I'm up a little too early today

I have been awake since about 12:30 am (yep, that's half past midnight, you read correctly) because of stupid jet lag. I had a really strange dream where two of my friends were forced to get married within the week or a man would kill them, so I was a bit confused when I woke up. Since then I've been tossing and turning in my bed - I swear to god I changed position about a million times - trying to get back to sleep; I went downstairs to have some warm milk, I read my book, until finally at like 5:45 I gave up and went downstairs to watch tv. 

So I went downstairs and made myself a light breakfast and a cup of tea, before heading to the living room, tripping over my dog and almost dropping everything (she really is invisible in the dark!!), and plopped myself onto the sofa, where I am currently sat watching friends. I am absolutely exhausted and I feel like my head is wrapped in a fog, but my body thinks it's 2:15 in the afternoon so there is no way I'm getting to sleep. Today is going to be a hard day...

But apart from this little hiccup things have been great in Portugal so far. My parents' new house is so nice and cosy, and they have given me my own room! And I think it's very cosy! 

It was such a warm welcome (which was expected) just chilling in mum and dad's new living room, just catching up. The living room still needs curtains and stuff on the walls but I thhmink it's really cosy. 

Yesterday my dad was going to what my mum referred to as "gubbdagis" (old man kindergarten), which is some kind of gathering for the men in the area (I think) so me and mum went to the Cascais shopping centre for the afternoon. 

We went for a very healthy lunch, then coffee and did some shopping. When we got home my dad was waiting and we spent the evening watching Jackie, a film about Jackie Kennedy after the murder of JFK. But I went to bed at 9 pm which was obviously too early since I woke up at midnight and have been up since then. Oh well.
