Wine and Sky Tasting

Two special treats today: wine tasting at Ervideira, with João, and then Dark Sky viewing, with another João - which wasn't actually that dark, as the moon is 76% full - see extra, seen through one of their telescopes. Clouds didn't help either, but at least the Saharan dust had cleared. I think the most exciting bit was seeing Jupiter and three of its largest moons.

But, underlying anxiety as well about our forthcoming trip to Évora tomorrow, for the inspection to determine the colour of our car, especially as, to get it there, we have to drive illegally, without a car document. And Mike's discovered the central locking isn't working. But the big question is if and when we get our car back...

Gratefuls:
- Felicity and I making another batch of marmalade
- Paul and Mike getting water to where we need to make cement 
- having Netty and Rich's car to get places
