Woke up this morning with the sun beating thro the blinds although the temperature currently is still not back to normal but that will happen in next few days we understand. Noel as usual pursued some Broadoaks site work and also caught up with the previous day blogging and then to discuss our plan for today. We decided that it would be nice to walk down the road to the Shack which we had visited briefly last week and so after also deciding to try to charge the car with the local EV connecter. Let me divert for a moment, although I have charged the car at home many times I have not had the opportunity or need to charge using the stand alone EV chargers.soe here is a bit of a history.
When receiving the car in November I downloaded a lot of apps offering connections, being an amateur and understanding little about the subject I connected with about six apps and so when trying to find where my local EV charger is here in Quinto De Largo 5 out of 6 said nearest was to far away and then as a last resort I tried the Octopus App, we use Octopus for home utilities , and it showed that there was one charger on the estate site where we are staying, wow. So we located the EV charge unit and had a bit of a fiddle trying to understand Portuguese instructions but by playing with the app suddenly their was click and it all started working, brilliant.
So anyway after this we walked down the road and it took about 15 minutes, would have been faster without my slow walking pace, and although the car park by the restaurant was full the restaurant was not and so presume others were walking around the lake etc. We found a seat and had a most enjoyable lunch and it was like eating on a beach environment and something will do again later this week as its a good walk.
In the evening Noel watched the England football game where it was almost the same formula as before, keeping the ball and sending back and forwards along the centre line with very few real solid attempts. Recognising that the opposition being of lower standard and they focused on defence and so there was perhaps 30 or more shots at goal mostly from within the penalty area and only out of two worked but the only one attempt from outside the area was the free kick with a 100% accuracy so why do they keep trying to get the ball in the penalty area when you have a better chance from outside. I know I am not a football manager but some things to me are quite obvious.
