Happy Lazyness

It's one of these perfect lazy Sundays. I don't feel like I have to do anything I don't feel like doing. I slept in until 11. I ran on the tredmill for 3 kms. I cleaned the house a little. Miguel was studying all morning and now feeling ready for a break and something to eat.

We knew that today was 'Romaria' in Rota. I'm still not sure what it is, but it's a left over from Semana Santa. Anyway, we decided to walk to 'Los Pinos' the area just in front of our cul-de-sac, where a forest full of pinetrees divide the road and the beach. There was where heaps of people were gathering to eat the tipical foods and drinks during festivals. We walked around a bit, but feeling left out and not in the mood for partying, we headed back home, bought ourselves 2 liters of beer (Cruzcampo, ofcourse) and some firestarters for the BBQ-for-two-party we wanted to make.

Realizing we didn't have enough charcoal, we hopped in our car and headed out for the gasstation to buy some more. Halfway down the road I opted the use the electric grill instead and we both agreed that would save us the hassle of lighting a BBQ while our hunger grew.
Back at home, all the usual preparing went on. Defrosting the meat, the bread. Heating up the grill that we had put outside on the gardentable with an extension cable. Making a salad. Ow, music, we need music. While figuring out how to use my Ipod on the surround system, my meat got a little burned. You know, the usual stuff.

Once organized, we sat in the sun, eating our grilled meat sandwiches and looking at the dogs happily enjoying the fact of spending time with us at this side of the garden. We recently fenced off some part of the garden as the dog make huge holes and pee everywhere and we wanted to be able to have a BBQ or a lie in the sun without smelling a whiff or dogpee.

As Miguel is studying hard to become a prison guard and he wants to get on the same level as the rest of the (advanced) class, he soon decided it was time for him to go back to studying and I stayed behind in the garden reading an english novel that my friend left behind, acompanied by Gacho, our male dobermann.

After my tanning spot hit the shades, I decided it was time to go inside and leave the dishes for what they are and continue to read my book inside on our new and ever so comfortable sofa.

So now it is almost 9 and time to think about dinner. Miguel has already opted for another BBQ tonight, and we have still one liter of beer left. As I'm writing this blog, drinking a coffee, he comes to see me and ask if I want to go for a walk to the beach. We do this very often and it is very relaxing. When you come home from a small walk you just feel so happy and slightly tired and cosy and all you want is cuddle up on the sofa watching an episode of Gossip Girls or House.

And this is exactly what we'll be doing tonight!
