Electricity Ending!

It has never stopped drizzling all day - I don't mind at all, but our electricity depends on sunshine, and in spite of Mike trying to charge the batteries with a generator, we are pretty low - so need to Blip before it runs out completely, as battery on my laptop is hopeless. For light, we have candles; for heat, we have the woodburner - but no electricity means Mike can't work much - no sunshine predicted - we might have to decamp...

Happy to have been to Reguengos on my own for groceries and so on, the scariest bit was going down our steep, deeply rutted, slippery lane - I really should drive more!

Gratefuls:
- the battery operated lights in this photo
- the progress Mike's made by connecting his tools to the generator
- getting lovely cards and school photos from Zion and Allegra in our box at the PO today
