Thursday September 9th
We went around Vejer for an hour or so last night and had a one drink in a bar but we were so tired we just wanted to get home and get some sleep. We were looking forward to catching up on the news but after watching TV for about 5 mins we were dozing off and ended up going to bed before 10pm.

The place is still quite busy with holiday makers; lots of street life with tables and chairs outside all the bars and restaurants. It is very hot, I went to hang out the first load of washing on the roof terrace and the bottom of my bare feet were burning, I had to come inside and grab shoes. I managed to do one little water colour painting sitting under the canopy on the roof this afternoon. Looking out to the coast Africa looks very clear today, the marismas still look water logged despite the heat. The sky is a brilliant blue and not a cloud in sight. The rice fields are brilliant green at the moment.

All good here, hope all is well where you are, V x

Did my “village boy” stuff first thing to get breakfast things. Disappointed to find that Juan el Frutero was on holiday til 31 Sep.

The first person we bumped into on our first daylight walk around the town was Manolo. So we’re invited over there to see Manolito and Maku!

Had a siesta this afternoon and would have slept clock ‘round had Val not woken me. Now having our postres at Pasteleria Galvan so we can check emails. B x
