SUNDAY 19TH MAY 2024

WEATHER

Hottest day of holiday so far – full sunshine with a few light clouds occasionally

DAILY NOTES

  • Today was special – it was Jane’s birthday.
  • The day was so hot that even Jane had to come out of the sun occasionally.
  • A better day for a lack of flies.
  • Lunch today was our favourite snack – bacon and egg baguette with trimmings and orange juice.
  • In the evening we went to Fernando’s sister’s restaurant called La Opera.
  • The meal was delicious. For me, I found the entire experience somewhat pretentious.
  • I started with a Salade La Opera – a fancy salad!
  • Jane started with a seafood crepe – fish paste pancake!
  • Jane’s main meal was prawns in a champagne sauce which, she described as, absolutely amazing! (easily impressed!)
  • For main meal, I had pork in a sauce. Delicious but sparing in quantity!
  • We completed the occasion with desserts (puddings to me!) and coffee. 
  • Back at the villa, we ended the evening with incense sticks burning and gin and tonics each.
