T is for Tapas, again

 Hello Ladies, hope you are all well, we seem to have had another busy week but now I look back I wonder why.

We did collect our documents for our TIE card and Sunday we decided we would take a drive to Murcia to see where the offices are, actually it was very easy to find but then we decided to go to IKEA, only five minutes drive away apparently, the trouble is that we had to find our way back to the motorway,  not always easy here as they have service roads alongside the main roads and motorways so sometimes it can be confusing, thank goodness it was early and Sunday with not so much traffic.

We already have two chairs but decided to buy two more but as we went in the main door we spotted some lovely cane chairs, my husband asked one of the staff if they were in the garden section, she said yes so we decided to go there first, as you may know that is near the check outs!

 we couldn’t find them, asked at the desk, no joy so we gave up, went all the way back to find the ones we came for and then spotted the ones we’d been looking for, unfortunately they were quite expensive and we would have to buy four to match, we ended up buying the ones we already had, by this time we were flagging so found a short cut to pay, I always like the thought of going to IKEA but never actually enjoy it.

I was shocked that my husband decided to put them together when we got home, I hate helping  him as he is methodical, counts the screws etc by that time I’m on page ten, ha,ha such fun. I will post a photo next week when all the hanging pots are in place

So Friday we decided to try a restaurant the other end of the beach from last week

to the left you can see the campsite, it’s starting to fill up

Unfortunately even at midday they had no tapas ready so we just had a coffee, lovely views. This is looking to the right, it's quite a steep drop from where you can see the edge of the beach and quite stony, we had to buy the GSs rubber shoes to wear.

We went back to the Oasis restaurant, the same place as last week rather than drive somewhere else

We did have one different Tapas, pork in salsa, very nice, apart from that the other two tapas were the same, even the drinks.

I like to watch the birds, one even sat on the chair next to me and started chirping loudly, that was before the food even arrived.

I took this photo, they sit on the gate, you can see them waiting,  when the waitress disappears they try to go inside looking for food

Good news I had my colon results back today, negativo! The weather is hot now, yesterday when we went back to the car after our walk it was showing 38c, we were parked in the sun, it dropped to 31con the way home! Today it was 27c at 10am so if you'd like to pop over for a cool drink you will find me in the shade with a book.

Take Care Ladies
