We've got more help

Postby tonicha » 03 Apr 2016, 16:10

Our friend Sonia has a son who needs to speak more English, to help him with his future prospects - he's 18.

So for the nest few months, at least once a week, he's coming to us - as part of the family - to spend the day with us. He'll help out doing whatever, gardening, cutting stuff back, anything.

Sonia said we're not to pay him and she'll bring him and take him home.

But we'll sort something out.

We have been accepted so much quicker here, than in the Algarve. I'm sure that wouldn't have happened down there.

And Felipe came up, with the sheep, and 3 lettuce, 10 lemons, 6 very fresh eggs and a handful of radish :Hi: :Hi: :Hi:

As I bought 2 lettuce yesterday, we're going to have a lot of salads next week :lol: :lol:

We love it Cal :Hi: :Hi: :Hi: :Hi:

Felipe spent 3 hours this morning, turning the land we're letting him use and will, no doubt have at least one more bonfire, to get rid ofg the weeds.

Alex is coming up on Friday now and we're to speak nothing but English to him.

I've got to remember to speak slowly, as I tend to talk rather quickly :oops: :oops:
