Shanna, I was hoping to lead with an inspiring quote about vigilance, but found only politically-oriented ones, not climate-oriented ones, so abandoned that idea. What did bring me here is weather-related however. While getting drenched the other day, I took shelter in the entry of the Farmacia Luisa Todi where a woman walking by stopped and asked me if I was “Shanna”. I said, “Sorry, no”, and she continued on her way. As the rain showed no sign of stopping, I decided to keep walking, and caught up with her, where she was stopped a couple blocks ahead of me. I asked her if she was lost, she said she was looking for the entrance to the igreja you wrote about in your blog… then I remembered that you were the Shanna that did that YouTube video about Parque Bonfim that I watched before my husband and I moved here to Setubal in October! To the point: small universe, small world, small harbor town! Feliz Año Novo! (And if you see someone who looks like you, it’s probably me!)
Hi Shanna, wishing you a very Happy Christmas and joyeous New Year, take care, hope the flooding has abated! One Christmas in Spain, it was actually Christmas Day! We were just about to eat our Christmas dinner when water started seeping through the floor tiles!! Didn't need to go swimming in the sea which was only a couple of minutes away, our lounge was like a swimming pool!! Different Christmas that year! Take care, hugs xx
I hope all is well and the rain has stopped. Flooding is an ever increasing problem. It’s also extremely disruptive and soul-destroying for those affected. Take care. Sleep well.
Shanna! Not having good sleep is the worst! Although flooding is terrible too. Sorry to hear about both. I did, however, enjoy reading your newsletter. If only we could redirect some of this rain to our old home town.

I thought about you when I heard that Portugal's been experiencing torrential rainfall. Glad you and your home are safe! Take care.
