Markets and Mojitos

POSTCARD SCRIBBLES:

Ooooooh today's been a good day!

First off we went to the market and seeped up the sights and smells...

...THEN we went to the bakery, and bought a freshly baked chapata, 2 soft rolls for tomorrow's breaky :)

After that we went to the Alameda and listened to a band, drank some beers and snacked on the olives we'd bought earlier, saw some friends and then headed home where we prepared lunch: mixed-grain rice with baked fish and a salad.... yum! (Güini came out to see what was going on and beg a lettuce leaf)

And finally, tonight I tried my hand at my FIRST EVER MOJITO! And let me tell you (she says as she slurps with one hand and types with the other)... it's as good as it looks! hehe!

Later alagator!

A Rural Birthday

POSTCARD SCRIBBLES:

Morning!

So I'm finally FREE! Well, free of exams and reports anyway and now... oh joy of joys... a 4 day holiday! I think I'm speaking for all the teachers at our school when I say WE NEED IT! The exam period is all-consuming, and by the end of it all we're a wreck!

That said the whole thing was nicely broken up by the weekend we had in Vejer, and then last weekend we celebrated a friend's 40th Birthday by spending a weekend in a country house. Cold but beautiful, it was a wonderful weekend and fun was had by all :)
