18th: Did a bit of Spanish with Anne, not that Seville had rubbed off on me. Juste, who's without Joséphine for a few days and Jean-Jacques came for lunch. Roast beef, fresh garden peas etc and Banana Malteser Cake for dessert. http://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipe/malteser-and-banana-cake-L6007.html It's easy to make, a bit different and tastes good too. Our guests finally left after 5pm so it was a good job that Christian didn't have the usual meeting at the Mairie this evening.
19th: The weather has been pretty on/off since we've been back but even though it was unsettled we had a day out. First a walk around Figueres and then lunch in Espinavessa at "La Rectoria". It's the first time that we'd been but weren't disappointed and the countryside around with its cornfields was pleasing on th eye. Fine food, classy dining
Made it home with half an hour to spare before Christian's first of two meetings. The second meeting was with the associations of the village to allocate space for the next year. The Président asked me to be there which was just as well since despite having prepared a list for her of our activities, she still amanged to get things wrong. The meeting finally finished at 9pm. Only two more months to go and I'll be done with it. Nice one!
20th: Committee meeting down at the park but we then moved back to our usual place indoors for the language exchange as it was too cold and damp outside but our beloved President knew best! There were only about a dozen of us for the exchange and even fewer for the drink at the bar. Terry and Anne joined us at the restarant for lunch by which time it was warm enough to be outside. Funny old weather at the moment. No day is the same.
