Fingers are crossed

I'm bidding on an auction, with the money going towards the bombeiros, mostly the Algarve, but Ourique is also helped when the fires get busy in the summer.

There are many lots and although they're all in the Algarve, I've bid, hopefully successfully, on a weird (well, Grumpy says it's weird ) wall art.

Six big pink flamingos, which will look lovely on the pool wall

I've seen off the opposition, so far but the auction goes on until 19 March

You sure it’s wall art and you’re not going to have a flock of real flamingoes in your pool, Jan!?

Crikey, I thought you were bidding on a plot of land when I read that!
I'm sure the flamingoes will be fine. Just make sure they're not Ostriches. Good luck!

We've got a flamingo lilo.

The neighbours peacocks are bad enough

[Kaz]

That's my birthday! I won't be getting flamingos though

Jan, they sound great for round the pool, I hope you win!

Ossie, can Ostriches swim? Or would you need to borrow Ally's lilo?
