Back to work and school. Got a big grocery haul and planning to eat at home most of the week. Bought a roasted chicken for lunch and made pasta with pesto for supper. Evening stroll for ice cream and steps.

Thursday Jan 7
We went for a lunchtime walk and spent a little time on the beach - we haven't actually been into the sea for a while now as it has been either cooler or too sargassummy. Ate at home again and got rained out from an evening walk.

Saturday Dec 9
The beautiful weather returned and we had a fabulous beach day and light lunch at Tarraya with our friend Debbie. The sargassum was gone, the sun was beaming and the Xmas crowds had dissipated.
| Hot enough to finally get into the water again! |
Later that evening, we took Connor out for supper at La Taberna which, again, was fantastic!

Sunday Dec 10
Jordan and Connor took a ride to the Sunday Market in search of shorts but had no luck. We decided to give Casa Sofia another try as we were craving their delicious pasta. The food was pretty good but the service was rubbish so we will definitely not return!
