Got up, shower, got dressed, black mean Nespresso machine. Quick meeting near the beach turns into a two hour vis-a-vis. Ran home for business call (couldn’t steal neighbour’s bike as had flat tyre …). Place another call to order my lunch at nearby HS Pasta & Pizza Restaurant.
Take stuff to my local warehouse, otherwise know as my mum’s loft. Driver is not a delivery firm but sister, whose car I also use to transport my recycling to the recycling bin somewhere in the village.
Finish lunch in my sister’s garden with my little nephew and the family dog, a monster of an English Boxer who sits in front of me salivating and dribbling until I gave him a bit of my prawn and cheese pizza rolls. It sounds disgusting but he is a sweet dog. He can also kill you in two seconds but that’s another story.
After lunch espresso is at my cousin’s café near the main fish and veg market. The café is empty bar her partner who was sitting at one of the tables building a miniature fishing boat…obviously.
Supermarket run means I can get some tinto.
Home. Wine al fresco. Start work at 4 pm. Finish work at 9 pm. Wine indoors. Dinner is quick cook spaghetti with a drizzle of olive oil, olives and Parmiggiano served with a glass of Marques de Borba 2014, a lovely blend of Alicante Bouschet, Aragonez, Trincadeira and Touriga Nacional grapes.
Day is over. Oh yes, and the sun was shining. How was your Tuesday?
