Our weekly hug across 8,000 kilometers. Two girlfriends, once inseparable, now living two very different lives – one in Vancouver & one in the mountains of Portugal. This is 8000clicks between two chicks. esquerda (left) is ~t~ in portugal | direita (right) is ~d~ in vancouver .tNb

We took a short break but I’m so happy that chick<8000clicks>chick is back. A city chick and a country chick, together in spirit but separated by more than 8000 km. This week’s theme was “glow” and I love the way Cabril’s country glimmer contrasts with Vancouver’s urban neon. I’m glowing with the season’s first roses on the [...]

Not long ago I was sitting on a sunny patio in Yaletown with djbeat, swilling overpriced martinis and laughing at the foolish businessmen chasing tiny women in tiny skirts.

I’m celebrating the new infrastructure at Cabril on the left* while djbeat [...]
Year after year I fall in love with fall. Although this year it feels more like summer with temperatures hovering near +38C, the crisp morning air brings me instant energy. The leaves have finally started to turn and I’m delighted every time I see a tree full of fuzzy chestnuts. This week’s heavy rains signal [...]
I spent the last week getting lost in the hills of Portugal with Daddy Bravo. We hopped into our trusty Yaris every day and drove into the wild blue yonder. We drove and drove … and drove … until we could drive no more. Hot damn(!) do I ever love traveling with a GPS. The [...]
We had our first serious rain earlier this week which quickly highlighted the areas of the house which need a bit more work. Guttering scored a very high mark. While I’m sad to see the end of summer heat I’m thrilled to be well into autumn. The mornings are crisp, the days are mellow and [...]
Sit on the porch without no shoes A-picking the bass Playing the harp and singing the blues … * . This week for chick<8000clicks>chick we stayed home. I’m wailing out of tune with Penfold on the left and djbeat is soft and cuddly on the right. Want to play along? Leave a link to your [...]
