Partial View

The edge of Mourão that we can see from the lower part of our Land. Counting off the days till we can go again. Though it won't be the same. The Adega is closed; so is Chaminé, and neither plans to re-open till all this is over. (When will that be??)

Mike has been strimming the crackly, high grass to make fire breaks. And plastering two walls in the utility room. I've been cleaning and sorting and trying to put the garden in some sort of order - why do hot, dry climates produce so many vicious, prickly plants?? And washing our quilt, won't be needing that for a while. And cleaning out the wood burner, same.

Gratefuls:
- air conditioning at naptime
- wide open skies, have missed that
- the smoke alarm that we brought back - Mike has installed it outside, so we're woken if there's a fire coming towards us

This song - expresses so movingly a lot of what I believe about the racism issue.
