Moorish Farmhouse, Orgiva, Spain
I am now such a regular at the local bakery that the lady who serves me baquettes and pastries each morning saw fit to make sure that I knew that they were closed tomorrow ("for a rest" as their sign says). Our well-being strategy for serving pastries is to cut them into four pieces each and then people only have a quarter of one rather than a whole one. Linda is concerned in case people go home having gained weight during the week. However apparently some of our guests have their own emergency supplies of chocolate and crisps!
Chris left today after her short break, returning to Malaga for a friend's birthday party. She seems very happy with her stay with us, especially the help we were able to give her with her photography. We are trying to work out how best to include our guests comments into our website. Like many businesses of our kind, the comments of our customers will probably be the best marketing we can have.
We are trying to get a little video footage of our exercise classes this week, so a few minutes were shot tonight in the courtyard. This is a really terrific venue for both the yoga in the morning (as the sun rises over the mountains) and the pilates in the late afternoon as the house provides a bit of shade from the heat. Several locals also attended tonight's class so 6/7 participants in all.

Over dinner tonight the conversation turned briefly to the status of the capybara, a large rodent that lives in the rivers of South America and which was, briefly, re-classified as a fish by the Catholic church so it could be eaten on Fridays. For some reason, there was considerable scepticism about this story from everyone at the table. So for probably the only time ever, our blog now features a picture of a capybara
