Great Lakes

... not sure what of, but the ants obviously liked it - on our pavement this morning, and the only reasonable photo I took all day. 

Been working like Trojans (why did the Trojans work so hard??) all day, clearing and organising and cleaning and more painting and taking car on fruitless trip to Reguengos and posting and handing over keys and watering and digging and...   because realised that today is basically our last proper day here before we arrive back from England with Julia and her boyfriend.

Gratefuls:
- I saw rain! sadly only in Reguengos, but near...
- energy to work (though it's gone now)
- Eduardo able and willing to water while we're away
