One of those days that remind you why you moved to Spain!

Have you missed me? I haven't been around much lately because I've been pretty busy. I have a new writing job, working for someone in La Marina writing articles and rewriting website content. I love the job, but it takes up 20 hours a week, on top of my regular freelance work, so it hasn't left much time to keep the blog updated. Hopefully, I'll soon be able to organise my time a little better, and I can spend more time here.
On top of everything else, we're looking after our friends' two Miniature Schnauzers while they visit their family in the UK. Well, by the time I'd finished my work and fed the dogs this evening, I realised that I had the whole weekend free, with no writing that needed attention, so when we walked the dogs, we decided to make a pit stop at one of the bars at the top of the urbanisation. We met a couple of friends on the way, and they joined us. However, we never made it as far as the bars, because our friend Erik, who owns the bodega I wrote about here was just closing up for the evening.
Although we've been back in Spain for 5 weeks, we still hadn't managed to catch up with Erik and his partner Roma, as so much had been going on since we got back. Roma said, 'It's party time!' and Erik fetched the glasses and some wine. The six of us enjoyed a few drinks and a catch up, and Roma brought out some hand made sweets from Lithuania for us to try. It was a spontaneous party, and it reminded us - not that we needed it - that Spain is a great place to live!
