  • Monday 12th March 2012

    Monday Morning: Clear and sunny, it will be at least 20C later... The good weather continues. I have been able to fly most days and have also done some work on the Spanish street........

    Thursday and Friday we stayed here and sat in the Naya in the afrternoon, I added the first clay finish to the front of the Spanish street bar....

    Saturday we went to the market in Benissa but the plaza was in use so parking was over a km away, which is a long way with bags full of several kilo's of produce!

    Sunday was another nice day, I had 3 nice flights with Lady B, (which has just passed it's 6th birthday) and a couple with the big Hughes, I also did some more work on the Spanish street

    Wednesday the 7th March was a horrendous day for poor Beccie with a full 10 1/2 hours of chemo, so instead of me sitting in a car car for upward of 12 1/2 hours Chrissie suggested that I go to Javalambre skiing. At first I felt like a traitor, but it made sence as Valencia is half way to Javalambre, so I got my yearly day skiing.



    The snow was good    , I did 28 runs during the day and estimated that I had probably skied 60km. I thought I did really well, no falls this year, in fact I was skiing with confidence and kept going until they closed the piste at 4-30pm. I was back in Valencia at 6-15pm but still had a long wait and we didn't get home until gone 11pm....

    The previous Wednesday was the first week where everyting had gone to plan and we were home before dark for the first time. Also it didn't seem to make Beccie feel too bad, so she was much happier.

    The next day, Thursday 1st March was a really calm and sunny day and I flew a lot..... It's also the day the sun comes out from behind the mountain.

    Friday we went to town and to get notorised copies of our passports to save us carrying the real thing.....

    Saturday Beccie and Antony went to stay at their flat for the weekend, it's the first time Beccie has stayed away since she got sick. Chrissie and I went to Maria's for lunch, also the first time in ages....

    On Sunday Chrissie sugested that we go to Suzies, it was kind of our first "weekend off" in a while too so we did. That was really nice, we both had the steak, they do steaks really well there..... The music and atmosphere were good and

    Monday and Tuesday were spent in anticipation of the horrendous Wednesday..... We did go to town on Tuesday afternoon to get some nice things to eat for Wednesday.....

    After the marathon chemo session Wednesday Beccie has not been feeling too good this week....
