May has always been a bit of a strange month for me. It doesn't know what it wants to be for a start. Spring or Summer? Oh, it's in between. Hot or cold. Oh, it's in between. Happy or sad. Oh, it's in between. This isn't May - it's me at the moment.
I 'celebrated' my 'cancer-versary' last week on 19th May. Six years since my life first changed with that diagnosis.
Today, I wish I was celebrating another anniversary but obviously I'm not. It had been the happiest day of my life and the date deliberately chosen to overshadow one of the saddest. Instead, I now have a double day dose of May misery.
So to overcome that I'm in Portugal with Sarah and Rhian. Specifically, Porto & by the end of this week Lisbon. I'm here with my favourite Welsh girls to soak up what Portugal has to offer and to enjoy. To enjoy life and to remember all the good it has to offer.
We arrived late yesterday straight into a nice hotel with a scary lampshade and a very authentic Portugese restaurant down the road. The food was interesting to say the least. Now I know that serving a tasty hunk of steak with some crisps on top is Portugese cuisine, dinner parties will never be the same again!
Bit like life I suppose, just full of surprises.

Oh... I have one of those months, a nasty one full of nasty dates. I got two puppies during that month one year and those dates became their birthdays.
I hope that you've had an amazing time in Portugal and made new May memories.
