Not much news. Had a problem with not getting hot water last week so had to get that fixed which was pretty quick and painless. Before the fix I had about 5 minutes of hot water so you can imagine how efficient I became at taking showers :-)
Now I have about 10 minutes so I can relax a bit more before I literally get a cold shower.

Did some more paperwork, changed the address of my fiscal number to my current one and registered as a citizen at the Camara Municipal de Funchal. Hopefully that settles all paperwork since I've been walking around the city center during office hours a lot to arrange things.

The weather is still great, it's about 22 Celsius/74 Fahrenheit now and pretty sunny. In mid-November!
I'm lovin' it!

Watched Johnnie To's "Vengeance" movie again with some colleagues on Saturday night, went to the Indian Taj Mahal restaurant afterwards for late dinner. I had mango lassi and the chicken bhuna. Good food, decent prices. This was already the 2nd time I've been there and I foresee many more visits.

I still have wasps and bees on my balcony but there's no nest/hive so my landlady said she got an exterminator to check out the entire apartment building since the nest/hive might be on someone else's balcony. I've been spraying/killing wasps and bees left and right, I guess I'll just keep doing that until either one of us leaves :-)

Watched 3 quarters of the Steelers game last night and at the 23-3 score in favor of the Patriots I went to bed. It was 4am so I figured sleep was more important than watching the Steelers take a beating. Turns out the 4th quarter was quite eventful with the Patriots winning by 39-26. Oh well, next week the Raiders at 6pm my time so not in the middle of the night. Steelers should also be able to beat the Raiders but last season's 5 game losing streak is still fresh in my memory...
