HI folks..

*waving* to mi amigos from Sf :wave: and thanks to so many of you who have PM'd me concerned about my 'disappearance'...bless you all..but I thought i'd said I was going away before I left..so I'm sorry for causing the concern..:cool:

We've been having a great time..as best as my back will allow me:eek:nthego:..and I've taken loads of photos as usual..however it is November and we've had a couple of really strong tropical storms and torrential rain too. A couple of days of hot sunny weather too with temps up almost 90 degrees..but mainly around 22 degrees and a little overcast.

Yesterday we took the train into Malaga City centre to see the latest Picasso exhibition at the museum..home of the artist. Weather was kind of overcast and a little chilly..altho' 70 degrees the wind chill form the sea makes it feel colder., but by evening it had got so much warmer and we took a trip on the new Huge ferris wheel at Malaga Marina, before going off to join the cafe culture at night in the city centre, where all the locals were out celebrating one of their many Saint days..

This morning it's been pouring with rain but it's just stopped now and the sun has come out again.. so we'll be heading out again very shortly to visit with our grandfurkids up in the mountains..

Here's a few photos of Malaga City yesterday...

Thank you kind sir.:D and everyone...:D..but not back yet ..still a few days to go before we fly back to the UK. Just got back from a day out at the beach and some serious shoes / boots and handbag shopping ( well a girl has to shop at least once doesn't she?) because the leather here is of such excellent quality and a fraction of the price it is in London.
We had lunch at the beach bar in the sun some really tasty Gambas Pil Pil..and fish soup..deeelicious. Timed it just right because soon after it became really overcast .

Yes folks that Ferris Wheel is HUGE..I surprised myself going on it because I'm scared of heights but it wasn't so bad after the terror of the first revolution.*yikes* LOL

Tomorrow we're going back to the city to meet up with some friends and visit the Castle. Hopefully if the sun is kind to us we'll get some decent photos...I have to sort out the photos I've already taken , then I'll post some more perhaps tonight (it's 9pm here now) if our internet connection stays on..or if not then tomorrow.. :cool:

awww, how did you know I've been thinking about a new leather handbag? So sweet! Will it be arriving Fedex or UPS? I'll need the tracking number because I have lots of errands, etc. this week. Gracias, and hasta luego! :D
 
They are on sale for two for the price of one, aren't they? My address is Miss Shirley, Anytown, USA. :D
 
Oh I'm crying now :cry: Have you forgotten about your Aussie friend liking hand leather bags also :laugh::laugh:
i will check the post tomorrow

Well I'm back home, got a ton of photos, travelled widely while we were there, had a great time and a desperately needed mental and physical rest as well, and got loads of photos as always.
I got to see my adored grandfurkids, spent the afternoon with them at my daughters' house and took them out for a run on the mountains and gave them a much needed cool shower. They're being looked after very well by my daughters' hard working staff while she is in Australia on business, so I didn't get to see her or my s-i-l of course which I knew beforehand..but the dogs were absolutely cock-a-hoop at seeing me :D

I'm feeling absolutely worn out now tho', I think it's a cumulative effect of non stop on the go every day from early morning till late at night every day ,and miles and miles of walking....

We had 2 tropical storms while we were there but on the whole we had absolutely glorious sun, 30 (high 80;s) degrees yesterday for our last day , not bad for November .

Daughter arrives back to Spain from Australia after 3 weeks away..on Tuesday,... so it was a shame we couldn't stay longer to see them return ...but she's had a fantastic time...the Brisbane people made her and s-i-l very welcome and treated them both like celebrities ( he is very well known in his work)..so they've really had the most wonderful trip

Back to reality however for me...gotta see both the GP and the dentist on Monday, and it's absolutely persisting down with rain here ..so it's back from the sublime to the ridiculous .. I'm not due back to work until Thursday tho', so that' a little more breathing space for me.. *yeaaah* :D
