A bit late, but Su was too busy drinking heavily to post yesterday, so...
Friday: usual - tea at Jean's, bath, beer, telly, bed.
Saturday: Jayne is currently shopping with her mom, while I'm awaiting the arrival of my mate and his Fiancee (or fiance, I don't know which is which). I've known Andy since we started work at Lucas on the same day in 1977, and we've travelled all over Europe together, doing ridiculous things and sometimes getting away with it. His wife Jacqui passed away a few months before Jayne and I got married, and he met Linda on a singles foodie break. She's definitely got the measure of him and I couldn't be more pleased for them. Today is actually Andy's birthday, so we're going for a walk in Llangollen and a meal at the Corn Mill.
Sunday: slow breakfast and a short walk before Andy & Linda set off - they can't stay late as they're going back to Basingstoke.

Friday. Met up for lunch with friends. Drank enough wine to sink a battle ship… Saturday. Lazy day. Went to the local market. It’s been refurbed and it’s lovely to see it thriving. First time we were here it was practically derelict with just a few shops open. Lunch on the balcony then this evening we’re off out to the local bar for food and then look for a bit of entertainment Sunday. Huge market on Santa Cruz so we’ll catch a bus, stop at our usual tapas bar for lunch then wander around for three or four hours. San Juan festival in the evening. Lots of fireworks and live music.
Have a good one all

Friday - went to Hive Beach, a lovely little bay about 1/2hr from me, with my lady friends (I don’t know why that made me laugh). It was a lovely day Saturday - Lazy day really, into town for a wander, had a little lunch over a footie match, walked home, kills me every time, for more footie. Pack up my work station (2 monitors, laptop, keyboard & docking station) because from Monday I working on a ward. People at last. Sunday - we’re off to Poole to meet up with my Aunty & Uncle from Bristol, my cousin from Bolder, in the new forest. We’re all off to Brown Sea Island, one of the 8 islands in Poole Harbour, Baden Powell used it for his dib dib dobbing, it’s now a lovely bird sanctuary.
Have a good one all xxx

I am a bit under the weather at the moment so am confined to barracks twiddling my thumbs.
Friday...Just had bread and Charcuterie for tea.
Saturday...We had Roast Chicken that we should have had on Friday. We are not lovers of Roast dinners so we do not have them very often, but when we do we really do enjoy it. We visited the Arabic Supermarket in Albi on Wednesday and their butchery department is exceptional. It does not bother us that it is Halal, and they are lovely people that run it.
Sunday...Chrissie is making stock from the Chicken carcass for a Chicken and Sweetcorn Chowder for in the week. Its super comforting with loads of crusty bread. And she is also making a quiche for in the week too. The Supermarket had Fresh Coriander so we bought a huge bunch, its rare that we can get it so I am cooking a curry with it.
So its Dhania Chicken which translates to Coriander Chicken for tea with steamed or Fried Rice. Not sure which.
Its great to see that the Mulvey Family are their usual active selves. I hope that the rest of you have good weekends too.

I am feeling much, much better thank you Karoline. I was allowed out onto the "Parade Ground" yesterday and did a bit of weeding and sowed a row of French beans.
