Last Shopping Day

Thursday 22^nd February

Another nice day weather-wise, and we did the local market, and La Trocha to get R’s wedding cuff-links.

Then back to the house for a final pack and loaded L’s suitcases (including an extra one for the shopping haul) , and then drove to Malaga and walked through old quarter, where there are lots of wedding shops …..disaster..….all closed as it was 3.30 pm….We then walked to the Cathedral for coffee and then a long walk to Italian garden (closed with lots of building work along main promenade area …..aiming for Easter completion I guess) …and walked round harbour/port and along front and back along promenade to old quarter…..the wedding shops were now all open …., but L failed to get white wedding sandals she wanted……nothing in white until the Spring collections arrive.

Then off to the Aerepuerto ..heavy traffic…..dropped L off about 6.30 pm for her 8.30 pm flight.

Friday 23^rd February

We both slept in late for a change …..weather sunny but cloudy later. Did some key administration to renew car tax Then off to Locutorio to have an e mail session and phone calls , including planning a USA reunion trip, taking in New York the previous week.

Decided on menu del dia as late (3 pm) , but not so good as usual….proably as so late.

Home to potter and read paper …couldn’t settle so we went to Quadalhorse at Pizarra to birdwatch……a few black-winged stilts, swallows and some greeny warblers we couldn’t identify.
