Bikinis at Bedtime

Lovely, relaxed evening with Netty, Rich, and the girls, plus Scrappy the rafeiro dog, and Bovril, the cat.

Met Rodrigo, our neighbour, this morning - a ewe had given birth, but had rejected the lamb because she has no milk - the continuing drought is so worrying for folk with animals...

Gratefuls:
- prayer walking into Mourão (though left it a bit late, was a killer walking back), and our Wednesday tuna toasties, plus, João is getting very good at iced coffee
- Zé Maria jumping out of his work truck to give me beijinhos (he´s looking very thin, says he´s got problems with his teeth)
- being able to cool off in the wine vat, so relaxing just sitting in deep water, and eating a bunch of the grapes hanging over me - luxury
