Late afternoon Laburnum

(I've now caught up with all my Madeira holiday snaps)

I have a new office! With daylight! Went back to work today and moved my few things to the big new  (second hand) desk by the window. The room gets the afternoon sun. I haven't blipped it yet because there's just a desk in a spartan room, so far. We'll get some new colleagues soon.

Feeling that I hadn't had enough exercise, I went for a leisurely walk around the cemetery. While I was there, the phone informed me that a reservoir is being searched in Portugal, for the remains of Madeline McCann, the little British girl who is believed to have been abducted from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in 2007. Oddly, I remembered walking around the cemetery more than a year ago, in winter, listening to the Fairy Meadow podcast, about a little British girl who disappeared on a beach in Australia, not long after her family had emigrated there as ten-pound poms in 1970. That little girl has never been found.

When I got to 9,000 steps, I went home. Steve made supper. I practised Portuguese on Duolingo and walked another thousand steps. Am now watching  Maryland, part two, on Itv x. Couldn't wait until tomorrow.
