The next bit

Not sure where we got to but let’s start on Saturday; we went shopping. Daisy didn’t want to go so her and Tom stayed home so me and George did the driving. It was his first time abroad and he did fine. Went to 2 different supermarkets and bought loads, including enough ice cream to stock an ice cream van! Oh and lots of beer, sweets and crisps! Tom S did a barbecue for tea. The thing about there being so many of us is that the dishwasher needs filling and putting on twice a day. I like to get cleared away after meals and put it on and, in my enthusiasm I may accidentally have spilt George’s beer, thinking it was an empty bottle. He was very good about it though and hardly mentioned it (well only 20 times a day thereafter).
On Sunday we played in the pool in the morning and after lunch we drove to Carveiro and then walked along a cliff top board walk to the resort. We all had an ice cream but the ones who avoided queuing up and ordering it sat so far away that by the time we servers got to them, their ice cream was running down the cornet onto hands which made them sticky, eeeeyuk! I had rice pudding flavour and it had pieces of rice in it! Nice though! We had another coffee at the cafe we went to the other day and George was impressing the owner with his language skills. Daisy went in several shops and bought several things. We drove back there in the evening and went in quite a posh restaurant called Wolf! It was expensive but nice.
Monday was expected to be rainy and chilly but towards late morning we decided to set off for the beach, in the rain. We arrived at lunchtime and went straight in a restaurant on the edge of the beach for lunch, which was very good. The brilliant bit though was that the sun came out and was very strong in blue skies for the rest of the day. Daisy went in the sea and befriended another English girl and the bigger boys built sand castles. Oh and we played rounders (I won) and kind of cricket (I won that too). When we got back mum not only put on her swimming costume but also went in the pool and got it wet! So every one of us was in the pool today. A fabulous day but the weather forecast for tomorrow is wall to wall rain all day long!
