What a day - the microwave at fisio has burned my shoulder, I'm allergic to both the post op cream and the dressing plaster - so shoulder is bright red and stinging, needless to say Paco wasn't at fisio today!! The bus back was full so had to wobble about standing, and the blasted washing machine won't work (of course it's full!!) and there's no way I'm gonna do all that by hand. Running out of food as I still am not allowed to drive. Think I'll call it a day - c u 2moro!

Washing machine is beggared - burned out, no money for a while to replace it. Have jsut spent an hour handwashing - throw over the dollytub please!!!

The jacarandas were in blossom... religous organisations were parading for Corpus Christi, which is a national holiday in Portugal, hence the holy man with the beard... the other two are the Oporto riverfront and Santa Clara church, which is completely covered inside with wood carving, just stunning.

just an average-to-biggish Panasonic Lumix with a big zoom (though it's actually only about an inch long)... and I had to make the photos smaller to get them on tinypic. The church is amazing, isn't it? There is another one like it in Oporto that gets better write-ups in the guidebooks, but actually it has less carving and I didn't like it so much. It does have a carving about a foot high of some martyred monks having their heads cut off, which is kind of gory.... I used to write occasional stories about my travels for a posh magazine in India (I met the editor once while I was travelling there) and they printed my photos really nicely, but it seems to have closed down or just vanished into limbo now... shame, it didn't pay much money or anything but it was nice seeing my pictures on good white paper. Still, now there's the internet the whole world can see them.

Shaney, the thunder in these parts started the minute I had cut up some fruit to go into my sangria. Thought of microwaving my slippers and having Ovaltine instead. Stupid weather.

[Robinia]

mmm, see you've all been heartbroken without me <sobs>
got some puta probs so I shall be very minimal for a while...

great pics jno have saved the church as my desktop...imagine the jigsaw that would make.

as you were...behave yourselves.
