Up to date but for how long?

27.6.18: Oh, for a bit of breeze
Apart from a coffee at the salon du thé, nothing of interest to report. Yep, there are days like that.
Weather:
32° hot and sunny
 

26.6.18: Friends and Neighbours
Had an early coffee with Nicole in an effort to avoid two women who chatter and chortle loudly about nothing of interest.
Later on I met up with David, Laura and Martine to go cava buying over the border before the traffic becomes unbearable with the onslaught of summer tourists. Had lunch at our old tried and tested favourite "La Plaça" and it didn't disappoint. http://spahotelgarriguella.com/en/
Came home with enough time to make something for this evening's neighbourhood get together. The theme was "by the seaside". Grilled sardines, gambas and marine decoration gave the evening a festive spirit. There were lots of stripey teeshirts and my "handbag" was original .... a bucket and spade in which to carry my bits and pieces. As well as the old faithfuls, new people came; it was a real pleasure to see the young family that are renovating a house in the street and a young woman who's just moved into the square. New blood is always welcome.
Weather:
30° sun and blue skies

25.6.18: Tea for Two
Had a break from all the routine stuff when Florence, who I haven't seen for ages came round for tea. Made a date to go to Perpignan next week to see the new Raoul Dufy exhibition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raoul_Dufy
It will be a double pleasure as it was Christian who introduced me to his work when we visited the Malraux museum in Le Havre.
Weather:
31° sun and blue sky
