Oh!  There's an envelope inside!!!

 OH!!!  I wonder what these spell....??

 Then it was nearly time to go visit Andrea's parents.  We'd ordered a taxi because the weather was crap, so a few minutes before it was due, we went outside to wait for it.

 And five minutes later, we arrived here at their block of flats!!!

 We had some more champagne (Andrea got too drunk to operate the camera!!) and opened some more presents (we'll show you those later!) and then we sat down to lunch!  It was YUMTASTIC!!

 Several hours later, we decided to walk home - mainly to walk off all the food but it also wasn't raining either!

 We decided to go through the park.....

 And we left a weathergram next to those flowers.  The bench was for somebody's Daddy.

 We left another weathergram on a gate.

 ......and another one on a bus stop timetable!!!

 There's the Christmas Tree at Palmeira Square!

 It's pretty!!!

 Then we stopped at lots of bus stops to leave loads of weathergrams out!!

 We saw another tree as well!!

 And here we are almost home.....

 There's the sea there...... looks a bit rough and choppy today....

 And the last weathergram left out!

when we got home, Andrea got out one of her presents - a big green tin of one of Horrids coffees! - and decided to have some as an afternoon treat!  

We'll show you the rest of her presents tomorrow!!!

What did you get?
