My best friend sent me a message this morning saying he was feeling a bit down, which doesn’t happen often (he’s usually the one cheering everyone up).

So I suggested we go for a long walk before the 13h00 curfew and we turned it into a playdate for our boys who are the same age.

We walked (the boys ran and jumped) along the tracks that go through the Guincho dunes in Cascais, the sun was up, there was no wind, the light was incredible.

In the end, walking, talking and laughing to tears with the kids’ adventures, he was back to his usual self. And I felt pretty well too.
