Hot n sunny in the Algarve

Went for a 3 mile walk this morning, at 9.50, back to the villa just after 11.... looking like a Englishman looking for his mad dog!

Not helped by a rucksack on my back, but it did mean a chance to use the 'crystal ball'.

Needed to use it after the security guy at Bristol Airport asked "what's this?". My reply of it's a glass ball for taking photo's with didn't seem to go down very well.
