As the title states, today was a pretty uneventful day. Kids and Irina went to Cascais. Dan met with another friend. After work we ran like mad to the Central Bank some twenty minutes uphill. We were two hours late. It’s like in that joke about the train. 
We decided to take a different route back home. Though some weird spatial arrangement after forty minutes of brisk walking we ended up two blocks from the bank. It was kind of funny. For myself, orientation is not one of my virtues. Dan is very much the opposite. My theory is that Dan must have angered someone somewhere and now we are dealing with the consequences. I guess we just have to find the right sacrifice to make to appease whoever it is that’s pissed. As a finishing touch, as we approached our building we were showered by some plaster from the neighboring building. The kids upstairs said “Sorry.” 
After kids and Irina came home we all went to Sukothai restaurant in Bairro Alto. Another five stars. And that’s not even because we like Thai. They served the first dish so fast that we thought it was those little appetizers they give you prior to serving your meal pump up the bill and stave off the hunger whilst they take their time. We almost refused it in disbelief. The rest of the dishes followed shortly. Everything looked and tasted great. The food was flavorful but not spicy but they gave us a little bowl of liquid fire. Dan would have loved his cooked in but I liked it this way because it was more controllable.
As for desert we went for the chocolate lava cake and lemon sorbet at 560. We were the only ones there. They’ve brought out deserts and then the chef and his assistant watched as Isabella did her usual number: try and spit. They laughed. Eventually she warmed up and ate a bit too. It is one of those perfect contrast deserts: sweet and sour, hot and cold.
