T is for Tuesday, already!!

 Another week of going through our photos, I did get distracted as I found a CD with photos from our time living in Germany, my husband was in the Army, it was lovely to look back, then I found a disc with family photos so as you can imagine I didn’t get much done, ha,ha, I’m still plodding on !

This week we had an Indian meal but we decided to try a different one, highly recommended by quite a few people, well not impressed! Funnily enough as we came out we bumped into a friend who was collecting a take away and he was raving about it, good job we all have different tastes.


Inside the restaurant, very clean, we chose to go early to avoid being there when or if it gets busy.


As you can see a good price and a few choices



Poppadoms and dips were extra, normally free while you have a look at  the menu, not sure why this has gone sideways, not sure how to change it on here!!!




Well just awful, dry and no sign of any veg in there!! 

Just tasted like breadcrumbs.




Lamb Rogan Josh, this was delicious, spicy but really tender, it did arrive in dishes but I had put it on my plate before I remembered to take the photo.

My DH had Fish curry, he said it was delicious.


Our drinks, empty,  I realised I hadn't shown them in the other photos!!

I don't think I will ever be employed as an official photographer do you! ha,ha




This was on the wall, it's very glittery made with material and gold threads, I used to do a similar thing in my Art Class for my exams, not so intricate but made with materials.



I bought a pair of slippers and they gave me this bag, free of charge which surprised me as they charge for plastic bags nowadays, I thought it was cute, ha,ha

Unfortunately I can’t wear the slippers as they started the pain in the ball of my foot off again!



Not much to report here, I’m waiting for another memory stick so until it arrives I have gone back to making my photo album, for our youngest son this time, I wanted to get both albums to the same point just in case this is as far as I manage to finish!!

Happy T Day dear Ladies, Stay safe!

T is for too much Noise

 The last week in my mind hasn’t been busy but the days seem to have gone with no spare time.  The weather is a lovely now, cool mornings but by ten am it’s warm enough to enjoy being in the sun unlike a few weeks ago where we dodged from one shady area to another.


Thursday morning started off cloudy and driving to the beach the sun was just peaking through, looked like something shining beams down through the clouds, beam me up scotty! Sorry, weird sense of humour but it just struck me as funny.

The sky on the horizon looked beautiful.


My husband bought me a memory stick to save all my photos on,  it’s 256GBs, plenty of memory, it’s so small I’m scared of losing it! at one end has the flash drive to plug into my new iPad, the connection is different to my other devices of course! the other end is to plug into my Pc, I also have a stick that goes from my iPhone to Pc,   I’ve downloaded all my photos from my iPad and iPhone on to my PC but with so many duplicates I’ve been going through them all before saving them, a bigger job than I thought!


My ticket to the T party,

I saw these mugs in the Ale-hop store, love the lids although close up they look plastic so I’m not sure what will happen with hot tea beneath .








This is a statue on the Paseo depicting the Fishermen, someone likes to have a joke!!







We had the National Jet Ski competition on our beach all over the weekend, not the place for a quiet breakfast, what with the thud, thud of the music and the revving up of the jet skis, even the Barman from the next restaurant said it was getting on his nerves listening to it all day but it was good for business apparently.


They were much bigger than the ones you or I would be nipping around on, we felt for the poor fish, I wonder how many were scared to death as at the far end you see fish swimming around near the waters edge.

They clean the beach most mornings but at this end it stays in ridges, it feels like builders sand, I hate to walk on it as it's not soft under your feet, this end was obviously a man made area.



All back to normal this morning, thankfully a peaceful breakfast and walk. 

Take Care,

 Good morning ladies, another week has gone, time to join the T party over at Elizabeth and Bluebeards,  the weeks seem to fly by and I often wonder when I look back what we actually did.

I finally managed to buy an iPad,   Last week they were still out of stock but we could order one and it would be sent to our post office, well after having two items go missing via our PO there is no way we are risking that and I want to trade my old iPad in so needed to be in-store, anyway at  lunchtime yesterday my husband rang the store and they had two, in purple, the colour I wanted, I was in my craft room so I quickly changed and we drove to Murcia, an hour each way but I managed to buy the last one.

Took an hour to download everything to my pad, set up the finger print ID etc so now I’m all set, just couldn’t  get it to recognise my finger print when we arrived home but then I realised that I just need to lay my finger on the button not press  ha,ha, luckily I can still sign in with my password.

I should get our five year old GS to show me as he deleted his minecraft app to make room for something else, when he reinstalled it he’d lost some pods or something ,  his cousin aged eight showed him how to fix it, honestly I was amazed he knew how to delete and reinstall an app! He was trying to do a deal with his dad when they rang Saturday as he has restricted time on his iPad and has to do  his reading etc before using it, makes me laugh as he held his hand out and said , is that a deal dad! He’s obviously a fast learner, ha,ha

Our  eldest  GS will be Thirteen in a couple of weeks so I decided to make a  number card, it didn’t quite work out as I’d planned so I had to make alterations, when I’d finished I felt it was too plain but being a boy and a teenager I’m not sure he will notice!  He’s growing fast and already 5’6” wearing size nine shoes, already two inches taller than I am! Hopefully we will see them all next year, he will most likely be taller than Grandad by then, his dad is 6’4” and his Mum is tall so we aren’t surprised he is getting tall. He’s already had to have new school trousers since starting back in August!


Our Second GS is 9 on November 2nd, I found the candles paper so thought I would buy some card to match it. I used my cricut to cut the numbers.

The last time I used my cricut is kept telling me to check the mat, it seems to have cured itself over the summer so worked perfectly, thankfully!


I’ve been busy changing the photos in the frames as the ones in the conservatory have faded and the ones in the villa are now out of date, took me ages to find some as many in the last year or so of the older two have them wearing masks, today I have to find five more for another frame, I like to make sure I have equal numbers of each, LOL 




My coffee this week is another from the cafes collection. A cute Melon.





Smile, Live, Dream




This morning I bought a memory stick so I can save all my photos and get them off my ipad and iphone as I have hundreds, that should keep me quiet for the rest of the week!!

Happy T Day Ladies, Keep Safe
