Oops! I did it again - I Manifested an Awesome House

If you've been reading my blog/ following my journey for ( more than ) a couple of years now, you might have seen me move country ( The Netherlands to Portugal ) and move house several times, including buying a little house in a mountain hamlet, renovating it and selling it, 3 years later.

You might also have noticed that I lived in some pretty spectacular places, with often amazing views, one time even free of charge ( house sitting a place of friends, before they moved in ), with as an added bonus a 7 hectare ~~garden~~ forest and their private part _{not to be confused with 'private parts' although you could let them air out there, if you felt like it} of river.

To be honest, my last place ( that I am about to move out of ) has been the most disappointing of them all, in 5 and a half years in Portugal but, truth be told, that apartment was located in a nice little city and the contrast ( nature to noise, house with garden to stuffy apartment) was needed for me to know what I did ( not ) want and to end up in the house from where I am typing this right now, the place where I spent my first night, last night...

I was hesitant, yesterday morning whether I should cycle to my new place or wait out the rain. The problem was that there might be 3 or 4 more days of water falling from the sky and I was getting impatient.

Aside from that , I am already paying rent for this place since the 7th and the key was waiting for me ever since the last tenants, friends of mine, left for Germany ( a day or 10 ago ).

It was fair to say that the house needed me and that I needed the house ;^)

So I decided to have lunch and leave immediately afterwards. Just before lunch, I had bought a waterproof bag, one that can either be installed on my bike or used as a backpack.

I managed to make it to the place before the rain started and the wind picked up and, luckily, the off road track to my land wasn't a total mud pool.

Part of the garden itself ( there's a brook with running water semi circling along it ) was super wet though and I had to navigate these two step ladders, while simultaneously holding my bike. Aa nice challenge!
