Friday Smiles

Hello Ladies, life seems to be going really fast now we are allowed a little more freedom, our region of Murcia have had no new cases and we have been told the last person has left hospital, that’s great news, Spain only had one death yesterday too, thank goodness, it’s so sad that so many people had died, Spain are having ten days of mourning for those who have lost their lives, our flags are all at half mast.
we are allowed out at any time and leave our Urbanización, that is wonderful. We now walk every morning, we do our shopping on the way home, in the port shopping seems very strict but more relaxing, no lines and not many people inside as all shops have gone back to normal working hours, still 2 metres apart, still masks, gloves and sanitizers at the door, I feel more relaxed, instead of rushing and getting home all shaky from the stress of it all.
Sunday we went to the smaller beach hoping it wouldn’t be too busy, most people walking were careful but some still won’t keep to the side so we were doing a zig zag along the seafront.
This is the view along the Paseo, a lot of the houses are empty, it surprised us as we thought most people lived here but obviously not seeing as only a handful had anyone in them , this weekend will be different as we are allowed to move around but only in Murcia so I’m guessing many will come down for a visit.
This is a restaurant where normally have tapas but they don’t open until 9.30am so too late for us, we are coming out early to avoid the late risers. They have a lovely garden and massive inside area where they have a BBQ area. Our family love to go there when they come over as they do a good selection of Tapas.
This is the view from the restaurant, there’s some lovely house overlooking the beach and sea, we would need to win the lottery to buy one though.
My biggest smile today is that it is our 49th Wedding Anniversary, not sure where all the years have gone, It’s also our sons 5 th wedding anniversary today, it was funny when he said he was getting married, we said how nice that they were getting married on the same day, our son said, is it really, LOL, Steve was looking on google to find out what anniversary it was for 5 years, apparently it’s wood, our son said no problems we have a wood shed full of it, our DIL shouted it’s not wood it’s fish and chips, Steve sent over the money to pay for the fish and chips and a bottle of wine, we aren’t going out, we still don’t feel safe but we will be have lamb steaks, scalloped potatoes with salad, I’ve made a butterscotch tart, we know how to celebrate, ha,ha,
Hope you all have a lovely weekend, keep safe, a quick funny that our DIL send this morning.

  1. Free hammocks! That is funny! It made me smile!
    Yes, things are a little bit more relaxed. But whereas the shops were empty before, they are now full and people are not keeping their distance, at least not in the large supermarkets, so I don't know what i should do. I did prefer the one out- one in system or a security guard counting trolleys so not too many people get in at the same time.
    I'm going to stay cautious. I did have a very good friend visit me today and we sat on opposite sides of the room, but it was nice to catch up. She lives an hours drive from us, so I haven't seen her for months.
    The Oasis de las Palmeras looks like a nice place. I will remember that one (for better times). I hope they can stay in business until then.
    Have a great weekend,
    Stay safe and take care,
    Hugs,

  2. I was late linking at Annie's this week and have not been able to catch up. Sorry I'm late visiting you, too.

    I saw Kate's blog was also showing the flags of mourning at half mast. I think that's a wonderful idea. We are losing more and more everyday.

    It was good to read that you are a bit more relaxed that you don't have to rush home so quickly. It makes for a much more enjoyable walk and time to relax as you do it, too.

    Loved your hammock joke. I saw it on another blog earlier today, too. It's STILL fun and funny. Hope you have a super rest of whatever is left of your weekend, dear Jan.

  4. OOhh Happy Wedding Anniversary Jan !! May you be very happy together. What a nice detail about your family.
    I hope you can enjoy a little more your walks, here we also have more "freedom", although we must continue to be careful of course.
    I really liked the humor of the little mice haha. Have a great new week, and big hugs,
