The Christmas ‘do’ last night turned out very different from what we were expecting. There were one hundred and fifty people sat at four enormous long tables and the evening was a ‘variety show with supper’. It was very good with entertainers from the Mojacar Playa giving their services free of charge in aid of the APSA (Animal Protection Society Albox). The show ran from about nine o’clock through till midnight and ended with some Christmas songs. By the end of the show everyone had pushed away their chairs and was dancing, in the small amount of available floor space, to the music and songs. The atmosphere was brilliant with every one determined to have a good night. Our group of friends took up twelve of the seats at one table and we pooled money to pay for the drinks. In all the whole evening, including all drinks, cost €15 each (£10), pretty good value we thought.
Even better value was our game of tennis this morning. I played with three women (See, I’ve arrived in heaven at last) Anne, Mags & Elayne. We played for two hours. It was cold for a start off but the sun was shining and we all got warmed up quickly. The courts are a very acceptable standard in nice surroundings. For the four of us for two hours it was just €5 (£3.30), that’s even cheaper than playing on Friday evenings at Pool at £10 each per year. It was really good to have a game again and we are all determined to play at eleven o’clock each Wednesday morning. We’ll have to call ourselves something like The Taberno & District Tennis club.
The pictures are of last night (well it’s hard to take pictures whilst playing tennis, but I’ll try next week).
More tango dancing tonight, we'll be as fit as butchers dogs if we keep this up much longer.
