"Catch of the day" from Algarve

[Mel]

There are differences between the hoopoes? Oh well, you never know what you don't know...

Lovely scenery again and even if the sun chairs were rotten, it seems they were still comfy enough for the SO.

[Lisbeth]

And for me too! I am slowly growing a light tan, even in the middle of winter

[Flutterby]

Such lovely pics Lis...from the old buildings, to the sea, and the birds...and the food!

[Lisbeth]

Flutty It is really a lovely place and having spring in Jan/Feb is fantastic. We have only had about a week with cool weather around 10/12 degrees so all in all no winter

At 09:30 we went to the TaviraClinic in order to have Fa visited by a dermatologists. He has a lot of strange red spots, that looked like *bites" all red and burning which to me looked like bites of a flea It turned out to be shingles even worse anyhow our business!

Consolation a nice fresh fish to put on our garden braai





It did not cure the shingles, but it did give a certain satisfaction, because it was delicious!!

[Dewi]

And what flavour of fresh fish was that delicious looking lunch Lis?

I can't go to my fishmonger tomorrow and ask for something that I don't know what it is. (I do know garlic prawns though. )

Hope the shingles clear up quickly. Poor Fa. I'm sure a drop or two of the amber nectar will cheer him up no end though.

Yesterday we went to book for this evening at a nice small place on the main street.......booked out until Monday, so we booked for today at 13:00.

It was a beautiful day, almost hot (20°) and not a cloud in the sky, but even more important, no wind. to make a long story short................



Wild shrimps in garlic sauce





Also these without head, RP?

This one was a "simple" Sea bream ( all the high quality fish are called "Sea bream in English, but if you know them, like we do, they are quite different, if for nothing else for the price )

Fa has 2 ....or 3 drops of the amber nectar every evening and I wonder if that might be the cause it does cheer him up though and make him sleep like an angel

again a fabulous meal

and catch of the day... from the pan

[Lisbeth]

Looks very nice, nan I might even exchange the meal, but not the weather Only three weeks left! I hope that the temperatures will behave
