Weather is improving

Well we hade a nice easy day, the cleaners arrived to sort our the apartment although its tidy and clean anyway but its has been kept very clean. Today the gilrs cleaned all the main windows and washed down the balcony so good for them.

A usual day with Noel blogging and Jennifer sorting out stuff and we decided to have some chicken for late lunch today which was excellent with rice and veg. The two check breast we purchased for the local supermarket called Pingo Doce is part of the largest supermarket chain in Portugal and the chicken breast were almost the size of turkey breasts so how big was the rest of the chicken one can only guess.



We went for a walk down the road for a bit of exercise , just sufficient to avoid using the scooter but far enough to be useful. Our small estate is off a dead end road which terminates at the shack café restaurant. On one side of the road you have quite a large estate of white portugese style housing which is quite expensive to rent as they also have a pool and gardens and face the lake. On the other size up the hill there some huge houses, when I say huge i mean huge at around 8-10000 sq ft with large gardens and pools. I took a few photos and a small video which hope to put inn the Blog.


In the evening we watched ‘Plank of the week’ and also Walk with me Tim, who visited a  most expensive Safari resort in the Masai Mara. It cost’s about $ 1600 per night per person with a minimum of two sharing so rather to much us ..

Soon after the newspapers were jumping about Trumps introduction of global tariffs and the US Stock Market tsking a deep dive so either Mr Trump has screwed up of part of a master plan to drop interest rates, time will tell.

Ah well time for bed
