Developing the Noah syndrome

The rain it raineth every day ... I've been back in Porto (Leca da Palmeira) now for 30 days and I think it quite possible that it has rained every one of them.
The Noah syndrome ... but he had 40 days to endure...
Happily, the sun does come through and as I deeply appreciate, we get the most stupendous cloudy sunsets; so can't complain.
But oh Primavera, where are you hiding ?
The daffodils are out in my back garden in Amsterdam.
Here we make a hot-water bottle to warm up the bed (well, of course, the boat is a trifle damp and chill!).
But my rheumatism is behaving and of course, there is the excellent Pilates right here in the Sports Centre beside the marina. Not too many stiff muscles.
And we are supplied with truly excellent restaurants, complete with vinho verde... here we are enjoying our Sunday lunch.

The sea in the background and delicious pasta in the foreground. 
There are moments of great contentment. Out of the storm...
