Just look at that silly girl in the above picture. I mean, of course, the one in the middle, the one with her mouth open and her teeth showing, thinking she's something special. How embarrassing for us all. Tracie and Eric arrived last night, for their fifth stay here, and what a pleasure it is to see them again, second time this year! It's a wonder they come back at all, knowing they have to out up with Ella and her riduculous coquettish carryings on.
Once more fabulous smells have been emerging from the kitchen at Cortijo Opazo as the tall one know as William prepares one his banquet meals. Last night Eric and Tracie enjoyed a dinner of: a tapas of creamed courgette and parmesan with a glass of ice cold fino; a starter of homemade gazpacho with tomatoes from the garden; a maincourse of chicken cooked with hazelnuts, cinamon and honey, accompanied by carrots and green beans, from the garden, of course; and a dessert of raspberry ice cream with a fresh fruit coolie. Yum.
Ella and I, we had dog chunks in gravy with a side dish of complete meal biscuits - again!
Last day of August and in Spain the big return to work is underway. Madrileños are leaving Andalucia in their thousands to start back at work on Septmber 1st. Holidays over, no more fiestas until, well, the first week in October. Then there's the end of October, and of course November 1st. Not forgetting the two holidays in the first week of December until we arrive at the long celebration of Christmas, starting on December 24th and finishing Jaunary 6th. I think, then, we can take a break from holidays and squeeze in a little work.
Yours, hanging up my swimming trunks,
Fergus
