T is for Tuesday

Happy Tuesday, not sure where the last week went to, my Dad always told me time passes quickly as you get older!!

We’ve not been walking as much as normal as Steve has a bad back, we think he did it cleaning the grouting off the wall outside, he needs two new knees, eventually, so hasn’t been able to kneel for probably 25 years so anything low he either has to sit on a low stool or actually lay on the floor, so he sat on our old caravan step while he worked and obviously was bent over for too long, anyway because of this our usual Monday mornings walk along the seafront, coffee, a visit to the Lotteria to collect our winnings, usually Zilch and a walk back and breakfast was curtailed yesterday, we had to skip the walking and go straight to our coffee place for breakfast. the girl knows us and said the normal, “Dos cafe con leche?” Steve said yes but tomatoes on toast too, she said, really, are you feeling well and felt his forehead, LOL, good job we know her!

The photos are as they arrived at the table and then with tomatoes on the toast and a little pepper.
All for €5.70, our usual place is only four euros but the coffee is half the size! The bread is called Pan Vienna, a soft roll but slightly toasted. 

I should have taken a photo of last Fridays breakfast as our normal place was closed for some unknown reason so we went to the bakery next door, when the lady bought out the coffees she also gave us two handmade chocolates, I saved mine until I had eaten breakfast, unfortunately I had to eat both as Steve didn't want his, they were very rich but heavenly.


This week I’ve been joining in the scrap lift challenge on Splitcoaststampers, I’ve finished two pages, I’m using a photo album I bought years ago for joeys photos, he’s now ten so I’ve had it quite long enough, anyway I’m using that for our youngest GS.
I started trying to do one for every month from when he was born with the idea to finish it at his first birthday but we were away too much to keep it up and now he’s nearly three so now I’m just doing our holidays in England with him and his holidays over here, he is arriving a week on Friday so I will be taking plenty of new photos for a new page in the album I’m sure.

My using of stash is going well, I’ve used so many pieces of paper and card, I can’t believe it, not sure I will ever use it all in my lifetime but middle GS, 6,  is coming over in July and he’s informed us that’s he’s an extreme mixed media artist! LOL. He loves his craft lessons in after school classes so I’m sure we will make a dent in my supplies and he really loves to go up to my “secret room” to see what he needs! Watch this space!

This building is on our seafront, it's a bit of a wreck which is a shame as it  was once the holiday home of a rich family, the owner apparently built aerodromes in Spain and France.
The front as seen in the photo was used by the family and the back part was for the servants.
You can see a small portion of garden where the two buildings are separated in the photo below.

We heard that it had been sold but nothing has happened so we’re not sure it was true, in summer it seems people come to stay, not sure how as most of the windows are boarded up! It’s right on the seafront so it would make a lovely home for someone with bucket loads of cash! We call it the Casino but not sure why as it’s never been one! Funnily enough the seafront bends at that point and it’s usually quite cool at that point until you pass and then it’s warm again, sounds a bit spooky but it’s quite strange.

I'm sure many of you have more delightful food on show so until next week, take care.
