Breakfast in the city
Today we started out with a chilled out walk to the Roman ruins in the city. We stopped off in La Canasta Bakery on the way and bought a warm cheese & ham croissant to share for breakfast. I had packed a flask of coffee and two cups (Pigsy mugs of course!) so we sat on a bench and enjoyed the surroundings while eating and drinking in the sun. It was beyond nice and probably a luxury because we won't be able to do it when the tourists return to town as this area is normally thronged with people.
After our breakfast al fresco we then sauntered back home with Ciaran going on ahead to the apartment while I stopped off in the shops for some water and cheese. When I got home, Ciaran was working away on the computer so I did some social media work.
Speak & Learn
At 11.45am we then quickly got in to some Spanish online tutorials and did them until about 12.45pm before we went to our 1st Wednesday Group Spanish lesson. It is with the same teacher from Speak & Learn that we do the class on Tuesday with. Today we could do face to face because the location where it was on is open during the day before the Covid restrictions set in at 6pm.
No Piqui, Malaga
Our Spanish lesson was on in a cafe called "No Piqui" which I had been interested in visiting having seen it on some of our walks around town. Both Ciaran and I thought it had a Californian hipster vibe to it with the menu having salads, burgers and burritos on it.
It was great to have a face to face lesson and I think with a second one every week it will really help us get somewhere with learning the language. Fingers crossed!!
Enid great to hear of your adventures and youre not wasting one second, between language learning and social media work and padel oh and of course taste-testing tapa! Tough out there, it seems! ;) love that Phoenix rising painting, its stunning and so ebullient with colour vibrancy and optimism. Hope Ciaran is getting loads of new work done too. Just checked the Pigsy website, it's fantastic
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! I love "Phoenix Rising" too - think it might be my favourite Pigsy piece - the message within is so hopeful for the times we are in :-)
