back

and I meant to make pictures of the village's beautiful new stone-circled
flowerbeds, the re-painted play-ground features, the newly concreted ball-game ground, but by the time I got round to it the weather turned horrid;
Yesterday it was beautiful, we turned the tonnes of hay Alan cut - but alas, it is all getting wet today, after a forecast for two weeks of dry weather. It is cold as well, so I am a bit worried about the cherries and the strawberries that were expected to ripen in a few weeks. I am pleased I managed to trim the sorrel and collect a good load, for two portions, one for the freezer and one to be eaten straight away.
There are no bookings - it seems that everybody want to WWOOf - we have two/three applications per day for that - but nobody wants to be hostel-guests; we have about 3 single nights booked besides the Big Portuguese Event from the 30th of June for 9 days. (15 people! It should get the solar shower and the dry composting toilet a good try!)
Also we'll have some concreting and wallrendering work to be done that was not planned, hopefully gets done before Lois gets here.
(Isn't it great that we have no guests...)

my mum is in the same condition with the same ups and downs, so we have to figure out how to care for her before they pronounce her stable enough to leave with no more medical options.
