Spain week two, day six

Thursday May 8th 2008

Moorish Farmhouse, Orgiva, Spain

Yesterday's weather forecast for this area suggested that it was now going to be hot and dry until October. As a result, we actually had some rain this morning - a shower for a couple of hours and enough to require yoga to be indoors. But by lunchtime it had blown over and there was sunshine this afternoon again.

This afternoon we drove up into the Contraversia mountains hoping for some views down to the coast. But as we got to the top of the mountain pass, we hit a thick blanket of cloud and could barely see the end of the car's bonnet, let along the sea! So foiled by the weather again.

That said, it was warm enough late afternoon for Pilates to be outside in the courtyard as usual.

Tonight was the last evening meal I would have with this week's guests as I have to return to the UK for a yoga test on Saturday. Tonight we aimed for a slightly more delicate bit of cooking doing two risottos - asparagus and spring vegetable - both of which came out quite well we thought. This week's guests have been a lot of fun.
