Visitors gone all quiet

This past week has seen my daughter Sarah and her partner Cameron come and go. Love having them here as they are so much fun and I get to go and do things I don't do on my own.

Made the first annual venture onto the beach and into the sea, it was so refreshing as the temperatures have been in the high 30's this past week. Getting to the sea was a little difficult as the sand was so hot and the boards the town hall lay down on the sand have over the years become shorter and shorter.

The second visit to the beach the sea was too rough for me to venture into so it was just a paddle to cool my feet. 

The following day we decided to give the beach a miss and went inland to a hostel I know where we could swim and have lunch. We ordered a seafood paella and I must say not being a great lover of rice I thoroughly enjoyed it. Only six other people round the pool so it was bliss, no children dive bombing or screaming. 

Obviously while they are here we eat out sometimes so have had a few tapas lunches and evening meals. I love eating out occasionally something I don't very often do. We had a fabulous meal at our local Brazilian restaurant, all of us had 'rodizio' I gave up long before Cameron and Sarah, Cameron was the winner and carried on to the end. 

Cameron is also a good bbq chef and cooked sirloin steak to perfection one night and another night chilli marinaded chickens legs. Must say Sarah is a good sous chef as she kept telling Cameron and I.

I did notice that while they were here one of my cats had the sulks. always sitting with her back to me but now she has become the same old QC again. 



So now it is back to normal whatever that is living in Spain. All the washing done and put away, bedroom cleaned and V re-installed.

Hope this coming week isn't quite so hot and humid but it's only a hope somehow I don't think so.

About time I started looking to make my Christmas cards perhaps that will cool me down.
