bah... fuckin postman knows me well and drives past and honks his horn and turns out he was about to show up at my place and he sees me going down the hill all ladened on my bike and ... grrr assholes

anyhow, wasn't difficult to request them forward it to the nearby post office service point at a petrol station in ponta delgada, which is like 20 minutes walk from my place, which i can get to via a path that has no tunnel or car traffic because the road is a coast road that is closed and a little too decayed to drive cars on anymore.

yay, getting my new bank terminal/navigator smart phone that will become very dumb and mostly disconnected... monday i guess 

 i'm definitely not going on any big walks until monady anyway... my knee just went "whinge" just now

got all my stuff sorted now... 5kg of beef patties in the freezer, 3kg of dripping in the fridge, and the shop up the road actually has decent looking steaks so i can eat steaks too

it is a bit of a climb but i'll be fine lol
