I am feeling not too good, and even though the sun is shining I am finding it hard to lift my mood. There are so many things to be thankful for, but I think I will have to wait for the cloud to pass and try to focus on positive things. Like 'Lunch'. We joined some friends down on the coast yesterday as we missed them on their last visit over, as we were so busy doing house stuff. This time they booked at a place we had never been before. A nice little Hotel called 'Oceano' tastefully decorated with properly trained staff ( last time we went out for lunch Alistair had a bowl poured on him) It was very pleasant sat by the sea, this picture is taken from where I was sitting. Mussels and then beef - it was delicious and have made a mental note to take the children there when they are over. Then on the way home we called in at the shopping complex 'La Canada' where I had a look at an 'ipad' ( want one) and bought a LaCie external drive 500GB to make some room on my Mac. I couldn't resist a quick look at the Nikon cameras ( want one of those as well) and then bought a wedding present for a reception we are going to this evening, and then headed off home, back up into the mountains - where, I then spent an hour watering all the pots before settling down to watch the football. Sky decided not to work on just that channel, but now I'm glad we didn't see it. What a disaster England were. I really can't see the justification in the the amount of money they get paid.
I suspect the are feeling a bit like me today - and have a cloud hanging over them also.
