The rain didn't come... Instead a major bushfire threatening lots of homes... When our car wouldn't have broken down a few hours before we wanted to leave on a trip to the #netherlands , we would drive there... An omen? #portugal #redsky #bushfire (at Forest Alqueidao)

45 degrees... And some coolness is on the way. #portugal #thunder #workinginparadise #notjustsawdust (at Forest Alqueidao)

Almost 40 degrees °C , should be #woodworking but thinking how nice cold #cactus juice could refresh... Nah.. don't own the right gloves. #coffee it is... . #portugal #workinginparadise #notmakingsawdust #notjustsawdust (at Forest Alqueidao)

A sensible use for a plastic #pushstick ... Repairing a broken door handle on the #shop-van #notmakingsawdust #portugal #backonline (at Not Just Sawdust Workshop)

No internet for 9 days at the Lonesome Hill.. working on the shop-van... Replacing broken plastic with old fashioned quality of hardwood...#notjustsawdust #meo #fail forced to drink #coffee to have internet access...#portugal (at Pastelaria , Padaria Rosa Do Zezere)

Since our provider isn't able to fix the internet within 5 days... More Time to spend on painting the van... No knowledge of what's going on in the world outside Alqueidao. #portugal #notmakingsawdust #coffee on terras with free #wifi (at Not Just Sawdust Workshop)

#notmakingsawdust this week.. the mint-green van, our shop van since 1999 is technically repaired up to almost new. Now it's time to get rid of the rust.. it's not going to stay #mint-green but well let's say we're inspired by #portuguese colours.. #notjustsawdust #workinginparadise (at Not Just Sawdust Workshop)
