What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 670

My real Workdesk, gentle reader, is piled high with files and month end paraphernalia and stuff that got dumped on it whilst I had family staying last week. Because the work-room has a door on it and is too small to use for any other reason, people stayed out of it and I was able to close the door and walk away from it. I did too. Packed a bag and as I write, I’m in Spain. 
It’s been chilly, very windy and rainy since we got here. We’ve dodged showers and been out and about, a bit of food shopping and some wonderful squally beach walks that soaked us from sea, wind and rain…loved it. Yesterday I caved in a paid for a rain hat. Within an hour, the skies had cleared and we spent all afternoon sitting in the sun. So sorry, if I’d known that it was just about me buying a waterproof hat, I’d have done it on Sunday morning!  Most bizarre weather, but the change is very welcome!  Today’s plan is to return to the village where we took this photo and sit on the beach, one of our favourites on this particular Costa. Thank you all for your messages and comments about Mum’s funeral. It was hard, but lovely; there was a lot of love floating around and your messages were a big help to me. I have since crashed and burned, but am now revelling in the memories as they pop up. And they do…sometimes they hit you like a wave, and sometimes, they creep into a conversation. I love them and they are not making reel anymore, which is a positive that I’m grateful for.
I am utterly distracted by the sunshine, so please only expect me at your place if you see me. The Internet at this resort is good, so I make no excuses other than…well, sunshine!

  9. Heehee I’m chuckling Julia as at least we didn’t have to go to the trouble of getting on a plane for our holiday and to have the same weather. Hope the sun gets his hat on for you my lovely and you can relax in its warmth. Take care

  12. You did exactly right, the best thing, get away - and even better, enjoy the sunshine. I hope and pray the sun stays out for the rest of your visit. Get your batteries recharged, take walks in wild wind or sit in complete sunshine. Just keep holding hands and relax.
    Hugs to you both

  14. So glad you could get away for a break Julia. That is just what would happen to me if I bought a rain hat 🀣. Still, you could bring it home with you. We could do with some sun here, too. Enjoy yourselves and take care.
    Hugs
