Not too busy today, two catch-ups and most importantly getting haircuts. Firstly we had a coffee morning with Rita and Rodney, but before that I headed off to get some cakes; again!!!
Rodney and Rita arrived and we had a good old chinwag catching up etc., and with time running away, we nearly forgot our appointments with Paula to get our hairs sorted. As they left we agreed to pop round to them in the morning before they had to shoot off.
Paula did her usual excellent job of cutting our hair, after which we headed down to Torre de La Horadada to meet up with Daphne and Steve. Again the chatter was incessant and the vino and gins flowed accompanied by some very tasty canapés. After a few very enjoyable hours we departed, stopping off at the Campoverde dog park before getting home. Tonight is quiz-night at Lucia’s and we have been invited to join a team called “we know nothing”, Jim, Hazel and Vince, though there is usually another couple who were away today allowing us to slot in.
Didn’t need any dinner tonight, had too much through the day!!!
At the appropriate time I headed down to the quiz, Christine isn’t a big fan of quiz’s and with things to do, I headed off on my own. Paul has been running this quiz for many years and always gets a very good turnout, presumably because it is lighthearted, a variety of question topics to keep things interesting, humour and of course, he’s a jolly nice fellow. As usual there was the complete mix of questions, many of which most people can answer but also some very testing ones, tonight was no different. Apart from the “business-in-hand” it is a very sociable gathering and it was nice to see some familiar faces, especially Shirley after the trauma she has been through.
The evening ended with the results, we were equal first 😂😂, a result, but on count-back we finished second🥵🥵, still a very enjoyable evening
