So good to see so many of the regulars are here, clearly I need to stop by more often.

I didn't even know this existed. It clearly needs a relaunch and maybe some re branding. Strewth! I'll have a schooner if anyone's buying.

I hope everyone in/around Pedrogao Grande is OK!

The Portugal Resident is reporting 39 dead and at least 50 injured.

The sky last night looking from my place towards the PG direction looked like armageddon had arrived.

It would seem we lost our house and the old Merc.
Thankfully our tenants managed to escape but they lost everything.

Still sketchy reports as power and mobile phone masts are down.

I hope all expaters in the area are safe. If anyone needs help / accommodation please post on the forum.
