We are slowly getting used to Spains scheduling. Sunday and Monday most places closed, and every other day shops open 10-2, then close and may open at 5pm.
Despite this I manage to find an open bakery and buy pan o raisin that are bigger than my face and delicious! We also found a cafe blatantly aimed at english and while munching on a jacket potato I made full use of the free wifi to feed my audible podcast addiction – I’m loving the dark gothic stories from the Homeless Bodies series.
The cafe also do a full xmas roast but no vegan version…such a shame as I miss xmas pudding, though Mark had his first mince pie 😋 As of yet we have no clue where we will end up on xmas day.
Then came the usual sunday chores – van deep clean and laundry, some xmas/birthday wrapping (dogs only this year, but still spoilt lol). I’d bought a chameleon toy for Ernests boxing day birthday but Mabel has spotted it, so he is going to have to share 🤣
My highlight was a long run with Ernest. He is an absolute nightmare to start with, getting distracted by other dogs and bush smells, but finally got into a rhythm. That was until on our way back he spotted 3 hares and bolted, snapping the loop chains on the waist belt and jerking my back. I’ve no idea how I held on to him, but fortunately he soon gave up and we carried on.
Meanwhile Mark had a lovely walk in the dunes with Jasper and Ernest, plus he saw flamingos!
Tonight I’m feeling a well earnt hot chocolate and board games. Mabel and Jasper are snoring away and the puppy is still snuffling around…evidently didn’t tire him out…what have we created!
