• There and back ... a paddle

    31 Januari 2024, Sepanyol ⋅ 🌙 15 °C

    We lazed in the sun, John read and I tried to gen up on Spanish. We feel a bit ashamed that we can't speak any. I have learnt the odd word. Duo Lingo is a very clever app as it takes me so far but as soon as I'm getting somewhere, it gives me the option of paying a subscription, or quitting the app. So I quit. The next time I open the app, it takes me right back to a level I've already done. It would be good to pay and learn properly. On the other hand I need to be on the internet and have limited data. We'll see.
    John took the van to the service area to fill up and empty water. He got held up by a huge van trying to manoeuvre onto the site with a large trailer, which had a large mini on the back. Some of these motorhomes are ludicrously large for actually getting about.
    Went for a late-ish walk to the sea for a paddle and 5.5 miles later, towards sundown, we were back home.
    Speaking of home, we've had news from our neighbours of changes at Brynteg, plus a photo. The barn at the back is being demolished and 3 houses are going to be built on the land. Hopefully it will be an improvement. I like rusty corrugated iron but there was rather a lot of it. Very surprised it didn't come up in the search when we were buying the house though.
    Some evening pics today. A typical evening activity for John is to read on his tablet whilst he shells and munches on walnuts. Good for the brain I believe.
