Beautiful weather. Summer's here, with temperatures in the high 80's°F daily.
We're both well.
Jane's working in Gibraltar and I'm working hard on the new Gibraltar website.
Rosie and Domingo are living behind the house.
I walk them at around lunchtime up to a wild flower meadow a couple of minutes away for them to feed. I bring them back at sunset.
All the cats are having fun with warm nights and plenty to hunt, mainly bugs and (unfortunately) lizards.
The dogs are well too. Ferdy continues to slow up but he's fourteen later this year so it's expected.
On Saturday Jane left me. She's gone back to England. I'm not sure how I'll cope without her. Before she went she bought me a weeks supply of beer so I guess that I'll be alright. Plus there's football and a Grand Prix on ... also I've got all those DVD's to watch. Of course I'll be working most of the time ...
It's Jane's father Bob's 80th Birthday. So this trip has been secretly planned by Jane and her sister Carol for a few months.
It's going to be a surprise when Bob and Esther arrive at Carol's house in Dorset.
Jane will be back next Saturday unless the pleasures of shopping Primark and Matalan seduce her into staying in the cold & windy UK.
Before she left Jane took her camera to Gibraltar (Thursday 19th June 2008).
Street Entertainer.
Main Street looks busy.
Lots of tourists enjoying the sunshine, fish n' chips, British pub food and a pint of decent beer.
A quiet corner away from the masses in Casemates.
I got a phone call on Saturday evening from Jane saying she had arrived safely at Carol's house.
Trips to the shops are planned tomorrow.
I plan to work ... with the odd break for football matches & the French Grand Prix.
