Day Off!

---

Darrell and I had a day off together on Friday, which is rare these days, so we decided to spend the day at Zest, having a tipple or two.  The weather was particularly cloudy, so it was ideal to just stay in doors and have a few bevies.

I've started to drink Bloody Mary's here, as opposed to pints of lager.  I was starting to put on weight to be honest.  After a little bit of internet research, I discovered the best alcoholic beverage for me, was a Bloody Mary.  Low fat and includes one of your five a day.  I was going to drink vodka and tonic, but stomaching tonic is more than I can bare!

Lee was cooking for a coach of thirty, who went on an excursion to cartagena, organised by Zest.  

Cartagena is a port city and naval base in the Murcia region of southeast Spain, founded by the Carthaginians around 220 B.C.E. The Muralla Púnica interpretation center houses the remains of a 3rd-century B.C.E. defensive wall. Among its many Roman ruins are a 2nd-century B.C.E. theatre and Casa de la Fortuna, a villa with murals and mosaics.

I would have loved to have gone there myself, but at the moment I have no idea when I have a day off.  After looking at the pictures online, we will certainly be going there during the summer!

Lee cooked some Tapas and other nibbles, whilst getting through eight bloody Mary`s, which is the equivident of thirty two English measures.

Surprisingly I was OK, and didn't get drunk, unlike Darrell, who was completely smashed as they say and had to be carried home by Jamie.  Jim was back for a week also.  Jamie and myself, met Jim, when we first moved to Spain and he was spending a week here in Gran Alacant.  Jim is a good kid and it was nice to see him.  

Woke up this morning, feeling peachy, with no hangover.  Have to work tonight and Sunday, so no more alcohol for me!  The sun is out today, Darrell has the weekend off and Jamie has just left for his shift, so some valuable me time for me, before work at 7pm.

Peace and Love, Always!
