Yesterday, Easter Monday, was still a dull day so a good day to join my friends and local residents Mark & Naomi for a day out at Sinnods Bar fund raising event for the local cats protection league with the La Manga locals. (Jo Taylor via fc/bk if wanting to know more). This turned out to be a very different day to my normal solo lifestyle where I am rarely involved in local community activities. Hey! But what a fun day it was. Raffles, tombola, bingo, kareoky & delicious chilli con carne en mass. Simba, Mark & Naomi's aging labrador came too and became a kareoky star by barking almost at all the right parts for 'Who let the dogs out' by 'The Baha Men. It was hilarious. I'm afraid there was no duet with Tanya. She was, as she did all day, determinedly walking the floor hoovering for left overs and getting strokes from everyone.
I won a prize too. A lovely, and I will here gender neutralize said prize, unisex silvery grey leather bag which became our 'go to' storage facility in particular for the star prize won by a delighted Naomi herself. This was a voucher inviting a full meal out for two at a high reputation Italian restaurant already a top priority on Naomi's list of planned nights out.
Classic Highlight of the day though had to be both Mark, whose birthday it was, and Naomi, unbeknown to each other, bidding against each other to successfully secure a beautifully made and decorated chocolate Easter cake. The single candle (no clues there) was, with ceremony blown out by Mark and gorgeous looking cake was soon being carved up & distributed to all. A welcome dessert course after the Chilli Con Carne even for the two sisters on their high bar stools who happened to be the esteemed Easter cake creators, makers and decorators. Excellent cake it was too.
Boy were Tanya and I tired when we finally arrived back at Rap3 tucked up in the dark safe and sound by the beach.
