Slipping through our fingers

Looking remarkably like another Mrs Pepperpot, this is Maria, (well her hands anyway, more of her here and here washing her curtains in the rentador in the Port. I have been meaning to get them all catalogued, but this is one of the more modern looking ones. Until now, I've only seen the wet suits from the local dive shop rinsed and hanging there. Today was a bit more authentic.

With more catching up and determined relaxing to do with M, followed by coffee with her sister, we whiled away some good hours with talk of carpe diem, before getting the boys and I took them for a proper lunch as they were so hungry. We got back to the pool later on to find my lovely friend Mireille returned for her month on the island. When am I going to get my other things done? Summer is slipping through my soapy fingers.

Thanks you so much everybody for all your lovely comments on yesterday's blipday shot. You are too kind xxx
