Yes, this is what our lives have come to! We go through the week with relative ease and then Wednesday hits and the waiting game begins...... awaiting our next move which occurs on a Thursday. It can occur at anytime on a Thursday ranging from early afternoon to late evening.
The last couple of weeks they have left us in level three which we can deal with. Its not ideal but its ok and we can continue to keep our little bar open. It's the unknown, and the fear of what "might" happen and what further restrictions they out on us that puts us on edge every Wednesday. We have become Pemptiphobic! (The fear of Thursdays!)
We had a great day off this week. After sorting out some admin and delivering some paperwork to where it had to be, we decided the beach was the only place for us to be on a hot Tuesday afternoon.
I do love a dip in the sea, so Las Vistas beach was our destination for a couple of hours. We parked our car underneath the Vista Sur apartments, and for a couple of euros its worth doing as free spaces in the area are about as easy to find as rocking horse dung.
We stopped for a drink on the prom first, just taking in the view. We had been down this way at the weekend and I was curious to see the difference between a weekday and the weekend.
The weekend was very busy, the beach was packed but the bars and restaurants were virtually deserted. I'm guessing the weekend was mainly residents having a day out family and friends, cool boxes were in abundance so people were probably picnicking on the beach.
Yesterday however was different! The beach was much quieter but people were using the cafes and restaurants.
Many cafes and restaurants are still currently closed which does suggest that its still very quiet, but there are signs of life and more tourists are beginning to arrive. You only have to look at the airport arrivals and there are many more planes coming in than there were before.
The ongoing rules are still making it very confusing and just the other night people walked in the bar, and because The UK has lifted most of the restrictions they thought the same had happened here. Sadly this is not the case and we still have many restrictions including mask wearing and capacity numbers both indoors and out doors.
As far as the UK is concerned France has now turned in to an amber plus country which means those returning to the UK now have to isolate for ten days and take tests whether they are double jabbed or not. We hope that they leave us alone as we are still on Amber!
So, here we are, its Wednesday and we wait and see what happens once again. We wait in anticipation and hope that they will leave us alone for another week and not put us on level four. We once again keep everything crossed!
I end this blog with a thank you! a random act of extreme kindness that was shown to us just last night. You know who you are and we thank you x
Until next time
