We went to Pega das Pias on Sunday and spent the day lolling in the shade and swimming in the beautiful fresh water. It was a very hot day so it was the best place to be. Isabella and Nuno went upstream with a shrimping net and a bucket and came back with a crayfish. We put it back so it could be with it's friends, after we had all had a look.
Here is a picture of the chair R has made for me. It's really comfortable and can be used on slopes. Orders taken!
And here is a chair I found thrown away. It was disgusting, covered in worm casts and other stuff, an old leather cover, but I saw it had potential, so I stripped it down and have given it a temporary cover. I will make a smart denim cover for it in the next few days. It's good to do indoor stuff when it's too hot to be busy outside.
The cherry tomatoes continue in abundance. I have dried some and also dried some plum tomates. Very satisfying to preserve stuff only using the sun, especially since we have so much of it at the moment.
Finally, here is a photo of a cork oak that has been peeled this year. You can see it goes a lovely pink colour to start with. They are beautiful trees, full of grace and movement.
