Friday smiles
Friday again and the end of our eighth week of lockdown, I hope you are all still well and coping, I’ve made enough birthday and Christmas cards to last about three years I think! We are only allowed out to walk in our own area so we are just walking around our Poligono, five times is almost two miles, I managed 9946 steps yesterday, after our walk I went shopping so my steps were higher than normal, it's all that backtracking I have to do to find things I haven't bought for a long time!!
The nearest houses from our road.
The roundabout or Glorietta as they call them here at the end of our road, the residents have planted all the trees and flowers on it.
the good news is from Monday we can now travel in the car together, not sure why we couldn’t before seeing as we live together! We have the car booked in for it's first service, by appointment only so we can walk down to the beach and finally do some shopping at the English shop, it's amazing, it only sells Tesco brand although it's not called Tesco's. I'm hoping they may have flour and Domestos, the Spanish bleach just isn't the same! I've also run out of photo paper for my travel journal so I'm hoping the stationers will be open.
Since Our neighbour found us some cola blanca,( grout), Steve has dug out all the tiles that had lifted with all the rain cleared out the old cement and I’ve re laid them, it’s looking so much better now.
A couple of funnies that our DIL sent me, There are some great jokes going around to cheer us all up.
I’m not saying that our son is worn out keeping our four year old GS amused but he sent this photo, the title was day 874 of lockdown, that was on week five, LOL
I managed to get some Spanish flour last week and was looking for a recipe to use some bananas that were getting too ripe, I spotted a recipe for old fashioned Butterscotch Pie, I though I would make it and slice the bananas on the top.
It turned out great and I cut us both a slice, after we had eaten it I realised I didn’t put the sliced bananas on the top. It really is absolutely delicious but a little goes a long way!
I guess that's all I have to report for this week, not a lot going on but hopefully next week I will have some photos of the beach!! Can't wait. Stay safe everyone, until next time!

ReplyDeleteLove the funnies and the pie looks scrummy even without the bananas we called it Banoffee pie, it looks like the same thing. Sending hugs, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteYes, it does look like Banoffi pie. I have made it once and I remember having to cook (boil) a tin of condensed milk for hours, until the 'milk' came out brown. It was very yummy and very calorific.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are allowed to walk along the beach. That would be amazing. I envy you. I'd love a walk along the beach.
Have a lovely weekend,
