SATURDAY 18th/ MAY 2019.
We had a nice long lie in this morning
after a week of early starts, we were only awoken by the gas-bottle delivery
man blowing his horn! After freshening up, as usual, on a Saturday morning,
Brenda was on the breakfast rota, so I had her famous ‘ Campo Poached Eggs on
Toast ‘ – Scrambled on brown for Brenda, with mugs of strong/hot ‘PG’ Tips Tea,
to start the weekend in the right direction!

The sun had broken through earlier and as
there is still a stiff ‘ Poinente’ breeze blowing down off the mountains behind
the village, the sky was bright blue with a few patchy clouds, it’s ‘Fresh’ in
the shade – warm & sunny on the sunny side of the street, by lunchtime it
will be 23 degs+ - tomorrow is the same, next week is now looking dry, warm
& sunny, with more patchy clouds at times, as the breeze drops it going a little
warmer, by Wednesday up to 27 degs+ - when we will be out & about with our
dear friend ‘ Joyce Baby’ – the rest of the week and over next weekend is
staying the same, hovering in the high 20s – overnight down to 13/14 degs, watch
this space.
