We had a few drinks down Zest, last night, Nigel also joined us, our newest member of The No Wives Club. I haven't seen Paul and Michele for a while; I have been hibernating in this dreadful Spanish winter weather, so it was great to catch up with them.

It was good to get out of the house for a change, talking and chatting, trying to put the world to rights, moaning about the Spanish and the current meteorological conditions, battering Spain; I even did a little bit of hand reading, something I don't do that often these days. As ever, I had a wonderful evening, with fabulous friends!

It was nice to spend time with those members of the 'No Wives Club', who were currently in Spain, last night.  Truthfully, I don't get out an awful lot these days, as finances remain extremely tight.  It is important to spend quality time with other people, especially during challenging days, so yesterday I relented and had a wonderful evening, at The Pub in Masa Square!

I just wanted to say a few words about friendships. When living abroad, in a community such as the one I live in, it is important to forge new friendships. With out 'The No Wives Club' and other friends I have had the pleasure of meeting, life here would have been more difficult than it is already. When Darrell left, it was more important than ever to bond with others, akin to family. I have rarely met such a great, generous bunch of characters in my lifetime; hold on to the precious times spent together!

My thoughts are with you!
