Was it work that took you to Portugal?
Doing what?

Hey speedy
1) I use, primarily, PaintDotNet, I'm a big fan, run all my pics through there: rotate, crop, sharpen, tweak levels & curve. I also love working layers in PDN but most pics don't require that. There are some tools in Gimp I like ... Perspective, for straightening tall buildings: you can stretch a pic if it's a bit squiffy.
Affinity and Luminar AI are two fun-looking inexpensive progs. Hmmm maybe after buying a new computer.
2) No, I don't do video.

Hi guys, I married a Portuguese girl back in the 80s, we always planned to retire to Portugal, in 2001 my corporate event consultancy went tits up. I was 50 and decided to retire early, sold up in London, moved to Lisbon, bought two apartments, lived in one, rented out the other.
So Foxy, yes, I haven't done a proper job in 20 years, and for 10 years before that I was working from home. I worked quite hard, was a good schemer, well disciplined, there to answer the phone from 9 - 5 after an early morning run.
And Carol, it was laziness that took me to Portugal.
