It’s been a weekend of various activities, including, taking a walk around the village on a sunny afternoon, playing cards, writing, of course, putting the washing out, bringing the washing in, putting the washing out, making plans for a possible winter trip at the end of the year, and carrying furniture around the village after dark.
Mind you, those ‘beach pants’ light up the place a little. (The chair is one of two Christmas presents for the courtyard). There are, or were, other items of clothing on sale from the man with the van who sells work clothes at Campos (the beachwear was an online order).
As for this week, I have made arrangements for some varied musical activities, starting today with an afternoon piano lesson followed by a walk up the hill to visit Steve and see how he makes his backing tracks. On Wednesday, we’re seeing George for an intro to playing the guitar, then there’s another piano lesson on Thursday. In the meantime, the estate agent is coming to photograph the house as it’s going back on sale, and I’ve made an appointment to see an osteopath in Rhodes next week. What with all that and writing another instalment of my current series set in the past, it looks like I’m going to have a busy week. And people ask, ‘What do you do in the winter?’
Enjoy the greenery is another thing.
And make the most of the good weather while it’s there.
