TARIFA.

Sunday/Monday/Tuesday 24th/25th/26th May.

Sunday 24th

We all had a lie on Sunday morning and as we got up the sun came out and the skies cleared but still with a little Tarifa breeze! We had an afternoon brunch in the large kitchen,Roast Chicken with Stuffing and all the trimmings and of course Brenda’s four vegetables and my Roast Potatoes! In the evening we watched the documentaries on BBC2 about the South Pacific, as usual in these sorts of programme’s the BBC are the best; the Tiger Sharks catching the Albatross was just unblievable!

Monday 25th.

In the morning I shot across to the bank in Estepona and on the way back called into a few shops for the local papers,light bulbs,cigs( Brenda still! ) and finally the butchers( Chicken Breast ) When I got back to the villa Brenda jumped in the car and we went down to Tarifa to stock up for the week; Chris phoned and caught up with things and spoke to Joan,he told me that they have a Masseuse,Silvia,that they call on when Joan’s neck is giving her problems,so I phoned her and she is coming on Tuesday afternoon to see to Joan. In the evening we had Chicken Salad for supper with Baked Potato. We then all settled down to watch “ Britain’s Got Talent ” for the first time for us ! As we were watching the show the phone went and it turned out to be the Hospital in Marbella calling to make an appointment for me to have the ultra sound scan on my Prostrate next Tuesday morning,all very efficient and prompt!

Tuesday 26th.

This morning, as forecast, the weather is superb with clear blue skies, no wind and a very hot sun, by the afternoon it is now 28/29 degs.and rising and this is now the finest day of the year so far! We have just come back from lunch out on the beach just past Tarifa at Torre de la Pena; the pictures below show what a marvelous setting the beach restaurant has on the Atlantic coast with America the next stop! Joan had an Avocado Crab salad,Brenda had a very fresh Frito Misto,Spanish style and I had an Escalope Milanase with Frits,as a treat! We called into Tarifa on the way so as Joan could have the links on her watch shortened, we found a very helpful Jeweller the other day and he fixed it while we were there. Chris’s car, a VWV8, is very comfortable and easy to drive, as well as being very fast and we and Joan have had a lovely day out and she is now feeling a lot better and looking forward to her massage later!

PS; Silvia has just arrived and is laying on the hands as I am typing this ! Check out her web page at; http://www.tarifayoga.com/
