More than Marmalade

We did have more than marmalade for breakfast! Croissants, for a start, and pecan pastries. Melons instead of grapefruit because grapefruit aren't in season, so come from places a plane ride away, like S Africa; whereas melons are abundant at the moment, and very sweet.

Was hoping to get my Blip in Monsaraz, but Karis has been sick a few times (probably too much sun), so ended up going to Sem Fim without her and Paul. Here's hoping she can sleep and wake up better...

Gratefuls:
- walking to church around the castle for the first time in about six months
- Ermelinda giving us lemon balm to make tea for Karis
- the healing power of sleep
