Didn't have time to make it onto the morning post this morning as we had an early appointment at the Accountants in CalaD'or to do our annual tax return - deep joy!! Well - at least it's done for another year. Then had to sort out some car hire arrangements, and pick up our Escritura (House Deeds) fron the Gestoria. The weather both here and in CalaD'or was hot, and humid this morning, but we stopped for a coffee in Porto Petro, which is only five minutes drive from CalaD'or, and it was quite overcast - the holidaymakers there were not looking quite so chipper as the ones we saw milling around CalaD'or!! By the time we got home, I was glad to get my clothes off and be back in a sarong and knickers again! The pool temperature is now back in the mid 20's, and the heat haze of summer has reappeared over the distant mountains. I have a feeling there will be "no turning back" for the next few months. It seems to have come around again very quickly.
Went on to the cerámica on the way home, to price the ceramic stars I wanted to buy from the gallery in Santanyi last week, but the prices there had rocketed into the realms of madness, so I didn't get any. They were considerably less in the cerámica nearer home, so I bought several and OH is going to put those up for me over the next day or two. I want them for a boring bit of wall on the side of the pool pump house , which you pass on the way to the little courtyard outside the summer kitchen. I could spend a fortune in that cerámica - everything is handmade and painted, and absolutely stunning. CalaD'or on the other hand is just full of production line tourist tat, some of it actually quite obscene. They must sell it I suppose, otherwise it wouldn't be there. Such a shame the majority of holidaymakers don't see the sort of stuff I was admiring this morning, but then few of them come to the small country towns and villages as they don't want to stray far from the beaches.
Easy evening for me tonight, as OH has asked for pizza for supper, so shall just have a baked sweet potato and some tuna, before settling down to Britain's got Talent. After the first one, we simply couldn't stand all the advertising breaks, so we have been recording them and watching them a night behind as it were. We thought Wednesday night's show was the best so far, after an absolute dire offering on I think, it was Tuesdays. Hope everyone has had a good day.
Good Afternoon Girl Fridays!!
