Good and Bad

Got to show the house where we'll be living to the kids - the miracle is that the builders have finished, and Sr Carlos and Sra Fatima have come from Lisbon to clean up after them and assemble some furniture in the rooms for us - they are being so kind, and very grateful to M for sorting a door the builders had left jammed. So it really does look as though we'll be moving in at the beginning of March...

Just look at that flowering plum that we'll see whenever we look out of our bedroom window!

The extra is tonight, Paul entertaining Zion while everyone packs - we are leaving here at 3:30am... not good, especially as Zion still not well, poor little thing. We've just come in from church and an incredible meal that Bia made in honour of our family being here. Please forgive me for not commenting tonight.
