I could hear a phone ringing in the distance.........Oh no I've slept in for work......then I open my eyes and realise I’m on holiday!! Next thought….someone has died. Yes the Pope had died the day before but don’t think anyone would phone to tell us that. It was some sad news that the other family – who were due to arrive later than day, were still in Glasgow. Passport problems. The long and short of it was they wouldn’t be here till maybe Tuesday. Well, everyone felt a bit flat after this news. We didn’t have any real plans today – so we all agreed to just have a day in the villa, at the pool.
So this was the kids today – another 5 still to come!!!

We went out for a short time to the supermarket at Formosa Gardens Shopping Centre. Is it a Winn-Dixie?? Not 100% sure. Bought more crisps, fruit, WINE!!!!!, BEER!!!!!. Then we got Subs for lunch from Subway. Made some jam sandwiches for the kids, and everyone was happy!!! I must tell you about this most delicious wine I had today (and several other days......) ;) . White Merlot, from Ernest and Julio Gallo Twin Valley Label. Now I LOVE Californian Rose wine, White Zinfandel, White Grenache etc. This was really nice. Sweet, and quite dark for a rose, but very easy to drink……hic!

So a very restful day was spent around the pool and jacuzzi…..gorgeous weather again, mid 70’s, no clouds. :sunny: Tan coming along nicely! The pool was quite private, with some wooded area at the back. I felt very rested and relaxed, and to be honest in no hurry to get to the parks!!!!
We decided to stay local and head to TGI Fridays at Formosa Shopping Centre for dinner. Usual TGI’s layout and food. I had a steak, Tony had a Cobb Salad, Anthony had macaroni and Christopher had pizza. Nice food – but nothing out of the ordinary.
We headed home for a game of cards. This became the nightly routine once the kids went to bed. Playing a card game called Benny. I’d never heard of it before, but it is such a laugh, especially after a few sherbets!!!!!
