It occurred to me just yesterday that I have completely forgot to blog this week. Then it hit me! What have I really got to say this week?
Its just all getting a bit "samey" isn't it (Is that a word?) I feel like we are living in Groundhog Day, every day is the same, even down to the faces you see walking down the street at a particular time of day. We are all just stuck in this world of limbo, unable to go anywhere and not knowing when things will change.
Anyway enough of this doom and gloom. On a lighter note we are now permitted to have live entertainment again...Hoorah. I was literally chomping at the bait last Friday when Eddie told me to get on stage and sing a few songs with the guitar. I didn't need to be asked twice! Monday was no different when we were entertaining at the Wine bar along with Jay Francis. I actually left there feeling like I´d been transported in to a world with no Covid restrictions and no problems. It was fabulous, even if it was only for a couple of hours and it just confirms the importance of music in peoples lives.
The weather has just been amazing this week. We´ve gone from having Storm Philomena with record breaking low temperatures and rainfall for this time of year, to record breaking high temperatures and it is just gorgeous. There´s nothing like a good vitamin D fix to motivate you and lift your spirits. I find it amazing how some people can sit in the sun for hours at a time, I can manage about thirty minutes before I begin to need some shade.
Los Gigantes, along with most of the island continues to be very quiet, although our loyal supporters are still continuing to visit us at the bar. We´ve started a new games night on Thursday evenings which is proving very popular. It also gives us the opportunity to raise some money for charity. There is a charity here called F.A.C.T (Fighting Against Cancer Tenerife) and they help people that are suffering with this awful disease. Whether it is providing transport to and from hospitals for treatment, or just someone to talk to, they are there and they provide a great support network for many people in on the island.
We were also sad to say goodbye to someone this week, Lauren, who we met at the wine Bar last year. She´s become a great friend but its now time for her to spread her wings and move on to the next chapter in her life. We will miss you and wish you all the luck in the world and look forward to seeing you when you return for holidays.
Until next time keep riding the storm and stay safe.
