Gathering in the Bar

Record numbers at Sem Fim tonight, even though Dan and Mireille had to bow out at the last moment, due to a trapped nerve. The guy at the till with Gil (the Dutch owner) is Gonçalo, Zé Maria's youngest. Gil sat with his wife at one end of the table, and his ex at the other, all on good terms.

A good end to a rather depressing day. 

Gratefuls:
- taking communion in the Livestream with Deb (and Vanessa) this morning
- finding Zé Maria at Vila Velha again, and chatting to various people
- stunning almost full moon scudding inbetween wavy clouds
