T is For Oh not not again!

 

I’d like to say sorry for not visiting many of you last week, it was so hot and humid upstairs in my craft room so I couldn’t spend much time on my PC and my iPad kept saying there was an error every time I posted a comment, so annoying after typing a message.

We were enjoying the cooler weather on Friday, lovely and sunny during the day and cool during the evening , unfortunately the pool temperature dropped from 32c to 28c in just a few days, I know such problems, haha!

And then this was our weather on Saturday morning just as we were preparing to go for our walk, fortunately I still managed to get my washing dry as it was quite windy, Sunday was a little better and everything dried nicely.




You can’t see my husband through the rain but he was sitting under the Arbor cleaning the filter for the pool, he had just finished cleaning the pool, now it’s even worse as we’ve had the red rain.






We had to go to the pharmacy last Thursday to organise three months meds for my husband for our trip so While we were out we decided to have breakfast in the Puerto, very naughty having a bocadillo, beicon con huevos, (bacon and eggs) far too much for me but that’s one portion!

A coffee with very pretty cups, my ticket to the T party for this week.


We had Sahara sand blow In overnight Sunday, Half done, you can see the other Half still with the sand.






This was the pile of Sahara sand , just half of the garden around the pool, I then had to sweep down the stairs on the other side of the villa where I go up to my craft room, I could see my husband’s footprints in the sand and also on the mat inside where he had walked inside!!!


Unfortunately we had some more overnight so I've just finished sweeping and mopping again, it's turned humid too and you can see the dust in the air, we can't even see the mountains.


I will try to join the T Party when we arrive in England if I can and hopefully when we arrive in San Francisco,  next week I will be rushing around packing, cleaning and having my hair done so I will be missing the T Party, until next time, keep safe ladies , see you soon

  1. Jan, lovely coffee! The food looks awesome. Wow, I had no idea there was red rain but it makes sense becuase you have all this sand too. So interesting to see how we are all different. When I had a pool, I mostly had to worry about critters (snakes, squirrels, frogs, bugs) and had to clean it all the the time (or save a dying squirrel if possible). I would open the filter cover and quickly step back so nothing surprised me. Now we just have to clean bugs and leaves off our porch as we have no pool.

    Have a safe trip!!!! Happy t-day and hugz

  2. That sounds really nasty with the red sand.
    Oh, yes, we, too, will have to take so many meds for our holiday next year.
    Have fun in England, soon and that food looks yummy, too. Happy T-Day

  3. The lake temperatures around here have dropped off a lot too. Getting in can be tough. But our air temp. is back to hot so it's not too too bad. Smile. And wow that Sahara wind dust is really thick. Wow. I never thought about having to clean up all the sand that is in wind. Now I will after seeing your photos Jan. Have a great T day and I hope it stays a bit cooler for you. hugs-Erika

  4. Glad you had some cooling off time. Oh sand, living by the beach there is always sand everywhere here. I realize your sand blew in. But it is hard to clean up no matter how it comes in. Have a great day today.

  5. Oh my goodness, dear Jan. I have seen others in Spain talk about that Sahara red sand. It's amazing how it settles on EVERYTHING. I feel for you having to clean it so often from your pool and patio.

    Your meal looks wonderful. I agree that's a lot for breakfast. At least you have your husband's meds ready for your trip. That's a lovely tea cup and saucer, too. Thanks for showing us the devastating results of Sahara sand, your breakfast, and your coffee with us for T this Tuesday, dear Jan. We'll miss you next week, but hope to "see" you in England. Have a super holiday.
