T is for Tuesday

Thank you so much for all who came for a visit and lovely comments.

This last week we haven’t been doing so much work around the villa, neither of us felt like doing much although this morning, after our walk, I've been doing a little grouting in the shower room, I've nipped up here while it's drying before going back to clean it up.

Friday and Saturday last week we decided to give the seafront a miss as the car parks were closed due to a Triathlon, hard to have a walk with all that going on so we went to one of the other beaches just down the coast. It’s a quiet little place and we usually go there in the summer months for our walk as it doesn’t get so manic when the holidaymakers arrive.

We went to a favourite restaurant of ours called Las Redes, it’s right on the beach so it has lovely views, as you can see.

We started with a mixed salad, that's always part of a Menu Del Dia, obviously we had started before I remembered to take the photo, also the drink for this week is Cerveza Sin Alcohol, for the first course I had a cold Tomatoe soup, apparently it was a garlic version, very nice, Steve had chicken wings, forgot to take a photo!!

 The second course I had chicken in bread crumbs and Steve had Anchovies, too picky for me, especially with the heads still on but he said they were delicious.
My Postre was flan, Steve had rice pudding but the Spanish serve it cold, he asked the waiter if he could warm it up which he did, he said it was nice but very sweet with a lot of cinnamon in it.

 We had our coffee at this restaurant at the other end of the beach, La Oasis, we sometimes have Tapas here in summer if we don't fancy a large meal in the heat.

They have lovely outside spaces behind the white wall and a massive outdoor dining area too.





I still have my scrapbook pages open to do Halloween from last year and it's also my Birthday so I'm hoping to do a double page, I haven't been in the mood yet so it's still sat there on my desk.

I've also made a card for a challenge to double emboss, first with a embossing folder and then to wipe embossing ink over the raised area and use embossing powder, I decided to use enamel ink instead which didn't work as well so after adding gilding wax to make up for the lack of embossing ink sticking, I went over it with a wet wipe to get some off as I over did it, I ended up with this piece, I'm quite pleased with it in the end!!



Well I'd better end there and go back to finish cleaning the shower room, hope you all have a great week.
