Weather forecast was mostly wrong. Glorious day on the whole with one nice exception.

Thinking the day was going to be a write-off, Karen took a big dose of sleeping tablets to try and get a good sleep (50mg tamazepam) which did its trick but we knew it would leave the morning as a lost cause. How annoying to find that it was glorious and we couldn’t do the Ronda trip or the Marbella people-watching trip but we still had a great day!

I got Karen up at 11am and went to get her a tea and croissant, which she was very impressed with. Good husband points rolled in!

She had a massage booked for 12pm so we ambled down for that. She has overdone it quite a bit on the holiday so a bit of pamper time was well-needed.

We both went in the health spa after and were the only ones in so we really enjoyed all of its facilities.

Then, a lovely walk to the Marina where we fed the fish and had a sit down.

Once back to the hotel, we had a drink in the sun, feeding the hotel cat, before going for a snooze. The weirdest thing happened whilst we were outside. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky within a 5-mile radius and it started raining, everyone was bemused. It was quite refreshing and a joy to watch the others (probably not Brits) run for cover! Well, I say run. The average age at the Hotel Triton is probably 76, so more shuffling than running.

That’s a first for me, weather-wise so I was pleased at that.

Home tomorrow. Had a text from Marie to say she had broken her arm. no detail as to how. Yikes!
