Another tiring week in Nads! So much seems to be happening so quickly, when all i really want to do now is retreat to the beach with a cocktail and a good book. Ho hum - maybe next summer.
As i type my Dave is painting our other lounge/snug. This is where we'll put the TV and my office for now. This week he painted the old wooden floor upstairs. We had some great guys come and sand it to death so now it's lovely and smooth, but still very very old, so a lick of white eggshell has done it proud.
Also Victor has made us an amazing Kambala [iroko] staircase to match our front door. The handrails are up and i think this area will be our new bedroom for the foreseeable future as our bathroom is sort of full up of STUFF.
We also have our terrace cordoned off with new handrails, made by Mario and his crew from Foz do Arelho. They are the same colour as the window frames and will keep us from any Kamikaze actions we might feel on a late saturday night - just for laughs of course!
To top the week off, we've had a festa in honour of Our Lady. The pic below shows our local bishop trotting around the village under his sun canopy, followed by the majority of the village, well at least the God fearing ones.
Once again the music was booming and there's no sleep till well passed 3am! Now this goes on for 6 days people. However I did have a little outing at the weekend, which was a bit of a mistake. We had already started moving house and had one more night in our rental, i needed my asthma pump and realised it was moved. So i shuffled off around to get it and thought i'd make a detour via festa to see what was on. Well 4 hours later, i was danced out and stumbled home, full of wine and smiles. Until a few hours later of course when it was time to finish moving! x
