the boy went to faro to pick up his shot and had the 5th dose. this time, they let him bring 2 of them home, instead of one. his eosinophil count is still low, and the only symptoms he has these days are just sneezes and a clogged nose when waking up. hurray!

this week was spent with the parents, eating mom’s food and letting dad fix all the little things that need fixing around the house. when they left on friday, the summer season was officially closed for us. :)

we started watching brooklyn 99, after our friends’ recommended it. we’ve only watched a few episodes so far, but it reminds us of community in its silliness. and i finished reading all systems red, the first of the murderbot diaries. it was short and sweet, and i enjoyed the read. looking forward to getting my hands on the rest of the series.

i rode my bike to cacela while the boy ran all the way there and back. the path is a little dodgy with loose gravel, but the view is still the best this side of algarve!
