cold vs colder or the return to london

Why is it so cold in London? I guess I notice it more for having returned from Lisbon, where the weather wasn't brilliant but at least it was over 15 Celsius.

Anyway, Lisbon was good.
While I was there:

Anibal Cavaco Silva took charge of the country as our new President - first right-wing President since the '74 Revolution. It was the goodbye to Jorge Sampaio who was in charge for the past 8 years.

Non Stop the Portuguese girl band won the Festival da Cancao which is the Song For Eurovision kind of thing that elects the song for Eurovision. The song is called "Coisas de nada (Make you dance). This is a catchy pop tune - it was my favourite and shhhh!... I voted for it.
It's Doce all over again, over 20 years later - 4 good looking girls (but with better voices) and a catchy tune. You can listen to the live version here and watch the video of that night here.

Benfica beat Liverpool at Anfield Road 2-nil and made their way on the Champions League. They will play Barcelona on the 28th of March and Susana and I will be watching the game in Stockwell that night.

I watched the brilliant Good Night, And Good Luck, and also Capote which I found a bit disappointing. Time constraints made me miss the Portuguese terror movie Coisa Ruim (Evil Thing).
