I got up early to walk the dogs for a while before it got too hot. We've planned a trip down the coast later so we'll be leaving them for a time. I walked for around 2 hours along the tracks at Jimera just after 7.30, it was cool and pleasant.


We saw yet more sheep, no cows this time. A few lambs though.

Ben watched over them whilst they ran past us.

This is looking down the valley towards Ronda just as the sun came over the hills, the temperature soon rises when the sun comes over the hills.

On our way back we spotted the sun rising over the railway lines.

I let the dogs swim for a bit, the ducks didn't seem too worried about it. They get really wet and dirty.
Dan'll need another bath.

These cats were sitting in the sun at a doorway.

After breakfast we sat in the sun for a while, it seems cooler today but maybe we're just getting used to it, we certainly needed the brolly. We did a few loads of washing, tidied up after the dirty dogs, I brushed the dogs (again) and then walked them round the olive groves.

Nafeica finally called to say the sparkie is coming tomorrow night so hopefully he will be able to fix it. We set off for the Coast at 2.30. We need new sunbeds, no matter what we do our guests seem to break sunbeds, every time we come here we need to buy more. So, we head first of all to Carrefour to see what they have to offer, Susan drove and we parked underneath. They didn't have any that we fancied but we bought some Jam and Fruit & Fibre (they are the best). We drove to La Canada to try and get a new seal strip for the bath but they have run out, in next week - not having much luck so far! However Casa is next door and Susan just LOVES that shop so I sat on a deck chair while she shopped. We went to the supermarket next door and found a sunbed, we've bought it so we'll see how it goes. I got pick and mix then we set off for Puerto Banus.

We looked round the supermarket at El Cortes Inglis, they sell some hoover bags but we've forgotten the part number so no luck there. We did get some boil in the bag rice and cheese though!

I fancied Italian and David said there was an Italian on the port that is good.



A little boy was chucking bread for the fish, some huge fish here.

The italian have got it sussed, they create a Queue at the door suggesting that the place is mobbed, people seem to just join the queue, however the restaurant is half empty. It was good mind you. This area is the home of the rich, trendy and glamorous people so we naturally fit in well, if only I had ironed my Primark T Shirt.

There was a woman at the next table with exceptionally large - well you know whats, when she leaned forward to get up I said "cor she's a big girl", she was, in fact a dwarf so I felt a bit bad.

There was something going on at the cartier shop, Police, Security and Photographers. A crowd had gathered and it was clear that some famous celeb was inside. We waited for a while and an Irish man told me that it was just the grand opening of the shop and nobody famous was there.

This is the sort of totty that they roll out for these kind of events. Once we found out that there was no celebs we picked up our supermarket bag of boil in the bag rice and cheese and shuffled off.

The med from the port area.

Some virgin surrounded with loads of money.
Typical sign on a shop doorway, this shop sells shorts at over £100.

And finally, this is what I see most mornings on my pc, weather for Malaga and Dundee, guess where I'd rather be?
