Farewell Drinks - 2 Days To Go!

---

Zest

Two days and counting!  There are only a few days left, before Darrell leaves for Australia.  Yesterday evening we went to our local and favourite pub, Zest, for drinks with friends and for Darrell to say farewell, to a group of people we can both, proudly call friends.  It was a fabulous night, as always from perfect hosts Brett and Lee.  I know Darrell will be sad to leave all these people behind!  

This is a video we took last night,  The least rude out of all of them.  Yes the word penis comes up, but I think it is totally acceptable in the year 2016.  The video is of Chloe and her lovely sister Emily.  Two gorgeous friends from Sierra Mar.

​By the time we left Zest , Darrell was smashed to say the least and steadily getting worse!

We went to La Piedra afterwards for a few drinks, where my dear husband got worse and worse and worse.  Now, as it's his last few days, living in Spain I did make allowances, but as a rule I can't stand him when he is drunk, I don't think any partner likes their other half, when they have had too much to drink.  In the end, myself and Jamie left Darrell in Andy's capable hands. as I had a feeling I was going to knock him out at any stage!

Shopping

I am happy to report, that myself and Jamie did alright for the first time shopping for food in Spain.   Actually that isn't strictly true, we have shopped before, but not on our own.  We managed to get everything we needed.  Jason was driving for now, however next week that is down to Jamie and I don't mind telling you, I think we are in for a bumpy ride!

Trying to wake up Jamie in the morning is an impossibility at times.  This is the state I found him in, after he had three glasses of wine last night.  At least he was alive.

​Had to get him up early, as we both had to go on a shopping trip, to buy our own provisions for a change.  To be honest Darrell usually does the weekly shop, but with him leaving, we had to do it ourselves!

Lidl

Mine and Jamie's shopping list, is slightly different to that of Darrell's.  We could both survive on just eating Marmite on a permanent basis.  Marmite and coke, is top of our things to buy.  It cost 68€ at Lidl for a couple of weeks.  I have actually become a canny shopper since leaving the UK, able to survive on a fraction of what I used to spend in Britain.  I would think nothing of spending 120 pounds a week and used to throw half of what I brought away.  If anything, since moving to Spain, I have learned to become a lot more frugal and resourceful, just like the Spanish.  I would advise everyone to change their life at one time or another, it is great for the soul and teaches us many things we never knew we could achieve.  We haven't done too badly for now!
​

Just off out to dinner with Darrell, so I am going to call it a day for now and will do some more blogging later on this evening.  Hope you all have a good day.  

Finally, happy Brighton Pride today, to all my British friends, have a few drinks for me, be thinking of you all! 

​Peace and Love always!
