My son Stuart and family came for their annual two weeks in
the sun. Unfortunately they arrived
during the hottest part of the hottest summer we have had in some years. Coming from north of Newcastle such high
temperatures were something of a trial.
Much of the first week has been spent in the pool. For most of the year we seem to spend more
time cleaning and looking after the pool, but in the summer months it makes it
all worth while. Not sure how we would
have coped with the heat without it.
We have also spent a lot of time in the evening eating and
chilling on the naya. Jack, aged 5, has
discovered Gecko’s. They are small
lizards who gather on the naya roof waiting for small insects attracted by the
lights. Each evening when we put Jack
to bed we had to promise to get him up again as soon as the Gecko’s made an
appearance.
During the heat of the day we did what the Spanish do – kept
indoors out of the sun. Jan and I
usually read or watch TV. Jack and
Stuart have their tablets to keep them occupied. Both engrossed both totally unaware of each
other.
The weather forecast is for lower temperatures next
week. Hope so, then we can all get out
and enjoy the local area.
