A mural for our times. I’d gone for a stroll by the water in neighbouring Cabanas when this curly headed cherub caught my eye. The following day there was an outbreak of Covid-19 and it became a place to avoid. Fortunately numbers seem to be decreasing locally and we have hopes of a return to normal life.
Love a bit of street! π¨ β₯οΈππ
Me too π€π
Ahh normal life, every so often something reminds me of that. Looking at photos, there are hardly any recent ones and that reminds me of how I do these days. I’ll have a virtual hug please!
Sending a huge big hug π π We’re waiting hopefully here for a lifting of restrictions, but I think the mask accessory is here to stay π¦
Neat mural, Jo . Hopefully the vaccinations get to everyone in the coming months
Thanks, Chris π π Nice to meet you.
You too π
Cite mural. I hope your numbers have decreasedm
Thanks! They are getting better π π
Such a sweet mural. I too have seen Portugal’s numbers declining. how is the vaccine roll out there?
They are still focusing on over 80s, Sue, and I think there is a shortage of vaccine available so we’ll just have to wait our turn. π π
Yes sounds similar. Patience all around.
Hello there
Its Gunjan Rathor this side.

Right now we are preparing for an anthology and came to Know that you are a good writer. It will be great to see you joining usΒ
If you want I can send you more detailsΒ
Thank you, but no π
So cute. Glad to hear numbers are down…
Thanks, Amy! π π We’re waiting for the government to announce when restrictions will lift but we think another month.
Will we ever get back to normal.. ;-(
I’m trying not to let it get to me, Lisa π€«π
True hard times! Hoping our normal back!
Not sure how long that will take, unfortunately. ππ
Jo, very much a mural of our times and I think one that should stay there to remind us later of these difficult times, the era of masks! It’s good your numbers are going down and that seems quite fast, thankfully. I saw on the news how German doctors were flown into Lisbon and had no idea Portugal was in such dire straits. Hope things will quickly get better. Here it is such a see-saw of good news/ bad news I’ve stopped watching it.
The health service here doesn’t have the same resources as some and the cities have been hit badly. Grateful for the incoming help. In the Algarve the restrictions don’t feel so necessary and are inflicting huge damage on local businesses but the government doesn’t want to make an exception. I’m distressed by the UK’s latest move but powerless to do anything about it. πππ
What a very sweet mural, Jo. I hope there are more adventures ahead for you in the near future…keeping track of Covid numbers is heartbreaking. I have a dear friend very ill right now. We hope for better soon!!
The virus has changed our world in a way I find hard to comprehend, Debbie. To visit the UK I will have to spend 10 days in a hotel of the government’s choice at an estimated cost of Β£1700. You can’t put a price on lives but I’m devastated by this decision. I hope for the best for your friend, hon.
Great to hear Covid numbers are declining! And I just noticed your followers are increasing — you’ve hit 12,000?! Congrats, Jo!! Well done and well deserved!
Thanks, Kelly! π π It’s been creeping towards that for a while. Who are all these people?
A sign of the times for sure. Happy to hear your cases are going down, I think our area is falling too, our state has vaccinated over 1 million, I sure hope the trend continues
The vaccination programme here is slow, but keeping numbers down is the important part. Thanks, Alice π π
What a delightful mural.
You never know where you’re going to find them π π
Best wishes for continued improvement in the covid situation, Jo. That little angel says it all – stay safe.
Thanks, darlin! Not the best of times but we’re getting through it π π
One day at a time.
Awww. Cute.
I do have a soft spot for angels π π
