Our land is bounded on one part by Carlos and Judy, Brian and Lesly on another and Antonio on the other side, with a teeny tiny little bit by the previous owners daughter.

We really need to cut back the estevas and shrubs on Antionio's side, as they're pushing our fence over.

Asked in the bar earlier - not the Antonio we thought Dimas thought it was Brian (well, he'd been on the wine since 10.00 this morning ) but the real Antonio is away this week-end.

So Jose, in the bar, is going to ask him, on his return, if he minds that we go onto his land and remove all the stuff, pushing our fence over.

As Jose said, just do it - he'll be more than happy but he'll tell him when he sees him next

We're all confused now ton and it's not my anniversary till monday
Wish I had been on the wine

Antonio, not the one we thought it was, turned up today and was more than happy that we're cleaning up around the fence.

Well, he would be, as we're doing his work

Maria, when she came up with the sheep earlier, said that he is a lazy farmer and we really shouldn't do his work, but she could understand why we were doing it.

And poor Felipe, who should have been clearing the rest of our land, has an abcess and is in huge pain, so won't be doing anything for a few days - poor lad. He's moved back with Maria, so she can look after him.

She loved the fact that her photo is now on facebook for the world to see

It's like The Archers with sunshine

Oo-arr, Oi say, Maria, 'as Felipe got an abscess or is that there a brake-light stuck up 'is bum? She says she don't know but what the police puled her over the other day to tell her a light was out in her rear.

I were talking wi Antonio the other day and I says "You must be glad them Inglish is clearing your fence". "I don't care less" he replies, "I ben't be that there Antonio with the fence, Oi bin the Antonio from the village cobblers and nail boutique, we do'n't have no fence"

Next week Grumpy visits Demetrio to have his corn inspected and Ferrao gets ready to visit his aunt in the city.

Stay tuned.

Sounds like Los Archeros to me "Tum tee tum tee tum, OLA!"

Are we all mad or is it just a few of us?

Demetrio sounds Greek to me

Dimas - pronouced Deemash think the snake in Jungle Book for the eee sound - all ssssh herein Portugal are sss

Sue, some-one we meet in the bar, thought another Antonio owns the land or it may have been his ex-wifes family

But what the heck, we've done some, he's happy, we're happy. Whichever bloke he is

Archers in Portuguese? No idea

Coming back from the bar, earlier, we ended up behind Jose's flock of sheep. Odette was the front runner, in her car and Jose was behind, in one of his trucks. Blasted sheep kept on munching on the gurt lush grass on the side of the road, instead of going where they should be.

Jose lost his temper and stomped orf, really shouting at his sheep

Ton, according to my sources Demitrio means 'loves the earth' it was why I suggested that he looked at Grumpy's corn.

WM, I know you hate fb, but please look at me photies - no Dimitrio here.

We have Thiago, Jose, Felipe, muito Antonio's

Oh and the Portguese do not pronouce the "h" in anything.

So Grumpy, being Keith, is Keet.

Thiago is Teago

And I'm Janeesa

And going to bed
