Such a lazy day today. Have been living like a gypsy for the past four weeks so it was a treat to use the washing machine and get all my clothes properly clean. Blowing a gale here so a great drying day until the pots on the roof terrace started blowing over and smashing! Hard to sunbathe in a force twelve and gusting but I did my best until it got too dangerous :)
Betty and I finally got the flavoured oils made this afternoon: herb, chili and garlic. She's been making really good jams and preserves recently so I had promised to give her some tips for oils and vinegars. Crochet lesson tomorrow - I've already made a cushion which looks a bit lonely on the new sofa (so I've been told)- I haven't the time left to make another so someone else is going to have to make it, like it or not :))
I had to make a decision today: stay on until June and the wedding or go home as planned at the weekend. The first option: sooo tempting. More opportunities to travel - would love to go back to Oaxaca for a week or two; the Gulf Coast before it gets too hot; Michoacan while the Monarch butterflies are there; back to San Miguel for a month. Downside: problems with travel insurance, would need to extend my visa to stay past 16th June, two plastic cards expiring at the end of this month and, the clincher: non refundable, non changeable (is that a word?) return ticket. To get back, one way, at the end of June, same route - KLM via Schipol: US$2,300!!! Also missing my friends back home now so have made the correct decision - fly home on Sunday. However, lots more still to do here so..... more later x
