16th-23rd December:
I don't know why but this week I've been out and about without my trusty camera so all the exciting things that we've been doing are without illustration. It's been pretty busy and the kilos are being laid down fast and furiously.
Wednesday: Lunch with Gaby and Robert à l'alscacienne then home before Joséphine, Kathy and Juste were around for an apéritif and to choose the photos of our very own flamanco dancers for the photo competition.
Thursday the language exchange followed by tapas at the bar, a carol concert in the church in the evening and an apéritif followed by a chocolate fondue chez Juste and Joséphine.
Friday, lunch out with Anne and Henry. Went to the hotel Duran in Figueres for lunch which was very good apart from a bit of "cheating" on the 18€ menu which said that a drink was included. The "drink" was in fact a bottle of water! We shouldn't have been surprised as at this rather staid retro establishment if you want the menu of the day you have to ask for it. When we were last there the waiter was about to put down two sorts of nibbles when we asked for the menu; quick as a flash, he whipped one away and just left the olives! They are definitely off the list for the future.
Saturday and the great day of the over 70's Christmas lunch. Funnily enough they were a much livlier lot than the over 65s but Christian thinks that that is all down to there being more alcohol bein involved. Anyway, we ate, drank and danced our way through the afternoon and then stayed on to help clean up. All part of the rich tapestry of life!
