Fig Leaf

Not quite big enough yet to cover much...

To Évora for most of day, to get wood for the ceiling in bathroom, wire fencing for trees, and suchlike. 

But also managed to fit in a trip to the cinema to see a new Portuguese film, Snu, based on recent history, of a charismatic politician, Sá Carneiro, and his Danish love, Snu Abecassis, who were both killed in a plane crash in 1980, just four years after they met. Thought it was a good watch, but the point was mainly to keep on learning more about Portugal. Which we did.

When one moves to another country, you have to keep on trying to piece together bits of information, history, language, to try to understand... though you'll never have it in your bones like the locals.
