Have had another fantastic day with the parentals.

Mum and dad are just such delightfully funny people to be around.

Lovely Ally, enjoy xxx

We were sat at the coffee earlier, when this bloke was walking around, asking for donations to a charity. He was watched by us all, as he went to all the restaurants and coffee's.

He got to us and asked if we would like to donate (in Portuguese). Our dafty friends said that we don't Portuguese so he asked if we speak English. Before we could answer, they said that we only speak German or Dutch and the poor man didn't speak either, so off he went.

I should add, he got nothing from anyone, as we never know if they're a registered charity or not.

And then later on, a gypsy woman was coming round, trying to sell calenders. For as much as she could get, which was fine. They were for this year

A friend bought one, for a euro, down from 5

And only the Portuguese police will warn drivers where the speed camers will be.

And still catch an awful of of drivers

Just started piddling here too!!!! Luckily we've been out and got back in the dry, and Mick has just cut the grass, so the timing was just right

It's just started pouring here too, just as we got to the end of our walk on the Chase and got home just in time to save the washing it's gone so dark as well. Half an hour ago we were sitting outside of the cafe in the sunshine eating cakes

We're officially late, but tonight watched episode one of Breaking Bad - brilliant
Feeling smug that we still have the rest of it to go

[JoM]

We've not yet watched that!
Tom watched it all on Netflix (I think it was?) the other week, he was totally hooked.
