The whole Portuguese experience is proving to be very challenging ……. and it’s got nothing to do with dust, flying or volcanoes.
It’s the bane of my life – Papersurfer Junior.
Yesterday, to keep us out of trouble, we were sent out to take photographs and the results were judged by Tango and Penfold.
P Jnr came first with this picture of a bee.

I was going to take a picture of a bee as well but after taking this piccy Junior made it fly away and hide and THERE WERE NO OTHER BEES IN PORTUGAL!
I did manage to get second place with a picture of this pylon.

Third place went to ……. you’ve guessed it – the bane ……. but I would just like to say that he was assisted by Lo, she is a terrible Goddess who suggested throwing a stone in the puddle to make the ripples.

Quite frankly I think it was a moral victory for me ………oh, and don’t mention the Scrabble tournament we had after lunch today …….. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

You weren’t playing the new rules then? I’m not keen on them either.
It’s almost impossible to beat 70s now, she managed to slip PPRSRFR into the game the other day, claiming that she’d ‘e-mayled’ HASBRO for confirmation that typos are indeed allowed now….
LOL GW ….of course my typos are now accepted … e mayling continually eventually ground them down and they sed that a new 70s dictionary will be out shortly ……. by the way I think I may send you a new game challenge
When I was young we could only use Latin …….
That doesn’t surprise me .. did you also write on slate too??
Slates? Looxury! When I was young we had to chip our thoughts onto stone blocks using our fingernails!
But you can’t tell the young people this, they just don’t believe you.
Stone blocks!!! …… we had to use tree bark using our teeth ……. which explains a lot about my remaining tooth ……..
Tree Bark? Oh, I see, you were on the poor side of the valley.
I think they’ve found some of his early work…

I love your pylon photo beneath the clouds. It’s so stark under the clouds. Do you ever sell these things?
I’ve never even thought about selling them ……. do feel free to steal though ………
What do they call the insulators that hold the wires on the pylons…besides insulators?
Electron-stoppers. Sort of like giant gobstoppers for rampaging electrics.
