T is for Tea, But not as I know it!

 Hello Ladies, I haven’t had time to join the T Party the last few weeks as we had our family over, just for five days, it seems to take me a while to get back into normal life after the family leave, I always feel a little downhearted.

We had fun, our GS and son swam although the pool although was only 21c, sounds warm but not when the water touches your body, too cold for me although I did end up getting drenched having a water fight with GS.

GS had his chopitos, even ordered them himself, he even asked for the bill and the waiter gave it too him, the waiter was laughing as GS said he didn’t have any money,  he’s having Spanish lessons after school now and can already count to ten and say hello how are you, of course the Spanish people we know are more than happy to chat to him, he’s only five so I think he’s doing really well.

Our meal out on the Sunday was a birthday celebration for me, Halloween!! we didn’t realise it would be so busy so we didn’t book a table! We had decided to go for a Moroccan meal only to be told they didn’t serve until 2pm, too late for us as they were leaving for the airport at 5 pm, back to our favourite restaurant on the marina.

My husband ordered this Pizza Calzone, he actually thought it was a meat Pasty until a friend told us it was a Pizza, since then he's been wanting to try it, he said it was delicious.

Tuna, hard boiled egg and cheese.

I had lamb cutlets , GS had chopitos as usual.

My ticket to the T party this week, as many of you will know I only drink black breakfast tea with milk but my GSs sent this so I gave it a go, I will let you know my verdict when I’ve tried it!

 They also sent me a book, a photo frame with the eldest GSs latest photos in it,  our eldest son bought me perfume and craft magazines that had free dies and craft papers.

I had so many birthday cards from my crafty friends, this gorgeous one was from Sharon, my favourite colour too, a beautiful background.

This one was from a friend in England who also is a crafter, very apt to show for the T party, a lovely  fancy fold too.

We haven’t been walking for the last couple of weeks as my husbands heel is painful, again, it’s given me time to go back to my craft room, to tidy up, my son bought over two die sets I had bought last year but they arrived after we had left, so I’ve been having a play with them.

 I was so impatient to use them,  they were fixed together and  I couldn’t get them apart and didn’t want to go back down the stairs to get my husband to break them apart so I cut them stuck together, I think they are quite good, this is together and apart, I’ve also been obsessed with the glittery foam! Not sure what I will do with all the die cuts though!

We also decided to try Amazon.es,  my husband wears sketchers and needed some new ones, they cushion his heel more than other makes, we were very very impressed as they arrived within three days, I think my husband is already regretting it though as I also ordered a 3D embossing folder,  two inks and a background die, ha,ha,

My husband had his booster vaccine and his flu vaccine at the same time last Wednesday, it was quite funny as we arrived there first as usual, his appointment was 9.30 but they didn’t start until 9.45, the Spanish people started arriving and crowded around the door, as usual, trying to push in, my husband was called first, he had to sit on a chair that was propping the door open, everyone was still crowded around the door watching ! He couldn’t even get out of the door when he had finished, quite bad seeing as they tell us to stand two metres apart! Anyway he had no after effects at all, he’s trying to book my appointment, they told me I was too young last week, first time I’ve been told that for a while!!

Happy T Day, I hope you are all keeping well and Safe
