Morning all, looks like a nice day today. Maybe our muddy walk will dry out soon and be less treacherous. Coming down the tracks yesterday was like a mudslide! All the Portuguese are out doing last minute pruning of their olives and fruit trees, or tying back the vines. Most of the log collecting seems done. They all use the local almanac to govern when things are done. We just copy them, as didn't get one this year. Daffodils are out in abundance and the camillias are nearly finished. Feeling good things are on their way!
