Missing in Monsanto


                                                                                                            March 25th 2017

Attention Curious Man fans!

We regret to inform you that an incident occurred here in Monsanto, the Most Portuguese Village' in Portugal.



The Curious Man and his Nice Wife arrived here yesterday with their lovely companions, Nice Wife's Nice Friend (NWNF) and Nice Wife's Nice Friend's Husband (NWNFH). The village. shrouded in mist and dripping with rain, looked beautiful in the evening light.


And the four companions enjoyed it very much, wandering the streets, marvelling at the houses squashed between and under giant granite boulders and feasting on Portuguese delicacies.



But next morning, something strange seemed to come over the NW.


Maybe it was the umbrella saga or the missed plane or the stuff up about the car pick-up. Perhaps it was the incident in the restaurant the night before when the CM coerced and confused the waiter, who had very little English, into explaining in Portuguese to a local lady why we couldn't buy her home-made pomanders because of the Australian Customs laws...
...but something just seemed to snap..

"If there was ever a place, this has to be it," thought the NW...

And so the plan was enacted....

The Set Up

The Lure
The Act

The Deed is Done
NWNFNH ponders life sans CM. NW cleans up the evidence, deleting all traces of CM from her phone.

NWNF wonders what's taking them so long...
