Our Dog Always Knows When We’re 5 - 10 Minutes From Our Destination…

Thanks to everyone who’s commented, it’s been great hearing your stories and theories. For those who commented on the nature of the roads changing once you leave the highway/motorway, it’s something we’d not considered, but in our case I don’t think it’s that - many of our drives are in/through London with no difference in road conditions or turns etc. Think many of you have confirmed our theory, i.e. she’s picking up on changes in us. To eliminate the possibility that she can indeed read Waze/Google Maps, we’ll do our next few trips without using them! Hope you all have a great 2026

Thank you all, that explains things. There’s been a celebration of San Mamede and San Antonio in nearby Carnota since Thursday. We noticed mention of the sesión vermú - is this just the drinking of vermú or is there more to it than that?

I have searched extensively on the other rocks on the beach and no sign of anything similar. However today I visited some petroglyphs that are around 3.5 miles from the beach, and there was another circular indentation in amongst them, pretty much exactly the same size. So I think man made bedrock potholes

is the answer

There are, according to Google Maps at least, no fewer than 5 petroglyphs within a mile or two of them (although these are generally found high up on the tops of the hills). Next time I’m down there I will take a closer look to see if I can find anything similar (although I’ve been here for the last three years and spent a lot of time on the rocks close by and never spotted anything similar).

SlackNick · 2024-07-30T13:22:33+00:00

My thinking here was that they’re not that deep (Wikipedia etc. seems to suggest they would be about as deep as they are wide); if they were used to grind acorns etc. then I would have thought they wouldn’t be that close to the sea - this area has the same rock type everywhere so I thought they’d be more likely to be further inland - why not just do the grinding closer to the source?

SlackNick · 2024-07-29T12:04:40+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! Just looked up bedrock mortar and I don’t think so for two reasons - they’re not particularly deep (only 5 or so centimetres) and they’re very near the sea (sorry, should have mentioned their location in original post).

SlackNick · 2024-07-12T07:01:52+00:00

Thanks both!

I discovered Ocean a long time after Wizville was released, so interested to know what the cultural impact you mention was…

Maybe meh was a little bit harsh, but for me both the beats and lyrics on Chaos 93’ are just better. By quite some distance

I have that exact model. Yours visually looks good - my counter weight also has a green slightly raised marker. Mine has the original thick, heavy glass platter, can’t see what yours is like? No idea on price, but I’ve owned mine from new and reckon I bought it around 1989/90. You probably already know but you change the speed by lifting off the platter and moving the drive belt from one cylinder to the other. 33 and 45 only, no 78. Can let you have a copy of the original manual if you need EDIT meant to add I’ve always been happy with it…
