Spain - Week Two, Day three

Monday May 5th 2008

Moorish Farmhouse, Orgiva, Spain

Our yoga class participants are generally beginners this week, so everything is a little gentler and more slowly explained. But they are certainly very keen to give it a good go this week.

Brunch for the group on the outside terrace

Today is the first session of Eve's "Re-invent yourself" life coaching theme, which seemed to go very well. Linda is attending this theme, while I am using the time to do other work - today mainly processing the photos that Chris and I took in Pampaniera yesterday. Later in the afternoon, Chris and I spent some time running through the exposure compensation controls on her new digital SLR camera so she could try and take some pictures in tricky light around the villa.

It is paella night tonight and one of our group is keen to participate in some cooking, so we give a small cooking demo tonight. Our vegetarian paella is getting more and more elaborate with artichokes, water chestnuts, oranges, etc, added to the basic mix. We think this meal has about 12 portions of vegetables in it! We are joined by Nigel and Zoe again tonight which always makes for an enjoybale evening. And tonight the local goat herd is being moved up through the valley, so food is accompanied by the clanking of their bells as they move through.
