We broke 10 days of self-isolation to stock up at our Pingo Doce supermarket in Lagos today. In truth, it was a bit of a non-event.
There was a Q to get in (self-distancing), plus Qs at the butchers, the bread counter, the fish counter and the checkouts. But everything was fully stocked and all the folks were being really nice and helpful to each other. No panic buying in sight. Nobody coughing. Everyone well spaced. Quite pleasant if truth be told.
Another thing I did today was I trawled through the memory card on my camera, to free up some space. Below is one I'm not getting rid of. It is Gonçalo in March 2018 when he arrived at our house.
You can see on the LHS the travel cage we bought when we got him. It's obvious he fitted inside easily.
Two years on and he is now roughly the length (height) and weight that Madeleine was when she disappeared - about 1m long and he weighs 13kg. He does not fit in that travel cot anymore.
Try passing him through the window of 5A only if your back is made of steel. Try carrying him in the Tannerman crane position only if you have lost your marbles. If Smithman carried Lally from 5A to the Smithman sighting, then we are looking for a young and strong perpetrator.
Lally says WOOF from the Algarve.
