Pomegranate

... there are LOADS on the bush that Padre Luís gave us when we moved in, no idea what to do with so many. And beautiful red pears and apples, a gift from Analie.

Wasn't a brilliant day for sunshine, but needed to wash the bedding, and it did dry. Plus, painted three ceiling panels, leaving stars of the wood showing through.

Finished the two books I got for a euro each in Ayamonte: Notwithstanding, by Louis de Bernières, which we both loved - tales of the characters in an English village, some hilarious, some heart-wrenching, and
The Lollipop Shoes, by Joanne Harris, a sequel to Chocolat - quite dark, but a happy ending.
And now onto Intermezzo by Sally Rooney - can see why it's popular, but not really my sort of book, good insight into how young folk think nowadays, though. 
It's frustrating having to read what I can find here, not what I'd choose, but probably good that I end up reading more widely than I would otherwise.

Gratefuls:
- Mike managing to get the car to our mechanic in Reguengos, hopefully he'll be able to find the problem...
- some lovely news from home
- leftover quince crunch with our afternoon mug of tea
