Your Plate.

Pizza is not my favourite dish at all. The ones I had in Milan were good but it still didn’t really float my boat. 

However supplies are very low and the lone tomato and half thing of cheese left in the fridge won’t be enough on its own. 

I garlic buttered the pizza base (to waterproof it) before adding the tomato and toppings then pre cut it before cooking. 

It tasted so good it’s worth posting. No sorrowful slightly soggy middle and no shard shattering crust just crispy edged garlic buttered joy. 

I might be a pizza convert.

I think an alcoholic beverage would kill me right now 😂

How can a plate and pizza pieces be upside down? Maybe take a bit more water with it 😆

Yotams Sunday lunch chicken (white wine, garlic, black garlic, lemon, double cream and capers) with butter garlic mushrooms, cooked separately and added at the end so they retain a strong independent garlic butter flavour.

And Mary Berry’s Lemon Curd roulade, the homemade lemon curd is amazing using Spains gorgeously zingy lemons. Renamed it Meringasaurus as the eggs were super sized and puffed up to a giant 40 x 30 cm slab, rolled nicely though. IMG_0163.thumb.jpeg.e80604718462d37ed3f24527899d0bd7.jpeg

They still haven’t opened the bloody pool, everyone agreed it would open beginning of June and close end of September but it’s Spain so the maintenance guys just went - you residents can agree whatever you like and we will continue to do whatever we like. 
I have a grudging respect for that attitude 😂

Do they? Cos nothing else much gets done around here for the other 10 months either 😂

You get used to it eventually.

Then on the odd occasion something does gets done quickly and efficiently you're amazed!

And they're so proud that they've actually accomplished something! :classic_laugh:

Tbh I enjoy it. 
I also enjoy when at home in the uk and things get fraught saying “let’s go Spanish on it” and Mr Slowly will just shrug and say alright then and everything chills out.

Being here reminds you can stay laid back at home too. 
 

Only downside is everyone else seems so feckin uptight 😂

My shengen area app calculator says I can stay 33 more days straight before breaching the 180 rule. 

It shoots back up to 90 days 1st of Oct 👍

I’ve totted up my visits since last October and I have done 101 days this time. I’m pretty pleased with that. I thought the flat buying was going to interfere and it has a lot but I managed more than I thought I would.
