Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello on the Allegoria. Mon's on here with the Good
Morning Portugal Show live stream and podcast. To the way
In Commissioner, how are you doing today? Well, I hope
in Norway. Apparently when you're asked how are you, sometimes
Norwegians say I'm awake and I'm not crying. Well, hopefully
we can improve beyond that. Totally understand that. Hopefully we
(00:27):
can improve beyond that condition, if that's where you find
yourself this morning. I stayed up rather too late. My
eyes feel like sam paper. So let's see what happens
in this next hour, shall we. I need to hydrate,
I think, at least my eyeballs. And of course, starting
with the Bonda Daily give me very cheeky dog behind
(00:49):
me has taken advantage of the situation, waited for the
show to start and then helped himself to a box
of biscuits. Why are you okay? Good to admire his cheek.
Chocolate's bad for dogs. It's not too much chocolate, don't
worry you, dog lovers. But that was so cheeky and stealthy.
That is exactly what he's like. Just starting as I
(01:11):
was saying, with a Bondie of Daily Bit news where
the language, culture and well being here in Portugal for
around twenty minutes, and then we'll welcome the old guy,
the old guy, the og in Europe. That's James Holly.
He'll be joining us at about twenty past the hour,
and at twenty two we'll be talking to Steve, Steve
White of Home Miners, finding out what a busy investor
(01:34):
has been up to on this thirteenth day of January.
He's probably done as much work in these last couple
of weeks as many of us will achieve in a
whole year, Steve, So looking forward to talking to him.
And I have advertised UK US and Canadian experiences perspectives,
and of course that's where Steve comes from, a little
bit of UK, a little bit of Canadian background, and
(01:58):
we've got a wonderful bit a film of him on
a toboggan run which I'm looking forward to sharing with
you as well. So looking forward to talking to James
and Steve this morning. But we'll get underway with a
Bondier Daily and I'll start well, actually, some some lovely news.
Thank you very much Pete and Diane for capturing this
for us. This is real news, hey, heye you hey,
(02:20):
sling your hook? Come on, you finished the biscuits. You're
very naughty. Thank you very much to Pete and Diane
for sending in some this is the news that happened
on their doorstep or someone else's doorstep. And maybe I
can hear Pete singing in there as well, can in
a bit of a bass or a baritone in there,
if you listen very carefully, you're I think you hit
at the end. You hear Pete saying bon at the
(02:44):
end there. Thank you so much. This is a lovely
way to start the day. This is well before we
go to the continued singing of Welcoming in January Cantara
as genius, which sounds a little bit like the language
and culture section. It all mixes up, of course here
on the Bondia Daily. But before we go there with
we will have a look at a Central Portugal sunrise
(03:07):
eighteen glorious seconds of peace and quiet action in tranquility
from the Central Portugal sunshine. We're going into dead air now,
but in a really good way. Check out this the
sunrise this morning? Did I say sunset? Check out the
sun ah, check out the sunrise this morning. I think fresh.
(03:27):
This is you can't get fresher than this. With with
a news update from the Portuguese interior the yeah, yeah,
the coup de jas are here. Thank you very much
to the Bleaches for this. And then out of the
(03:59):
silence comes a good old sing song Portuguese style. You see,
you've got the quiet of the country side, and then
you get the church bells and the cock crawls and
the dogs and the local disco and pimber music or
people knocking on your door and singing that is you
(04:40):
and there, Peter, it's nit more than I recognize your
voice in there, I think as well, and offering a
little bit of a lower support on the sonic spectrum.
There and the harmonies of that song, they're well done.
Peting down, thank you so much for sending that in
on nine one three five nine zero three zero three.
A lovely insight. That's the news, that's the new And
(05:00):
of course there's some pretty grizzly and grim things happening
in the world at the moment, but we like to
present a slightly different view. That's not to say, of course,
if there's any help required, and there may well be
with the La fires, we might talk to Mike again.
I haven't even spoken to him about it, but I'm
sure he'll have a view. And if we can offer
any sort of support to you and yours with a
connection to Los Angeles, of course we will do our
(05:21):
best to do that. I mean, I don't think we
need to do any coverage on that because it is
amply covered. But when we might be able to help
is offering support to people from our own community who
might be struggling with any kind of experience or connection
with that. So we'll see what we can do in
that regard and with anything else any other big issues
that are going on in the world. How it affects
(05:42):
our community members is what is important to us. Jimmy,
do you mind? You see I knew it was a
bad idea allowing him to be in the studio. Now
he's having a fight with the other dog in the kitchen.
You can take the lad out of the countryside, but
you can't take the countryside out of the lad. Bondire Barada,
bonjour good and Morgan, what is gitting your box in Welsh?
(06:03):
Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, I hope your morning
is good. The sub zero weather has finally broken here,
so not quite so many layers to put on. We're
glad to hear that, coach, and I got your message.
I'll respond to you today and we'll get the balance
right of course on the wellbeing information, including your God
Squad tips of the day, that's in a little bit
(06:24):
of disarray as we go into the beginning of the year.
But isn't all well being in fitness a little bit
in disarray what with resolutions broken resolutions and promises and
resolutions for how we're going to deal with the up
and coming years. I'll get back to you on that,
coach and appreciate you and what you bring to our community.
Bond the all Agria from the bleaches then and a
(06:45):
JMC also with us wondier people as you say, and
somebody new JMC fairly new, I think to our community,
at least under that name cock Gaming. I'm not being
pranked there, am I mourning from cock Gaming? How are
you this morning? As you are? I still do not
thank you very much John for your correspondence as well.
We'll go with that. I was already to share some
(07:07):
Portuguese sayings with everybody this morning. However, you sent us
that lovely flag meme basically the Bandela, but the Portugal
and what the colors and emblems mean on the flag.
So we'll go with that. Will come back to that
for our language and culture section in just a moment.
Thank you very much as you all don for that
morning in hope you a lovely weekend. We had a
(07:28):
great time with Lean Lisbon or I think I know
what a great time with Lean Lisbon involves. Maybe one
or two beers, perhaps i'll gome O Savasius. But we
did miss the Carol singer on Saturday. We've got it
on Tuesday. Just pure bliss. Lol. That is a moonset.
I thank you very much for that correction. So not
a sunset, not a sunrise, not a moon rise, but
(07:50):
a moonset. I'm sure I've got there in the end. Yes,
thank you very much, thank you. Yeah, I only got
about three hours sleep, right. I love that. I love that.
Can't wait until Tuesday to do it. Oh that was
a singing from earlier on. I think there so JMC
just an excuse to mingle the Janas for a tinto Oh.
(08:10):
I see, yes, I don't mind singing, but I do
love a glass of wine as a reward at the
end of that. My weekend involved getting rid of the
mother in law. That sounds very unceremonious, on a train
and lots of shopping. The credit card is severely damaged.
Is that what she wanted? I'll leave, but you can
have to take me to the shops on the way home. Brilliant.
(08:35):
How are you doing this? When you do, let me
know in the chat any pictures and videos you see
what Pete and Diane did? Then nine one three five
nine zero three zero three, sincerely interested in what you
were up to a week and we'll do the weather
of course as well. We'll have a look at the weather.
How was yours? We got some sunshine, we did, and
a lovely pentagram in the sky. Those pilots are very skilled,
(08:57):
aren't they. A lovely pentagram in the sky yesterday on
an otherwise sunny day yesterday, GMC, it is fabulous. What
a way to start the year singing in January. We
know how to do things here in Portugal. Yes, so
we will do the weather and let's move into well,
let's stay with a culture for a moment, because me
and missus m as part of a very busy weekend
(09:17):
of some incredible ups and downs and all sorts and
ins and outs. We went out, managed to get have
dinner out last night and enjoyed this. As you can
see from the picture on the screen, that is a
well mostly eaten geladoor and ice cream. Now not any
old ice cream. Because I was trying to make an afogato,
(09:41):
which I don't know if there's anyone else who likes
an afogato, like an espresso coffee with vanilla ice scream.
I asked for Gilardo a balnil a vanilla ice scream,
and I had a very sweetly I had a cornetto
brought to me on a saucer unwrapped, at which point
I said, you know, Paigelardo ballosh, if you've got any
(10:02):
balls of ice cream, which is probably quite a risky
thing to say to a waiter, isn't it, if you've
got balls of ice cream? And he said, nah, no,
say you hold on a minute, Yes we do. Actually
we have our very own chestnut ice cream. Have you
ever had chestnut ice cream here in Portugal? We hadn't
until last night. Pitt was delicious. I can't show you
(10:23):
a picture of it in its full glory because we
ate it. Too fast that I just thought I had
the presence of mind towards the end of it to
take a picture. I said, miss hold up a minute,
and put a spoon in there for scale it was.
It wasn't like any ordinary ice cream, or certainly not
a mass produced one like the cornetto that I nearly
(10:44):
ended up eating this had He went to great lengths
to say, this has got Portuguese chestnuts in it, coshtagash,
and it had a little topping a syrup of port
wine red port wine reduction or syrup pause or something
like that on top of the made in their own
kitchen the chestnut. I scream that was delicious. Thank you
(11:07):
very much, Bohemia for that had a really nice angus
Berger as well, not anus Berger angus Berger, although you
never know what's in them, do you really? Thank you
very much, Bohemia. Great evening. The old guy in Europe
is finally awake Bondia gumpas felici segunda doorge molfoy vs.
Fin Samana, asking you what we're on at the weekend,
and we'll find out from him what happened with his
(11:28):
because he knows it's there's been a weekend because he's
joining me this morning. On the Monday morning, we did
first class train down to Lisbon and back fifty outrageous.
What a rip off? Fifteen euros each in lovely seats,
charging ports, really big restaurant car with reasonable prices. Sometimes
the train can be quite nice. There you go. Some
people haven't used public transport yet here in Portugal. You
(11:49):
know who you are. There's a welcoming message to that
genre of travel right there. From Pee. That's great, isn't it?
I mean, is that from Kshetello Branco possibly or Fundau.
That's great value, isn't it? Fifteen you that was? That
was I can't have been a return ken it? That
must have been. I mean, I'm not complaining. That's remarkable value.
(12:10):
If you compare and contrast that with, for example, the
rail prices in the UK, where did we get to
balls of ice cream? I believe as well we will
Oh okay, yeah, we're with the We're with the language
and the culture. What better expression of Portuguese culture And
thanks to Juil de Noort for this than the Portuguese
(12:30):
flag itself. You might have seen this meme doing the rounds.
I think it's good to dwell on it and have
a look. I had had it stored and ready to go,
and the prompt from Juel de Noort was all I needed.
So here you go. Here is the Portuguese flag. You'll
recommend that, and we'll be coming back to the red
and the green. And now I'm thinking I should have gone.
If I'm reading it from left to right, morning to you, Hugh,
as welcome morning to you Borondia, I should have probably
(12:53):
called blue Monday. More about that than when when James
joins us. It is a week until blue Monday, the financial, emotional, psychological,
sociological low point of the year. We're going with red
and green Monday, okay, So send in your pictures to
make sure we have a red and green Monday next Monday,
if you will, on the usual number nine one three
(13:14):
five nine zero three zero three. Oh, that's a nice shot.
You can see my barral and a part of my
chili collection. What's that thing up there, Well, that's a
sachet of something or other that missus m bought from
the Continental Store. Bottles of bearrow everywhere, it seems in
my kitchen, and some bottles of red wine there, and
also looking like the ventilator extractor is about to bust
(13:39):
into flames as well. I'll keep an eye on that. Green.
Then on the flag represents the future, reading from left
to right on your screen as we take a little
bit of a look at the Portuguese flag, as we
take a little bit of a look as we do
each weekday morning at Portuguese culture. So green, all well,
and good red on the other hand, on the other
(13:59):
side of the green there, red represents blood lost in
battle in Portuguese history. The castles on the red they shield, sorry,
well they kind of do. The castles on the red shield,
well done, carl represent victories over the moors. They're one, two, three, four, five, six,
(14:20):
seven castles. I wonder if they actually represent correspond to
particular castles in Portugal. They might mightn't they. The white
dots on the blue shields symbolize christ five wounds. Presumably, yes,
hammered to the cross and the wounds on the feet
and the hands and the crown of thorns. I am
(14:42):
guessing I'm no expert as that you can probably gather
and discern, but certainly Christ's five wounds represented there by
the white dot dots on the blue shields. And finally,
although I'm sure if we delve into it more, there
is more significance in the flag because when you're designing
a flag for a country, you have the chance done
you to symbolize so much with the emblem. The blue
(15:04):
shields in the coat of arms symbolize the five Moorish
king kings killed by Portugal was first king of Fonso Primero,
goodness gracious. So it's a flag of two halves, isn't
it some Quite a lot of pain and war and
victory there as well as green representing hope for the future,
which in our more modern and civilized times, we hope
(15:25):
we can live that live out that to intention there
green representing hope for the future. And that is my
news story this morning. I nearly forgot my new story.
Where did I start? I started with a moonset, didn't
I singing? In January? I better crack on and do
this quickly, and then a quick look at the weather
as well. A powerful meaning from Cark Gaming, A powerful
(15:48):
meaning this flag carries. Unfortunately people don't take it seriously nowadays.
Well we do, and thank you for being here, Cark Gaming.
That's return fifteen euros from Cristella Branco we booked embarrassingly
modestly priced and you can get a coach for seven
euros but no buffet car or wide seats. That's quite amazing.
Come back to more of your comments later. Oh, need
(16:09):
to say good morning to Emma. How are you doing.
What a beautiful morning it is here in East Algarth.
Hope all is well? We shall oh and of course
the thorn in the side, the fifth wound, not just
the thorn, a lance that pierced christis. Thank you for that.
I was hoping I would be helped out with that,
and thank you very much, as Juan Esta. The fifth
wound was the lance that pierced Christ's side there, thank
(16:30):
you very much indeed for that, for your help on that, John,
and for sending me and prompting me that idea in
the first place. Step we are doing the Bondia daily
everybody news, weather, language, culture and a bit of well being.
We better get on with it. This morning's news is Beanstalk.
If you have a look at our website, you'll see
that we have Bean's Talk on there and let me
(16:55):
just pop it up onto the screen. There we go.
That's our news item for today, and thanks to Antonio
F for this. This is asking the question, really, would
you like to get and grow some free beans and
help European sustainability and a dual diversity If you haven't
started growing things yet in Portugal and you'd like to,
This is a really nice little project. Thank you ANTONIOF
(17:17):
for the heads up on this. Applications are now open
for the twenty twenty five growing season of Increase, where
each participant this is a quote. Each participant will receive
seeds of old bean varieties to grow and mint their
development through an app recording photographs and characteristics of plants.
So you'll get some beans and you'll grow them, and
you'll take pictures of them, and you'll be part of
(17:38):
a research project. The data THEREFROM will allow the project
team from the Center for Biotechnology and Fine Chemistry the
CBQF from the School of Biotech of the Catholic University
of Portugal and Buordo to evaluate the properties of the
varieties and strengthen agricultural diversity in Europe. The aim of
the project, which involves twenty eight partners from fourteen countries,
(18:01):
is to promote the consumption and cultivation of pulses in Europe.
I think this is there's a little bit of a
hidden agenda to create more wind power here in Portugal,
but you will be helping with the preservation and characterization
of old beans. Hello old Bean. Since twenty twenty, the
project has had the participation of more than twenty thousand
(18:21):
You've been good company, twenty thousand European citizens who, over
four growing seasons, have helped to collect valuable as scientific
data and create a community committed to promoting a sustainable feature.
In twenty twenty four, this project was awarded the European
Union Prize for Citizen Science, recognizing its contribution to the
valorization of agro biodiversity. All you need to do then
(18:44):
is have a little bit of growing space. It could
be a field. You can have a gaff and a
garden as big as pizza, or you can have a balcony, garden, terrace,
and the enthusiasm is what you need to plant and
care for six different varieties of beans. Registration closes on
February and I'm going to give you the link for
getting involved in this, going back to the Portugal Club
(19:05):
where antoniof first posted the idea to us, and it is.
It was from a news story and I think that's
what I'm going to share with you is the link
to the Supper story for connection to this project, and
then you'll be able to go from there into claiming
your beans, which is probably is a Portuguese saying. Right
(19:29):
a minute or so, then to do a little bit
of weather before we welcome, I'll talk about not blue Monday,
but red and green Monday, which is what we're renaming
the twentieth. Just what's he doing. He's sending me semaphore
pulses and beans. Hold on a minute, all right, we'll
(19:50):
do the weather together the James. All right, yeah, fair comment.
He's counting himself in to the show. So let's play
his tune, shall we, And we'll do the weather together
with James and have a little bit of scroll through.
And actually he can choose the weather regions that we
look at today. So let's players theme tune and welcome
him on after this. Well, all right, I'm mute. Take
(20:49):
two to buy over, go, I'm way to concerto senor
same group, although sometimes worse James, it's not enough. There's
not enough weekend for my liking late to bed, late
(21:10):
to sleep, and early to rise this morning. But I'm
not complaining these. I need to drink a bit of
water so my sand papery eyeballs can hydrate a little bit. Oh,
this might help as well. I forgot the well being
the well being news this morning, the well being being.
Do you do you take a mega threes at all? James?
(21:31):
Not specifically omega threees? I take a multivinument. Okay, but
you know of the the idea. Don't you have lubricating
yourself with fish oils? As it worth? Oh? It supposedly
all kinds of benefits start, So of course did you
know there was a uniquely Portuguese way to do that? No?
I did not. Guess what? Guess what? How do how
(21:52):
do the Portuguese take fish oils? It's one of the recipes.
I've not done the river in their buncle yell yes, yes,
you're not going to see that anywhere else? Are you
on the planet maybe or where other Portuguese people live.
(22:13):
But buccal amiga three oils? How about that? If you
if you go it's a salmon or something, yes your cord,
I mean it probably is code yeah, but this is
yeah amiga threes and specifically cod fish. Sorry, swell buccle yell.
(22:38):
Every time Portuguese refers to it in English, it's cod fish.
There's always fish after Buncle Cord when they talk about
he's very good. Yes, nice point of order chairman there. Yes,
absolutely I have noticed that as well.
Hello on the Allegoria. Mon's on here with the Good
Morning Portugal Show live stream and podcast. To the way
In Commissioner, how are you doing today? Well, I hope
in Norway. Apparently when you're asked how are you, sometimes
Norwegians say I'm awake and I'm not crying. Well, hopefully
we can improve beyond that. Totally understand that. Hopefully we
(00:27):
can improve beyond that condition, if that's where you find
yourself this morning. I stayed up rather too late. My
eyes feel like sam paper. So let's see what happens
in this next hour, shall we. I need to hydrate,
I think, at least my eyeballs. And of course, starting
with the Bonda Daily give me very cheeky dog behind
(00:49):
me has taken advantage of the situation, waited for the
show to start and then helped himself to a box
of biscuits. Why are you okay? Good to admire his cheek.
Chocolate's bad for dogs. It's not too much chocolate, don't
worry you, dog lovers. But that was so cheeky and stealthy.
That is exactly what he's like. Just starting as I

Bond the all Agria from the bleaches then and a
(06:45):
JMC also with us wondier people as you say, and
somebody new JMC fairly new, I think to our community,
at least under that name cock Gaming. I'm not being
pranked there, am I mourning from cock Gaming? How are
you this morning? As you are? I still do not
thank you very much John for your correspondence as well.
We'll go with that. I was already to share some
(07:07):
Portuguese sayings with everybody this morning. However, you sent us
that lovely flag meme basically the Bandela, but the Portugal
and what the colors and emblems mean on the flag.
So we'll go with that. Will come back to that
for our language and culture section in just a moment.
Thank you very much as you all don for that
morning in hope you a lovely weekend. We had a
(07:28):
great time with Lean Lisbon or I think I know
what a great time with Lean Lisbon involves. Maybe one
or two beers, perhaps i'll gome O Savasius. But we
did miss the Carol singer on Saturday. We've got it
on Tuesday. Just pure bliss. Lol. That is a moonset.
I thank you very much for that correction. So not
a sunset, not a sunrise, not a moon rise, but
(07:50):
a moonset. I'm sure I've got there in the end. Yes,
thank you very much, thank you. Yeah, I only got
about three hours sleep, right. I love that. I love that.
Can't wait until Tuesday to do it. Oh that was
a singing from earlier on. I think there so JMC
just an excuse to mingle the Janas for a tinto Oh.
(08:10):
I see, yes, I don't mind singing, but I do
love a glass of wine as a reward at the
end of that. My weekend involved getting rid of the
mother in law. That sounds very unceremonious, on a train
and lots of shopping. The credit card is severely damaged.
Is that what she wanted? I'll leave, but you can
have to take me to the shops on the way home. Brilliant.
(08:35):
How are you doing this? When you do, let me
know in the chat any pictures and videos you see
what Pete and Diane did? Then nine one three five
nine zero three zero three, sincerely interested in what you
were up to a week and we'll do the weather
of course as well. We'll have a look at the weather.
How was yours? We got some sunshine, we did, and
a lovely pentagram in the sky. Those pilots are very skilled,
(08:57):
aren't they. A lovely pentagram in the sky yesterday on
an otherwise sunny day yesterday, GMC, it is fabulous. What
a way to start the year singing in January. We
know how to do things here in Portugal. Yes, so
we will do the weather and let's move into well,
let's stay with a culture for a moment, because me
and missus m as part of a very busy weekend
(09:17):
of some incredible ups and downs and all sorts and
ins and outs. We went out, managed to get have
dinner out last night and enjoyed this. As you can
see from the picture on the screen, that is a
well mostly eaten geladoor and ice cream. Now not any
old ice cream. Because I was trying to make an afogato,
(09:41):
which I don't know if there's anyone else who likes
an afogato, like an espresso coffee with vanilla ice scream.
I asked for Gilardo a balnil a vanilla ice scream,
and I had a very sweetly I had a cornetto
brought to me on a saucer unwrapped, at which point
I said, you know, Paigelardo ballosh, if you've got any
(10:02):
balls of ice cream, which is probably quite a risky
thing to say to a waiter, isn't it, if you've
got balls of ice cream? And he said, nah, no,
say you hold on a minute, Yes we do. Actually
we have our very own chestnut ice cream. Have you
ever had chestnut ice cream here in Portugal? We hadn't
until last night. Pitt was delicious. I can't show you
(10:23):
a picture of it in its full glory because we
ate it. Too fast that I just thought I had
the presence of mind towards the end of it to
take a picture. I said, miss hold up a minute,
and put a spoon in there for scale it was.
It wasn't like any ordinary ice cream, or certainly not
a mass produced one like the cornetto that I nearly
(10:44):
ended up eating this had He went to great lengths
to say, this has got Portuguese chestnuts in it, coshtagash,
and it had a little topping a syrup of port
wine red port wine reduction or syrup pause or something
like that on top of the made in their own
kitchen the chestnut. I scream that was delicious. Thank you
(11:07):
very much, Bohemia for that had a really nice angus
Berger as well, not anus Berger angus Berger, although you
never know what's in them, do you really? Thank you
very much, Bohemia. Great evening. The old guy in Europe
is finally awake Bondia gumpas felici segunda doorge molfoy vs.
Fin Samana, asking you what we're on at the weekend,
and we'll find out from him what happened with his
(11:28):
because he knows it's there's been a weekend because he's
joining me this morning. On the Monday morning, we did
first class train down to Lisbon and back fifty outrageous.
What a rip off? Fifteen euros each in lovely seats,
charging ports, really big restaurant car with reasonable prices. Sometimes
the train can be quite nice. There you go. Some
people haven't used public transport yet here in Portugal. You
(11:49):
know who you are. There's a welcoming message to that
genre of travel right there. From Pee. That's great, isn't it?
I mean, is that from Kshetello Branco possibly or Fundau.
That's great value, isn't it? Fifteen you that was? That
was I can't have been a return ken it? That
must have been. I mean, I'm not complaining. That's remarkable value.
(12:10):
If you compare and contrast that with, for example, the
rail prices in the UK, where did we get to
balls of ice cream? I believe as well we will
Oh okay, yeah, we're with the We're with the language
and the culture. What better expression of Portuguese culture And
thanks to Juil de Noort for this than the Portuguese
(12:30):
flag itself. You might have seen this meme doing the rounds.
I think it's good to dwell on it and have
a look. I had had it stored and ready to go,
and the prompt from Juel de Noort was all I needed.
So here you go. Here is the Portuguese flag. You'll
recommend that, and we'll be coming back to the red
and the green. And now I'm thinking I should have gone.
If I'm reading it from left to right, morning to you, Hugh,
as welcome morning to you Borondia, I should have probably
(12:53):
called blue Monday. More about that than when when James
joins us. It is a week until blue Monday, the financial, emotional, psychological,
sociological low point of the year. We're going with red
and green Monday, okay, So send in your pictures to
make sure we have a red and green Monday next Monday,
if you will, on the usual number nine one three
(13:14):
five nine zero three zero three. Oh, that's a nice shot.
You can see my barral and a part of my
chili collection. What's that thing up there, Well, that's a
sachet of something or other that missus m bought from
the Continental Store. Bottles of bearrow everywhere, it seems in
my kitchen, and some bottles of red wine there, and
also looking like the ventilator extractor is about to bust
(13:39):
into flames as well. I'll keep an eye on that. Green.
Then on the flag represents the future, reading from left
to right on your screen as we take a little
bit of a look at the Portuguese flag, as we
take a little bit of a look as we do
each weekday morning at Portuguese culture. So green, all well,
and good red on the other hand, on the other
(13:59):
side of the green there, red represents blood lost in
battle in Portuguese history. The castles on the red they shield, sorry,
well they kind of do. The castles on the red shield,
well done, carl represent victories over the moors. They're one, two, three, four, five, six,
(14:20):
seven castles. I wonder if they actually represent correspond to
particular castles in Portugal. They might mightn't they. The white
dots on the blue shields symbolize christ five wounds. Presumably, yes,
hammered to the cross and the wounds on the feet
and the hands and the crown of thorns. I am
(14:42):
guessing I'm no expert as that you can probably gather
and discern, but certainly Christ's five wounds represented there by
the white dot dots on the blue shields. And finally,
although I'm sure if we delve into it more, there
is more significance in the flag because when you're designing
a flag for a country, you have the chance done
you to symbolize so much with the emblem. The blue
(15:04):
shields in the coat of arms symbolize the five Moorish
king kings killed by Portugal was first king of Fonso Primero,
goodness gracious. So it's a flag of two halves, isn't
it some Quite a lot of pain and war and
victory there as well as green representing hope for the future,
which in our more modern and civilized times, we hope
(15:25):
we can live that live out that to intention there
green representing hope for the future. And that is my
news story this morning. I nearly forgot my new story.
Where did I start? I started with a moonset, didn't
I singing? In January? I better crack on and do
this quickly, and then a quick look at the weather
as well. A powerful meaning from Cark Gaming, A powerful
(15:48):
meaning this flag carries. Unfortunately people don't take it seriously nowadays.
Well we do, and thank you for being here, Cark Gaming.
That's return fifteen euros from Cristella Branco we booked embarrassingly
modestly priced and you can get a coach for seven
euros but no buffet car or wide seats. That's quite amazing.
Come back to more of your comments later. Oh, need
(16:09):
to say good morning to Emma. How are you doing.
What a beautiful morning it is here in East Algarth.
Hope all is well? We shall oh and of course
the thorn in the side, the fifth wound, not just
the thorn, a lance that pierced christis. Thank you for that.
I was hoping I would be helped out with that,
and thank you very much, as Juan Esta. The fifth
wound was the lance that pierced Christ's side there, thank
(16:30):
you very much indeed for that, for your help on that, John,
and for sending me and prompting me that idea in
the first place. Step we are doing the Bondia daily
everybody news, weather, language, culture and a bit of well being.
We better get on with it. This morning's news is Beanstalk.
If you have a look at our website, you'll see
that we have Bean's Talk on there and let me
(16:55):
just pop it up onto the screen. There we go.
That's our news item for today, and thanks to Antonio
F for this. This is asking the question, really, would
you like to get and grow some free beans and
help European sustainability and a dual diversity If you haven't
started growing things yet in Portugal and you'd like to,
This is a really nice little project. Thank you ANTONIOF
(17:17):
for the heads up on this. Applications are now open
for the twenty twenty five growing season of Increase, where
each participant this is a quote. Each participant will receive
seeds of old bean varieties to grow and mint their
development through an app recording photographs and characteristics of plants.
So you'll get some beans and you'll grow them, and
you'll take pictures of them, and you'll be part of
(17:38):
a research project. The data THEREFROM will allow the project
team from the Center for Biotechnology and Fine Chemistry the
CBQF from the School of Biotech of the Catholic University
of Portugal and Buordo to evaluate the properties of the
varieties and strengthen agricultural diversity in Europe. The aim of
the project, which involves twenty eight partners from fourteen countries,
(18:01):
is to promote the consumption and cultivation of pulses in Europe.
I think this is there's a little bit of a
hidden agenda to create more wind power here in Portugal,
but you will be helping with the preservation and characterization
of old beans. Hello old Bean. Since twenty twenty, the
project has had the participation of more than twenty thousand
(18:21):
You've been good company, twenty thousand European citizens who, over
four growing seasons, have helped to collect valuable as scientific
data and create a community committed to promoting a sustainable feature.
In twenty twenty four, this project was awarded the European
Union Prize for Citizen Science, recognizing its contribution to the
valorization of agro biodiversity. All you need to do then
(18:44):
is have a little bit of growing space. It could
be a field. You can have a gaff and a
garden as big as pizza, or you can have a balcony, garden, terrace,
and the enthusiasm is what you need to plant and
care for six different varieties of beans. Registration closes on
February and I'm going to give you the link for
getting involved in this, going back to the Portugal Club
(19:05):
where antoniof first posted the idea to us, and it is.
It was from a news story and I think that's
what I'm going to share with you is the link
to the Supper story for connection to this project, and
then you'll be able to go from there into claiming
your beans, which is probably is a Portuguese saying. Right
(19:29):
a minute or so, then to do a little bit
of weather before we welcome, I'll talk about not blue Monday,
but red and green Monday, which is what we're renaming
the twentieth. Just what's he doing. He's sending me semaphore
pulses and beans. Hold on a minute, all right, we'll
(19:50):
do the weather together the James. All right, yeah, fair comment.
He's counting himself in to the show. So let's play
his tune, shall we, And we'll do the weather together
with James and have a little bit of scroll through.
And actually he can choose the weather regions that we
look at today. So let's players theme tune and welcome
him on after this. Well, all right, I'm mute. Take
(20:49):
two to buy over, go, I'm way to concerto senor
same group, although sometimes worse James, it's not enough. There's
not enough weekend for my liking late to bed, late
(21:10):
to sleep, and early to rise this morning. But I'm
not complaining these. I need to drink a bit of
water so my sand papery eyeballs can hydrate a little bit. Oh,
this might help as well. I forgot the well being
the well being news this morning, the well being being.
Do you do you take a mega threes at all? James?
(21:31):
Not specifically omega threees? I take a multivinument. Okay, but
you know of the the idea. Don't you have lubricating
yourself with fish oils? As it worth? Oh? It supposedly
all kinds of benefits start, So of course did you
know there was a uniquely Portuguese way to do that? No?
I did not. Guess what? Guess what? How do how
(21:52):
do the Portuguese take fish oils? It's one of the recipes.
I've not done the river in their buncle yell yes, yes,
you're not going to see that anywhere else? Are you
on the planet maybe or where other Portuguese people live.
(22:13):
But buccal amiga three oils? How about that? If you
if you go it's a salmon or something, yes your cord,
I mean it probably is code yeah, but this is
yeah amiga threes and specifically cod fish. Sorry, swell buccle yell.
(22:38):
Every time Portuguese refers to it in English, it's cod fish.
There's always fish after Buncle Cord when they talk about
he's very good. Yes, nice point of order chairman there. Yes,
absolutely I have noticed that as well.
