We have been sunbathing today. Sorry to keep on about the weather, but, we had an overnight temperature of 5 degrees. We were reluctant to arise from our warm and cosy bed. My ears must have been showing because I can remember them being as cold as ice during the night (must tuck them in tonight). By lunch time we had done our essential bits and having returned to base where we ‘chilled out’ outside in our fold-away chairs. I removed my upper attire (no, there are no pictures because it would further upset the UK establishment) and sat in the glorious sunshine for about an hour (it must have been in the mid twenties).
We had a game of frizbee and two sets of boules (one win each from games of twenty one points).
Later we walked down to the southern extremities of our estate with the cats (they like going for walks with us, see pictures) and talked to the almond and olive trees down there whilst picking some more almonds. The husks of these almonds are black and look as though they should be discarded, however they are fine inside the husks and this is why our neighboroughing farmer is spending a lot of his time just now picking these last almonds off the trees and off the ground.
It is nearly half past six now and we have just been for a further ramble (without the cats) down the camino, with drinks in our hands and enjoyed watching yet another glorious sunset. The sky was red so if I remember the saying correctly ’Red sky at night, shepherds pie for dinner tomorrow’ or something like that.
Perhaps tomorrow we should get serious and do some real work like hovering or cleaning the windows and chopping more almond wood from our prunings. Anybody would think that we are only here to enjoy ourselves.
