Monday, house is strangely quiet today with no one around, Douglas is playing Golf and I am trying to sort out one of the spare rooms into some semblance of order. Unpacking boxes and pictures, putting things away or repacking at the moment. Got it all done plus mopped and cleaned again before Douglas got back, so a good days work, nice not to have anyone around for a change.
Tuesday, Christmas Eve, need to go to Vilamoura today to replenish my Morgans supplies, get some last minute bits and bobs and that's it. Cosy night in, in front of the fire. Raining on and off today and think some heavier rain will arrive during the night. Hoping everyone has a good Christmas Eve.
Wednesday, Merry Christmas everybody. We woke up this morning to water coming in the kitchen and also coming down the chimney, some heavy rain last night, so mop up job required, having done the clean up, spoke to all the family, skyped Katie with instructions on cooking her turkey dinner, it left us running late to get ready to go to Mick and Pauline's for Christmas Dinner. We arrived half an hour late, but all was good as Mick was running two hours late with the dinner, so no problem. Paulines brother and his wife had been staying with them so there was six of us for Dinner, and what a dinner, Mick goes all out and does really well, the food was gorgeous but so much of it, no room for anything else. A nice day spent there. Good food, a few drinks and a good few laughs. Thank you to everybody for our presents and cards, all were lovely and much appreciated and with the money we got am going to buy a coffee machine. We are also going to Ikea in Seville after New Year so will buy other bits and pieces there.
Thursday, Boxing day, Douglas and I had a Champagne breakfast and just relaxed all day, the weather had gone from rain to sun again and turned out really warm, so lovely to sit on the terrace, admire the view and do absolutely nothing. Amazing how quick the day goes when you actually do nothing.
Friday, back to normal, some cleaning, some unpacking and shopping, nothing exciting happening with the house as no builders on site, we are trying to tidy up the outside a bit, so have moved our log pile around to the end of the house, also moved some of the builders stuff into the garage, it sometimes seems like playing tools roulette, if only they could keep everything in one place and also keep it clean, the front garden is such a mess with sand, cement, broken tiles etc etc that we are just not sure what to do with it.
Saturday and Sunday - normal routine days with good weather and lots of sitting outside. As I have not posted any pictures over the past few weeks here are a collection of some that have been taken randomly.
