Long Time no T

 I'm back, it’s taken a while to get back into the swing of things. We had Lots of fun with the family but because of the heat we’ve had to get back to normal slowly, I’m not sure why it takes me so long to get back into normal life after visitors.

We had so many lovely meals out, we decided it would be cooler to eat out than cook in the heat, our GS at five years old has eaten so many things, he’s really amazing.

The first evening we went to the Italian restaurant on the Marina which is their favourite place, our GS wanted Octopus, when it arrived it was a whole leg, we thought he would freak him out but no, he tucked in to it and managed to eat three quarters of it, of course his Dad and Grandad finished it off,  as a family we never waste food!

The Cuttle Fish my Husband ordered.

I was boring and had Hake and DIL had Bolonese Pizza.

My Sons fried Fish platter, notice his holiday shirt, they are always left here for his holidays. Also his Tankard of beer!

Second night we had an Indian meal, our GS had poppadoms with mango sauce, some prawn cocktail, we ordered him a prawn korma but he fell asleep, his dad carried him home, totally forgot to take photos . Same at the Chinese restaurant, no photos, GS had spring rolls, duck pancakes that he rolled himself and prawns. 

The last night they chose to go back to the Italian restaurant, our GS had Chopitos, I wish I could show the whole photo of him as he was concentrating on eating with such a serious face!

My husband ordered Ribs, another holiday shirt of course!!

We didn't actually eat out for quite a few weeks after they left, you can see why!

We had a fun trip to Murcia last week, we tried to order a new mini iPad for me, it has to be done online and my DH tried but was a bit worried so we drove over to the apple store, an hours drive, so two young ladies were helping us,I picked the colour, purple of course, all good until we tried to pay, our Spanish debit card wouldn’t bring up the pop up to accept the payment, tried twice, then tried DHs card, same, tried the credit card it, it said NO! We offered cash ,not allowed, asked if they had the card machine, no had to be online for pre orders.

I realised on the way home that they had used our Spanish address with the credit card and it’s a British card, ha,ha, well after that we gave up, we did have lunch on the way home but we both felt physically drained, my DH isn’t good at not being in charge as he likes to take his time and read every part when it involves his money! whereas the girls were zipping through it all LOL.

Hopefully in a couple of weeks they will have some spare stock and we can just buy one with cash!

I received this card from my friend in Australia, it was a while ago, to congratulate me on being the Feature Stamper on SCS, we had made BGs using the Bokeh method for a challenge and you can see how beautiful my friends turned out. It's also very glittery around the circles which doesn't show on the photo.

It was such a lovely surprise to find it in the mailbox.

I hope everyone is keeping healthy, I’m looking forward to checking out what you’ve all been up to, keep safe.
