7:00 am ready to go

Just picked our dog up from the vet. He had vomititus at midnight on Thursday which got so bad that he was throwing up blood. No Idea what caused it and it was bloody scary, but £2000 and lots of worry later and he seems OK now thankfully.

I had to take my cat Zippy to see the vet a week last Friday. He had a poorly eye, got a horn in it a year or so ago was treated but was never right. A couple of months ago it sudenly got bad weaping gunk all the time, i had to clean it 4 or 5 times a day. in the mornings it was stuck together and the poor little fella had to put up we me washing and pocking around with Q-tips to get his eye open..Never a spit or swipe. Vet said bring him in, so i did and left him till the phone call_______5pm, come and get him...Poor sod had his eye removed..Was not the thorn but a tooth that did it. Root had gone bad and when he had bitten on some thing hard it had pushed the tooth up and through the roof of his mouth and into his eye..Poor little fella... Anyway he is doing ok now thou my bank account is not

What’s happening with you @Clive? Haven’t heard from you in a while.

Just scraped in by the skin of my teeth ...

I spent a lot of time cleaning the engine fins today, what a pain. Hopefully finish it tomorrow.

Tuna steak and spinach: Favas with chorizo: liver slices with onions: A tipical Ribatejo bifana, which is a pork sandwich Sofia’s delicious lamb croquetes Cabbage and chorizo rice, the best one I ever made because it was top season for cabbage during the coldest bit of the year.

An hour walk in the morning, takes two hours because we’re stopping to sniff and pee everywhere Today is a national holiday on top of being a saturday, so the village is going into full stupidity mode with all the Lisboners arriving and foreign girls parading everywhere with coffee cups in hand. Me and Luke will shelter from that until tomorrow. I barely managed to keep my sanity with a brief stop by the market.

18c here from 12 o clock on until 1900hrs Very not like Welsh weather, did lots doing the new shed base ready for the woodwork guy to come tomorrow. No idea why Tony wants to pay somebody to do the rest. All the hard work we have done I think he ( the woodwork guy ) is a family guy short of work. Tony did a repair on his work van two weeks ago that if not done would have failed the MOT. at no cost.. So he (Tony ) is Human after all.
