Keep it Clean

The importance of cleanliness in a hot climate like this cannot be stressed enough, It is a wonderfull environment for germs and bugs, and being extra carefull with food hygiene is a must. Keeping your fridge well chilled, work surfaces clean and clean hands are a good start, My wife has just suffered from a bad stomach bug, at least we know it was not food poisoning.
I have heard it said that it is not a good idea to go out for a meal in July and August, because you can never be sure how well the food is looked after... and it only takes a little laziness in a kitchen to create contaminated food.

The Non Starter

My wife and daughter told me they were off to a social group gathering, i´m up for that i thought, then they told me it was ladies only, never one to give up easily i decided to try dressing for the occasion. I thought i looked pretty good but they ran away screaming. I got my own back in the end as the event was a non starter, due to the summer recess, this is the time of year lots of things close down until the end of August, and a lot of Brits go back to the UK, to escape the heat. My wife and daughter are now thinking about setting up there own group, - progress report at a later date.

Bank holiday Monday----Fiesta day here

Amazing, i put a CD rom in the PC, there was a big bang, when i opened the draw the CD was in little pieces, so later i´ve got to take it to the shop otherwise the guarentee will be no good.
Swimming pool is closed today as always on Mondays so cannot have a 'cool down' swim.

Mary has just finished her Ebook on 'Communities in Spain' she is quite an expert on the subject as she is also the president of our community of 44 residences.

We have fish cakes for dinner left over from the fish (palometo) last night. the weather is hotter here today --about 33 degrees in the shade-- but August has been cooler than last year.
