Rising of the Sun

The rising of the sun, at one of Mike's many risings… we went back to bed and slept for almost two more hours, exhausted. 

Grocery trip to Reguengos, where I bought the fixings for an impromptu picnic - went and sat at the jetty (which is high and dry, with Lake so low) beneath Monsaraz to eat it - as long as the sun was out, we were comfortably warm.

Gratefuls:
- Mike well enough to go out (though he stayed in the car at the supermarket, safer)
- making a start on a Christmas cake
- more sleep, making for a more upbeat day
