Good morning.....
It was nice here again yesterday. Blue skies and warm enough to sit outside for coffee......not quite bikini weather.....
The photos show the back of the cottage with the traditional Algarve chimneys which fascinate us and characterise even on very modern new build.

We also went to a traditional Portuguese restaurant for lunch. The food may not look fine dining but the flavour was.....and the price....lunch for two with wine, less than £20!. Nestled in a back street, we will be back.
( Apologies if you're vegetarian......)
So, I hope everyone's tests and appointments go well today. I'm sorry when I read just how many problems the after drugs cause. Having TNBC 10 years ago, there were no other treatments so apart from the neuropathy which was just an unlucky reaction on my part, I haven't got the experience to offer any advice but you have my thoughts ...for what they're worth.
Take care all. Today I have to try out the dishwasher, washing machine and oven. What fun when chores catch up with you?
