It was another sleepless night for me last night, as the summer really begins to bite here in Gran Alacant. By the time I got up, at 10am, I must have had about four hours sleep, which is standard for me these days.

Gemma was already awake when I got downstairs, which makes a change; she normally sleeps in longer than me. I think she is suffering from the strong Spanish sun, like us all.
I had quite a lot to do today, so didn't want to go too far. With two articles to finish and preparing for our next guest to arrive, when Gemma leaves on Wednesday, as well as opening the bar, LoungeD, this week, I have a rather packed agenda at the moment.

We decided to take a walk across the cliffs towards the lighthouse in Santa Pola and on to the Skywalk, with fantastic views over the mediterranean. We took Justin there when he came over last month; it is a popular tourist attraction in Gran Alacant.

​As usual, I refused to walk the entire length of the bridge; I have never been a fan of heights, and the Skywalk is certainly high above the cliff edge. Gemma seemed to enjoy the experience anyway, which gave both her and I perfect photo opportunities.
This afternoon Darrell and Gemma have been to the beach, just to give me some time to finish my writing, which does seem to be piling up, more and more at the moment. I am actually enjoying being busy and finally doing what I want to do, rather than what others demand, so life feels pretty good.

With Gemma asleep by the pool, Darrel and myself are cooking dinner this evening. A night by the box, watching Coronation Street, sat in front of the fan, with a can Mahou; perfect!
