Heat, heat and more heat!!

As you can probably tell from the title of this blog. Its hot!!! over the next few days its going to get hotter and hotter, probably unbearably so! I get it, its July, however after 20 years of living in Spain you never get used to it! although when we lived in Mallorca we did have the amazing storms to look forward to in September, something that rarely happens here.
"You must be used to the heat" people say
In a nutshell, no you don´t get used to it. The only way I can explain it is this......when its so bitterly cold and miserable in the UK you stay indoors, well its the same here, only the other end of the scale. Its too hot. Do as little as you can, stay cool and don´t go out, unless you have a nice pool you can plunge in to and nothing to do for a few hours!
Its been a busy weekend at the bar, and a fun one. Lots of supportive locals and it almost felt like it did before lock down. 
Disinfecting the chairs after anyone sits on them is a pain, especially when customers decide they are going to sit and have a conversation with folk sat at every table! Still, its par for the course post Covid and has to be done. Don´t forget to always have a mask too as this is Spanish law and if you don´t have one you may be asked to leave the premises although many places do have them should you need to buy one. Its just one more thing on that checklist when you go out, you know the drill....keys, phone, glasses, sunglasses, money...........mask!!!! That´s the one!
Its certainly strange times at the moment, we now have an entire day off on a Monday, we can go wherever we like on the island. Now that we can go anywhere we don´t really know where to go. I had a craving for some Spanish tapas so off we went to Playa San Juan and the tapas bar we like down there was closed, we decided to try one in Alcala, we found one but there were no spare seats. Off to Playa De La Arena and the two that Eddie had in mind were both closed. By now we have given up, we shot in to Lidl (it was nice and cool) bought the ingredients went home and had tapas on the couch under the fan and very nice it was too.
We are now able to do karaoke in the bar, although the mics have to be sanitized after every singer and we have disposable mic shields. it worked well and it was nice to welcome back some of our loyal singers over the weekend. We also hosted our weekly quiz from the bar and broadcast it all over Facebook too. 
It was also great to see Old Dogs back doing what they do best at The Green Corner!
We´ll do it all again this week.
