Blessed is She

Eileen came round this afternoon to practice the carols for Wednesday, she on her accordion, and Mike on his cavaquinho. I went off to ferry Netty and Sierra to Luz to collect her pickup, and then we all had a relaxed supper together.

Prayer walked into Mourão at lunchtime; ended up eating lunch at Morango with a lovely American guy called Kevin (see Mike's Blip), and then showed him the Adega, where Sergio wouldn't let us pay for the tintinhos and special octopus petisco he put out. 

Filled with gratitude today:
- gorgeous light and colour as we walked
- meeting Kevin and immediately liking him
- the friendship of two wonderful women, Eileen and Netty

Mary's Voice: Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be fulfilled. (Luke 1:45) The two humble women believed, in contrast to the priest with position and power, who didn't and was struck dumb. Fourth Video
