Our eating habits have changed out here in that we don't seem to want lunch
And supper. So, if we eat out at lunchtime, I will usually go without supper. Excellent for losing some weight for me but JC will probably fade away. Anyway today we are going to Olhao for a walk and lunch.
I have written here about Gybo's liver and health problems but not about her back legs. Our vet says the communication from the spine has suffered and consequently her back legs aren't working properly and she often falters. Yesterday, we noticed she has a limp and the whole movement of her body when walking looks very awkward and painful. I have bought some Metacam (dog painkiller) from England and hope a course of this will help. She is now not up for any walking at all which will seriously compromise our plans.
So Kicker and Jc go off across the flats for a walk when we get to Olhao and Gibby and I fiddle around on the front. The sun is out. There is a cool breeze but it is warm and I take my coat off.
We choose a restaurant on the front (first one from the west)that has tables on the pavement and sitting here in the sun it is gorgeous. Dogs under the table so no worries about the van heating up and the restaurant offers a buffet which I choose. Excellent cold salads with some stuffed filo pastry shapes, and hot fish pie. Jc has a sort of blanquette de porc thing with chips, rice and potatoes which was also very good. The bill including 2 x 7 up was €22. There is a notice by the buffet saying anything leftover on our plates will be weighed and charged. A good idea.
We entertained our neighbours to drinks on Saturday and have been invited over to them this evening. From Brussels, they are very hospitable and well travelled. They tell us about their holiday to Japan which sounded remarkable and different. Apparently in Japan, car GPS's only work to telephone numbers. So, if you want to go to a beach, i wonder how that works. We wobble back to the house in time to catch up on The Halcyon on "Filmon".
