Full

The sky was full of balloons this morning, and a couple of noisy micro lights as well, never seen so many - this was the most I could get in one photo, though. Bottom left hand corner of photo is in Spain, and at least one of the balloons was Spanish.

Very full day as well. Market. Adega for lunch, good time with Zé Maria. And then, Ermelinda persuading me to try for a few days away, so tomorrow we're off for three nights. Which meant we had them for dinner tonight instead of tomorrow, sitting outside, listening to the new water feature. And worrying a bit about a huge spider busily catching flies in a web above us... Gone midnight now, just finished clearing up.

Gratefuls:
- getting a booking at the Homeboat, though I had to run into town to pay direct to them at the bank
- Mike spending most of the day strimming our long grass, today is the last day before it has to be done, against fire risk
- panna cotta with crushed raspberries, delicious, easy, and so pretty
