It’s been a while since I was able to join in T for Tuesday, at the moment we are looking after our youngest GS while his Mum is completing a course at the Uni to become a teacher but we are babysitting tonight so I thought I would get a post ready for Tuesday.
On our travels over here to the UK we stayed in the north of Spain Overnight before catching the ferry, we saw this beautiful double rainbow, actually it’s the first I’ve ever seen.
while we were watching from our balcony I spotted a man on the seafront also looking, he was dressed in a long black raincoat and black umbrella, I know this sounds totally mad but he looked the double of the Tim Holtz stamp, if you know the one I mean, it was quite spooky, unfortunately he didn’t show up in the photo, I was quite disappointed as I would love to have shown it to you all.
My food for this week, as you know from previous posts we are lovers of Tostado con Tomate, tomatoes on toast, so before catching the ferry we drove to the local supermarket to buy food for the journey, wine, Beer, Chorizo and olive oil to take for our son and DIL, oh and gherkins for our GS, he loves them!
Inside the Mall they had various cafes so we decided to have breakfast , steve ordered it and we had a shock when it arrived as we had six pieces of the toast and three bowls of tomatoes, all for €4, you see the Spanish very often serve coffee in glasses! They do burn your fingers so I prefer a cup.
I’m actually posting this from my iPad and it seems to have a mind of its own and won’t put spaces where I want them so excuse the odd layout of everything, it’s the first time I’ve done it this way! Seems hard work trying to figure it out but until I go home it’s the only way I can join you all, hopefully I will get better, LOL
I look forward to visiting you all, hopefully I will get some free time to comment, it’s quite hectic with a 3 year old around, it takes me half an hour to recover after the walk to daycare, he goes on his scooter and going to daycare it’s downhill so he goes quite fast with me running behind, then I have to walk back carrying the scooter, coming home I have to pull him up the hill as he always says he too tired! He’s learning fast!
Have a great week

Hi Jan, great to see you around again. It's hard work looking after kids, that's true. Love the look of your tostados, yummy! And a great price, wow! Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see you back Jan. I hope you had a nice trip and your baby sitting isn't too much work. But it must be nice to see family again. I think your meal looks yummy, perfect for cooler weather for sure. Have a happy T day. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see the man on the beach, I know the TH stamp you are talking about, it must have been spooky ...lol 😉. Your tostados looks so yummy! Happy travels and wishing you a happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteoh what a beautiful double rainbow! Sounds like your grandson sure is keeping you busy. Wonderful looking meal you've shared. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteThe double rainbow is beautiful. Ive only seen one once. Too funny about the man in the raincoat. I love seeing that stamp. I haven't had luck posting to my blog from the iPad. Even if I use Chrome. Happy Traveling and T Day!
ReplyDeleteYour trip sounds delightful! I'd say a 3-yo gs comes first ;) and I'm sure eventually you'll be able to visit blogging friends. Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous double rainbow photo, Jan. They are a thrill to see. I know exactly the TH stamp you mean - lol.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine you running down the hill after your GS and then having to haul the scooter back up the hill. You should be really fit by the time you leave for home.
Happy T-day! Eileen xx
Gorgeous rainbow, that would have been a cool site the man with the umbrella. your food looks yum-I would prefer a hot beverage in cup as well glad you could join in Happy T kathy
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of the rainbow, You were lucky to catch a photo.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are having a good trip and spending time with your family must be special. I'm sure they would have enjoyed the food treats you took for them.
Happy T day wishes.

Wonderful rainbows Jan !! I´ve never seen one. Lovely place to live, I live in Almería and eat also tostadas con tomate, sal y aceite de oliva virgen, delicious ! the andaluz breakfast !
ReplyDeleteI saw the man stencil too. Happy T-day !
Wish you a very nice Wednesday,
Big hugs, Caty
The double rainbow looks beautiful! I think I would enjoy the food you ate! Perhaps you can persuade your Grandson to have a day without the scooter! Happy T Day! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on posting from your iPad! I can't do that anymore. Quite maddening! I am so glad to see you posting this week. I have missed you. Your rainbow is beautiful. Are you sure you just didn't imagine the TH Umbrella Man out there? LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy T Day dear friend!
Well done you for blogging on your iPad. I can't get it done on mine. It doesn't want to scroll up or down and like yours, it doesn't respect the lay-out.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know which TH stencil you mean. But what spectacular rainbows! I don't think I've ever seen a double one.
I live in Granada province so we also breakfast with toast and tomatoes. It is the typical Andaluz breakfast. I love it!
I hope the ferry trip was uneventful. At this time of year there is often a strong wind which can spoil the pleasure of sailing.
Have a lovely time in the UK.
Happy belated T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Who would have thought a pesky squirrel could have sidelined me for over three days. It sure sidelined ME. Otherwise I would have been here sooner. And here I am so glad to see you sharing a T related post, too.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a double rainbow, so that was spectacular. Sorry the umbrella man didn't show up on your photo, though.
I've never had toast and tomatoes for breakfast, but it surely sounds wonderful. Not sure I would like those glass mugs, either, even though your coffee looks wonderful.
Had to laugh at your grandson. They sure learn fast, don't they? Thanks for joining us again at T this week, Jan. I'm thrilled to see you here.
Great photo of the double rainbow. I think I know the man you mean, so that's a shame that he didn't show up in the photo. Your coffee and food looks delicious. Happy Belated T-Day!
