Yesterday I bought a packet of josticks from “Hiper China” in Gouveia (there are many chinese shops in Portugal, yet few Chinese restaurants – go figure).

I chose them because I liked the smell, but on closer inspection the packet told me that burning them will attract money 🙂  I haven’t even taken them out of the car and into the office yet but today we have 3 properties that are now in the process of being sold, and I’ve just had another tonight! In addition to that I’ve heard from some clients who have been a little tardy with payments that they are about to make them, and one client came to the office to pay our fee!

To round off a good working day – one without a traffic jam on the way to the office (see pic above) – I also received an email from Jules Brown, travel writer, with a fantastic mini-article for our newsletter.

Here’s Jules’ “Postcard from Central Portugal” as a 30 second snippet of what’s in store!
