Spiderman from the Amazon

Some distant relatives of our son-in-law have been staying for a couple of days, having come all the way down from Manaus, on the Amazon. This little chap is a laugh a minute - totally hyperactive and never stops chattering, but very sweet.

They set off this morning to drive to Espirito Santo State, up the coast. There are dozens of things I should have done since they left, particularly since I deprived myself of more than a quick glimpse of Wimbledon while we had lunch, but I've been faffing, and am now trying to catch up with blip.

I think a pause and a cuppa are called for. Later we have to go out to collect a washing machine I've bought second-hand from my favourite local site.
