Quiet week
Well I have been on my own for a full week and how quiet it has been.No one asking what's for lunch, what's for dinner, what time will you be back.
In case you are wondering V has returned to the Czech Rep. to renew his documents and to see his family.
So how am I making the most of this time? Well, the first two days were for me, just to potter around and take stock. 
Then I haven't really been still since. 
Monday was our monthly church council meeting and from leaving home at 9.30am it was 2.00pm when I returned, goodness knows what we talk about that takes so long!

Tuesday I went to the post office to post my friends birthday card, never know how long post takes to reach the UK, but it isn't her birthday until the end of the month. We have been friends since our junior school days and both ended up marrying someone with the same surname! 
Having a cup of coffee in the 'plaza' it is surprising how many people pass through and talk to you. Must remember if I am in need of company this is the place to go especially in the 
morning. I stayed there longer than intended talking to Tony 
but so what I have nothing to go home for and Tony likewise I suspect.

Wednesday Two of our church members had a coffee morning and Bring & Buy sale at the home, beautiful views and a lovely warm, sunny morning. The event raised 413€ for church funds, we are a self funding church and we employ a full time priest although we belong to the Church of England and are part of the Diocese in Europe we receive no funding from them.

Beautiful views from the Parata

A fair bit of chatting going on

and delicious cakes

An enjoyable morning was had by all who attended.

Straight from there I went to the weekly 'Women on Wednesday' (WOW) meeting at the Loft. There was a few more ladies there this week and we will see an increase as the 'stay away from Spain in the summer' brigade return to make this their winter home. The WOW club are a group of woman who just get together and chat, exchange goods, etc. what monies we raise go to the Stepping Stones care centre to help buy food and drink for their weekly lunch meeting. So that day I didn't arrive back home until gone 4.00pm.

Thursday I thought a day at home but no Rev. Pauline rang and asked if I could meet her to sign some papers,(I am the church warden) so once again a trip out for coffee in the plaza. It's not a bad life here.

Friday at long last a day at home and what did I have to show for it at the end of the day - nothing. I did print the Owls (our weekly church newsletter) and send them to all on the mailing list. 

So that is my first week on my own, hopefully next week perhaps I can get some of the many jobs done that I have planned.
