Had a lovely day pottering in the garden, perfect weather about 26 - 28 with a breeze. Took Marina to the airport, popped into Shoppi for some comestibles and drove over to Mas D'Alzine to see if the open air pool is still open and joy of joys it is....
It was lovely having my (our) lovely friend Marina here. We have been friends since we were next door but one to each other in "Astbury" LADIES ( ahem) Halls of Residence at Chester Teacher Training College in 1973 ! The circumstances of our meeting make me cry laughing to this day. Suffice to say she taught me some words I had never said out loud, and I taught her how to drink.
I became very proficient at the skill she taught me but somehow Marina never graduated to my legendary dinking status. However she did once drink so much she walked down the LONG corridor in Astbury naked to wash her pyjamas in the communal bathroom wash basins. This caused much hilarity even if it was a Ladies only hall ( memories of Pete hiding in the wardrobe when we had fire alarms )..... Happy Days....I cannot believe how old we are... it really does seem like only yesterday ;-)
