My Holiday Companion

My Mama! We got up this morning and after we were ready we stolled/hiked up town. Mum has decided the hill way is the best; ie, we get the worst bit over with first! It is good, and it does get easier, and you certainly feel your thighs working. It's the most exercise my legs have seen for a while!

Normally we stop and find a little place to have tapas, but Mum had discovered a little cafe which was lovely, and very cheap! Cafe con leche, Tea, and two ensaimadas came to about 3 euros! Don't think we'd get the same in Starbucks somehow.

We had a lovely chat and then had a mooch about before we headed home. We put off our little bit of cleaning in favour of a bit of Interneting (painfully slow), a nap for me and sunning on the roof (Mum). Finally we did whizz the hoover around and mop the dusty floors, and we were pretty much good to go. We braved the local supermarket Carrefour in our little Fiat Punto, and did our food shop. It was nicer there than I remembered.

I think we went back up town and found a nice little bar, Volapie, where we sat and had our wine. It was very relaxing, especially with the sun going down. We went back home and got cosy in the living room, where I introduced my mum to 24 Hours in A & E- she rather enjoyed it! I think I shed a little tear when a Grandad was comforting his grandaughter who had been run over. I miss my Gramps....

This house is his, and he is still here somehow.
