Hi All, Not much to report except that we are both somewhat better than we were. We both made it to art class this week, and it looks as if I will be OK for the choir competition this weekend. Weather is cool and damp but nothing like as cold as it was last week, so we can get the ambient temperature in the lounge up to 18 or 19, instead of 13 or 14. This makes a big difference!Friends have rallied round and invited us for the evening to warm up, and we had a lovely evening with Jackie and Mike Evans last night. Many thanks.

I had an exhausting hour this morning with the head of cultural services for the Denia region. He speaks absolutely no English (or at least pretends not to) so I was having to pitch a proposition to him in Spanish. I think it went well and it’s very good for improving one’s language quickly, but I came out feeling like wet lettuce! I’m now looking after four musical acts, so it is taking up more time and I can feel the wheels in the brain slowly beginning to turn again. Hope it hasn’t deteriorated beyond the point of no return, but after eighteen months doing not much you definitely notice a diminution of the little grey cells! All the Best, Andy
