The apartment is really nice – I love my big shady terrace.  I like my outdoor shower to rinse off when coming back from the beach.  I’m quite taken with the two young cats and the four small kittens who have introduced themselves and realised they are on to a good thing with the new resident in No 6 (yes, there is a box of Friskies in the cupboard under my sink already)

As I thought it would be, it is a really quiet spot – few roosters having a shout now and then but that was about it.

I woke at half-six and decided that I had to go and try for a swim.  It was just me.  It was fantastic.  The sun was just edging over the hills.  If I wake as early and do it again I’ll try and remember to take the camera.

Feeling at one with the world and totally virtuous I couldn’t help but catch a few more Zs when I got back, could I?

Did quite a big food shop yesterday and plan to do some meals in – Michael’s been telling me to eat more salad for some reason.
