The barbeque kind of went as planned, the weather
was not too kind but Arthur and I managed to cook the fish outside on our last
disposable barbecue and Carol did a big dish of potatoes and Meditteranean
vegetables, our french friends came around with 3 superb bottles of wine from
Bordeaux and we had a marvellous evening, we celebrated the fact that Sarah, a
french girl has just discovered she is pregnant and we had a marvellous evening
talking in 'Franglais'. We then ate some cherries and plums in alcohol,
delicious and a french speciality, bottled by the French and very generously
donated to the party, after that I felt obliged to offer a finger or two of
Bushmills Malt whisky and we all went to bed happy at about midnight. This
morning we found the proper supermarket and vegetable market and stocked up as
everything is closed now until Monday. Weather forecast still looks ok for a
Monday morning early start, planning to spend Monday night in Cabrera, a lovely
nature reserve island we have visited before, then a day trip to Formentera, off
Ibiza, then over to mainland Spain and around to Almerimar. Owing to the engine
problem and inclement weather it looks like we will not get to Portimao in time
so are planning to maybe leave P3 in Almerimar, for sale, for June and come
home, end May/early June, certainly for a month.
