A day of rest . . .

Friday April 25th 2008

Moorish Farmhouse, Orgiva, Spain

So both of us have had a really tiring few days and so has very few plans for today other than get a good amount of rest and get ready for 42 days of work in a row!

So lots of unpacking, sorting out boxes (which were not really packed in a very user friendly way, with all sorts of stuff all over the place). Linda managed an exercise video this morning to get her going again.

It turned out that today would be the hottest day of the year so far with the temperature moving into the low 30s. As so often happens in such circumstances, I stayed outside a little too long and have a slight pink hue as a result. So easy to overdo it slightly when it feels so nice to be out. 30 minutes less and it would have been fine

So a nice bit of reading this afternoon and a few hours chilling out.

Late afternoon we finally made it out and got to the other side of Orgiva to a shop that sells local pottery. So we will be serving food on the new stuff we have acquired, which looks really lovely.

Back home and we manage to cook nothing more complex that a risotto - we have been cooking these for the last few months and they have become some of our favourite food. Tonight is a simple asparagus risotto. But from tomorrow we will be cooking much more complex dishes. I am actually really looking forward to this bit of the breaks.
