For a Portuguese restaurant, very unusual.

That's the fig tree gone

It was a huge tree and we didn't get many figs, as the blue jays got most of them.

Jose Felipe came up this afternoon, took him less than 3 minutes and it was gone

On Saturday we took Eliza to a playground in the next village. It's behind the local social club. Whilst I was sitting in the car park a white hatchback pulled up with the window down. It parked out of sight of the main road next to a skip. Ten minutes later a lad walked through the car park. Black track suit bottoms, white t-shirt, skinny and wearing a woolly hat on a warm day. He goes up to the car, hands something through the open window to the driver, driver passes him something which he slips into his pocket.
Drugs deal in broad daylight.

There are a couple of Cop shows on the minor channels, plenty of drugs busts when cars are stopped. There are bags of wraps of Class A and C drugs yet all the drivers / passengers get is a caution and maybe a small fine.

Hence the deals in broad daylight!

Similar to Saundra. A few years ago there was a neighbour....

A motorbike would come and park, engine running, on the roundabout just below my window. The neighbour would arrive and they would do fist bumps and the cross-handshake. It was obvious what was going on.

The police did not seem interested even though one neighbour with small children reported the bike number plate.

Oh well that's a nice surprise! Mick's cousin, who came to see D last week, has offered us the use of their holiday bungalow down in Littlehampton! We're going for a week in early September
