    Alabaster totally appreciates your son's thorough brushout of his fur. He looks quite smart and lighter! 😄 V cool you can weed whack all that vegetation that hrew all over that wall. The stones must appreciate being freed of the clingy vines.

    Hello from Saskatchewan. I've watched all of your videos. I appreciate your yearning to return to your roots and special memories of a wonderful childhood. I especially enjoy when you talk about the life your grandparents led, where things had been, and how you participated in their lives. How blessed were you. I admire your work ethics and accomplishments and will continue to watch your progress. Did you deliberately learn the various skills (gardening, animal husbandry, cooking, etc) as you grew up, knowing that one day, your dream would become your life?

      Way longer than I like to admit , but that is the price I’m paying for using lumber that is local, keeps the community here working, was just cut and had quickly dried in the hot summer sun instead of getting the seasoned lumber that comes all the way from Sweden. Thanks for commenting. Cheers

    What a blessing your son was there to help when your back was so stiff. When we're incapacitated but there's pressing work that needs doing, there's nothing like family who can read what you need with few words. Did Alabaster get a summer fur trim? He looked less poofy. You didn't want a professional cork harvester to do your tree's 1st debarking? Good to see you moving around more fluidly towards the end of the vid. V informative content. Pretty how the chapel was all lit up for the festa. Thank you.

    • @Joaquim_Conde
      @Joaquim_Conde 11 дней назад

      Thank you, Alabaster got a good brushing. The first harvest of cork is not usable, I’m going to use it as firewood, also I’m not sure I’d find someone who’d come for just one tree. It was fun to do it and at least now I understand the process

    • @Joaquim_Conde
      @Joaquim_Conde 11 дней назад

      The container just arrived at port and is yet to be delivered. I used a company in Toronto who specializes in door to door service, and takes care of the legalities with the Portuguese consulate. The current cost for a 12 meter container is 8k CAD from Toronto to pretty much anywhere within an hour of Porto, plus transport to Toronto and insurance.

    Hi Joaquim, hope your back is better! A good thing you have your family with you to give you a hand. I am curious, your children dont speak Portuguese? Your walk thru the forest brought back sweet memories of my childhood when I walked hand in hand with my grandpa picking "amoras" and "pinhas" ..we used to crack them open for the pine nuts, plus the figs we had in our farm..OMG I used to get sick from eating so many of them. To this day I have a passion for figs. Such wonderful memories. As for the locals liking anything Spanish, it's actually they like anything Galician, which as you know Portugal was part of back 900 years ago. Tks for another vid and keep up the great work.

    I recognised the sore back posture and walk as soon as I opened the screen. The recommendation we had was to continue mobility and work, but gently, which i am sure you are familiar with. Having your friend and son with you will help both physically, and as a distraction from your discomfort. I hope you are better soon, Joaquim.

    Ouch! I felt that. You need your outside kitchen so you don't have to bend over to cook. Have someone stack some concrete blocks and put a stone slab on top to make your cook fire on. Is there a Massage therapist in the area? Place bashed up/bruised cabbage leaves on the afflicted area to reduce swelling and inflammation, this really works for arthritis too. Speedy healing to you!
