21st June CASTELO BRANCO

Mid summer’s day; and the weather forecast for the next few days is 25° (Fri), 29° (Sat), 34° (Sun), and 38° (Mon) !!! So over the weekend we’re hoping to get our plunge pool (sorry, water tank) cleaned out.

Well I’ve had a very lazy day sitting in an olive grove painting;
Mark & Glen's Olive Grove in watercolour & pastels
Occasionally I would wander over to the workers to check that their health and safety was up to scratch.
The work went smoothly today; they got another joist into place. Before we left Brett helped them position the frames and a joist, so that Mark and Glen can hoist the third into position tomorrow. I don’t know how they would have managed if they hadn’t got Brett to help them, there’s no way the two of them could lift a joist between them. The last joist is going to be difficult as the A frames will need to straddle their boundary wall and will obstruct the track, which means that if any vehicles come along they won’t be able to get past.
