Penultimate day

Thursday was a lovely day with total sunshine and warm temperatures.   Unfortunately, Pauline had a stomach upset during the night and stayed in bed till lunchtime.   By then she was feeling much better and we set off to Colmenar for a final visit to our local supermarket.   After lunch we rested and then spent more time swimming in the pool.   It was exhilarating as usual.

Throughout the holiday here we have had the company of the two resident cats.   They are not house trained so are not allowed in the house.   Their day is spent snoozing!   Early in the morning I went outside to retrieve some washing that had dried overnight and found Tiddy asleep on a window sill that was guarded with heavy bars.   She was able to squeeze through the bars and then lie on the sill.   It was rather a clever arrangement because the security bars prevented her from falling off the sill.

The other cat, Marmy, has decided I am a good friend and comes to me for regular stroking.   Both of them are on duty by the outside dining table  when we are eating.   They watch with great interest, hoping for titbits.   They are experts at cleaning fish.   When they have finished you get a perfect picture of a fish skeleton - absolutely clean.   Tiddy can be a nuisance when she comes for affection because she tries to get on my lap.   When you are wearing shorts you can get a nasty surprise when the claw pierces your bare thigh!

Friday will see us setting off to the hypermarket for a supply of wine to bring home!
