Not much to note today, apart from it's hot again, though there is a 50% chance of precipitation tomorrow so we may stay in and bake some bread. We also did a bit of shopping over at Lidl near Oliveira do Hospital (on N17) for staple provisions, like wine, wine, more wine, beer, beer, more beer, and some potatoes. Hmmm...think we overdid the food again!!
The Expat Portugal forum is a really useful resource for information on all sorts of subjects. One of the threads was re the best wines to buy for under 2 euros - see below link. So we have our list and we are religiously working our way down it, like we feel we should.

We bought some "tremocos" and were not entirely sure what they are, but Jon noticed them being sold on the markets etc. Apparently they are a snack item enjoyed with beer. They look like butter beans a bit, so we'll let you know how we get on.
