FRIDAY 31 ST/ JULY 2015.
We were up early this morning and after a quick breakfast we shot down to Sabinillas for our weekly shopping; the Bank first and then the 'English Bookshop' for the weekly papers, our main shop was not big this week and Mercadona was not so busy,next we picked up the fresh flowers and a plant from the local market down on the front before calling into 'Super Sol' for some English essentials.
As we arrived home 'Chispa' was waiting for us, we then unpacked and sorted ourselves out, we grabbed quick showers and got ready to pick Den & Josie up at 1-00 pm; by then it was hot and as the day went on it got hotter - 38 degs with even more to come over the weekend.
The drive along the coast road to Sotogrande is always spectacular as the Mediterranean sparkled and Gibraltar came into view with Africa in the background; the Marina at this time of the year is at its finest, as you can see we parked the " Aston Martin" in front of our White "Sunseeker" - See below;
As usual the " KE Bar" was very busy & we had to wait for a nice table sat in the shade in front of the Marina; our drinks arrived and we then selected from the large Tapas selection on show, to start the folks had a Prawn & Crab Salad while I had the Russian Salad, Josie then had a Greek Salad,Den a Caeser Salad,Brenda had the large local fresh caught Gambas and I had my favourite Chicken Curry & Chicken in a creamy Peppercorn sauce - with frits! See above.
When we got home it was time for a 'Siesta' - just right for this time of the year! The workmen on the site finish early and go home for one! The have started on the brick work on the front of the building and so the windows are starting to appear; Watch this space.
We are having a nice relaxing evening and then we are going out later for a nice cool drink up at 'Bar Castillo' taking in the sights & sounds of the village as the locals and especially the children come out to play!
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
