A good mornings work

[JanB]

Monitor off Will get the results in a week.

Onto Castro Verde, to a furniture shop not been in before, and have reserved our new bed Metal frame, with twiddly bits and hand painted top thingy. Very Portuguese, but not old fashioned, which is normal here. Chose the mattress and the base. Going back on Friday or Monday, as they will have a delivery of smaller wardrobes by then. The one's they had were much too big. Couldn't pay, as their multibank thing wasn't working, so will pay when we go back. Free delivery too

Gert lush toastie - it's enormous and scrummy coffee. Popped into the Chinese (of which there are many in Portugal) No, not a takeaway, a shop that sells everything. Bought a couple of hair clips then onto the next Chinese and bought a new hand bag

Back to Pingo and a pit-stop for a bica on the way back.

What made us both laugh, on the way to Aljustrel, the road sign at Castro Verde said "Aljustrel 21 kms".

Outside Aljustrel, on the way back, the road sign said "Castro Verde - 19kms"

It will do Di

They're very good, as we can't have it delivered yet, so they'll keep it there until we're ready.

We've learnt, over the years. If you see something you like, But it. Don't go back in a couple of days, because it's gone and you'll never see another one like it.

For the covers, I'll have to go down to the Algarve or Beja. There's nothing here, although I could get something made. We'll see.
