Well actually its Thursday however the day started in the usual way with breakfast and Jennifer decided that she would like to go for long walk along the beach and as Noel had overdone the walking on the previous day and was limping quite a bit he decided it was better to stay around the Hotel. Its quite easy when you are staying in the same place for a few days that its easy to forget which day of the week it is, ah well thats life.
So Jennifer went for a long walk down the beach and surfaced near the far end of Puerto del Carmen and then walked all the way back to the Hotel slightly exhausted by her efforts, she said I will do this again tomorrow, lets see. In the meantime Noel got the Blog up to date and did a few emails and then out of the blue we received a what's app message recorded by my sister Annette who is currently in a care home in Dartmouth and so we recorded one for her. Its my Brother in Laws 80th Birthday this coming Saturday and their three girls will be visiting Dad and Mum is being taken by a care worker to join a small birthday party locally.
In the afternoon Noel tried to make a new music app work on his phone but without success but the the support withing one hour in response to my email was very good and so now it works. This will (should) allow me to play all my old CDs that I recorded some while ago in my car using the Android Auto software. We also spent some time just enjoying the sun and breeze and overlooking the beach and sea with Jennifer reading noel enjoying music.
We decided to go back to the Irish Bar for the no nonsense food with Jennifer having a hot cheese salad and Noel the Fish and Chips as he thought it was Friday, hence the opening paragraph on the subject. From there TV’s we learnt of the defection of Sue Gray who now looks to have stitched up Boris with an investigation that was biased from the very start , should be interesting over the next few weeks to see if the labour Government were behind this and if there could be warfare in Westminster.
Anyway after dinner we headed back to the room as Real Madrid were playing Barcelona and this promised to be a good match, the first channel we found was unable to show the actual game only the crowds and and managers, how stupid is this, and so I thought well that's it and then started flicking thro the channels and lo and behold I found the game live with a Spanish very excitable commentator who could not stop talking..Anyway the game was a bit rough as expected when these two teams play each other with Real Madrid having larger part of the possession but with Barcelona winning by one goal largely due bad luck on on RM goalie who saved the ball which then bounced back of an RM player in to the net. This is only the first leg and so will be interesting to follow the next leg providing its on UK TV.
And then to bed…
