Busy two weeks


We have a busy time ahead of us. Apart from the normal routine stuff like shopping, lazing in the sun, a bit of gardening, a dip in the pool and keeping up this diary I've now got a bike ride to fit in each day.

Just to add to that; next Tuesday we go to Caravaca de la Cruz to the horse and wine fair. That is an early start because the coach picks us up at 9:00am at La Siesta. Then there is the May fair at Torrevieja to fit in. That is where they set up bars in the fairground and people go in costume to eat, drink and dance the flamenca until the early hours of the morning. Next weekend is the fiesta for the Holy Cross neighbourhood. an afternoon of wine at 50c for a large glass and free paella. Finally it is the fiesta for San Isidro up at the Pedrera. More free paella but this time the wine and beer are free as well.

We could always try and fit the Olympics in as well. Oh yes and I nearly forgot Pam's darts matches which she has to fit in. Her partner is in England at the moment so she has a backlog of matches to fit in.

Now I don't expect a flood of sympathy, just an appreciation that life can be tough even in retirement.
