Unexpected

Filled up on our way to Reguengos, and then the engine started stuttering... we'd put petrol in our diesel car, incredible!

Gratefuls:
- that the car made it as far as the island by Continente, the supermarket, in a place that we could easily push it to a safe place, and I could go buy a sandwich; we had been on our way to Sem Fim for dinner
- our rescue service (eventually) finding a breakdown truck, in Terena, quite a way away; the one in Reguengos doesn't work at weekends
- Duarte, our mechanic, (behind Mike) being an absolute star; not only did he cheerfully open his garage for us on a Sunday night, but then gave us a lift back to Mourão, when the rescue service couldn't come up with a taxi

Now we're just hoping he can fix it; supposed to be going down to Faro on Tuesday to fetch Paul and Felicity.
