    Tuesday Morning: Very windy, mostly sunny, feels cold even though it's 17C - I have no idea how we would cope in the UK temperatures. The wind must be blowing the red dust around becuae I keep having sneezing fits and a blocked nose, in fact I haven't been right for the whole month having suffered from some sort of flu and a chesty cough the whole time, which is only slowly improving.

    As it was Easter Monday     yesterday, there were quite a few visitors to the plaza. Spanish families tend to visit the plaza during these holiday weekends and often sit and eat and play ball games, some even let off fireworks.



    Tammy and Lucy     keep watch from the kitchen terrace.....



    Growling like a dog    , Tammy spots some "intruders"



    Amber     joins in too.....



    Later there was a little black dog     in the garden barking at the cats, when I went chase it away I saw a kite flying very close, I soon realised it was flying from the bancale, so I went to invstigate.



    It turned out to be Javea and Maria     from the restaurant, with their family. I thought it was nice they felt they could come here and fly their kite, after all as Javea pointd out, this is the only place in Pinos with enough space and no trees..... At least there is no chance of me wanting to fly at the same time!



    Here's a picture     from the other day, an orange moon rises over the Med, the lemon tree is lite by the plaza lights.....
