In two days time I shall be "de Rogriguez" again. I'm looking forward to it, not that I'm planning any "hanky-panky".
10 days "home alone" will be just fine.
I have things to do.

What's on the horizon?
After I drop Rita off at Sevilla airport, I shall be heading for the El Puerto de Santa Maria area on the Cadiz coast. I only recently discovered this part of the world and I love it there.
I'm also going on a press trip to the Axarquia! This area to the east of Malaga City is the home of wine, olives and the writer Chris Stewart, although he is not on the programme for the day.
Our English friends Ian and Christine will be spending their customary fortnight in Nerja at the start of September, so a visit to see them is also on the cards.

At home
I plan to fin
ish off work in the garden, including the newly pergola-ed terrace outside our bedroom, completing the renovation work to the side of the house, and putting the finishing touches to my "man-cave" at the back of the garden.

And tidying up before my period "de Rodriguez" comes to an end on September 8th.
