Still at anchor in Muros. This morning Wendy
and I went ashore to do messages, leaving Richard and Roger to play nicely
together - Richard wanted to adjust his rigging, and climb the mast to mend the
windvane on Myrica. I wanted a haircut, and both Wendy and I wanted a bit
of shopping.
Suzanne from Suzy Too had said that there was a
good hairdressers in Muos. I'm not sure whether the one I went to was the
one she could recommend, but it was highly satisfactory, (although of course not
to the standatd of Barry, my UK artist.) I had looked up key phrases, and
took the Oxford Duden dictionnary with me as well, so that I could share
pictures if the language go too difficult. A wash, cut and blow dry cost
13 euros.
Wendy and I then went up to the municipal libray to
see if Roger and I could register as members. Last time we were in Spain
we registered at Santa Marta de Ortiguiera, and then used the membership in all
the libraries. This time, Richard and Wendy had done the same, also in
Santa Marta. In Muros, the librarian was not minded to be helpfu, but
wanted us to use the library's PC. Not what we wanted! Anyway, we
managed to access the library site, using Myricas log in derails.
We were invited to Myrica for supper and thought
we would take a small hors oeuvre. Due to a linguistic malfunction (
I thought there were 12 clams to the kilo, whereas the price was 11 euros for a
kilo) we got a kilo of razor clams (navallas) which barbecues up a treat, but
which we too much! For teh futrure, I need to remember that a half kilo
for 4 will be plenty as an hors d'oeuvre!
Portosin tomorrow.
