Sounds a really good holiday. You make me laugh about Mr SA's endless window shopping.
We're due a heatwave here supposedly soon so hopefully it will make your homecoming easier3 -
I am so glad you are having a good time. How is the Spanish doing?

Still carrying on with the daily lessons even though I’m on holiday. I’m so glad I’ve persevered as I have used it in a few shops and bars. I feel so much more comfortable knowing I can speak a fair bit of the language should I need it.ladyholly said:I am so glad you are having a good time.

I need to get out of this not getting up until 8am habit 😆 It doesn’t get light until around 7.30 which is throwing me out.We’ve been here a week today, it’s flown by! Got 3 more days so need to make the most of them.Spoke to DD last night, everything is fine at home, the dog and cats are ok.Payday came and went and I never saw that magic moment when the bank balance was healthy before all the direct debits went out. Will have plenty of finance checking to do when I get home. It’s quite liberating to not be checking them every day although not good long term I know.Need to do some present shopping today for DD, DS and the GKs. I won’t be spending much, usually just get DS a can of the local beer and the GKs some local sweets. DD wants a bag for work, plenty to choose from here and so much cheaper than back home.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

Beautiful weather at home today, @Sun_Addict - hope the blue skies & sunshine hold until you get back.

That would be great @foxgloves, plenty of washing to get dry.Had to go onto online banking today to clear the cc. Noticed the £150 CT rebate was in the bank.The heat has ramped up a notch today, absolutely scorching.Went to the shopping centre this morning, parked Mr SA in a cafe with a coffee while I had a browse.Afterwards we went for lunch in a beautiful sea front restaurant.Now back at the hotel chilling until tonight.
