1. I know nothing of Prince Henry or his teeshirt. All there is to know is Madeira cake, madeira wine, and mountains and sea, of course. One day just merges into another and I am none the wiser.
2. They sell bananas and eucalyptus leaves as local produce and some speak a little English and talk of Tommy Cooper.
3. The language looks similar to Spanish but sounds like an Eastern European language.
4. Open House with your cold must have done some good. Are they allowed to smoke indoors or do they have to go outside.
5. The wind is cold again, but at least it is not raining. A few more climbs up to the top of the mountain and then it will be time to come home. A welcome thought, I feel.

1 Portuguese; a local dialect.
2 Prince Henry, son of the reigning king of Portugal, who set up a well-known (at the time) Maritime Centre. The Portuguese explorations along the coast of Africa were recorded and mapped. Captains learned their trade there. Prince Henry the Navigator.
3 It continues to rain here. April showers. Blue skies and fluffy white clouds followed by dark, rain-filled-and-discharging clouds.
