Pool Days

Pool Days (Lucky Bitches)

We had both set a Curfew of 10:00am as the latest point in which to wake up. After all we didn’t come all this way to just sleep in and miss all of the sunshine. Emily was already out and lying on a sun lounger by the time I woke at 0930.

We decided that a quick drive with the Top down on the 307 of the complex (Vale do Lobo – Europe Finest Resort (Click on the word POOL DAYS above for More info on Vale do Lobo)Emily not being used to driving on the Right Hand side of the road and not a regular driver in London, it would give her some practice on quiet private Roads. We started our way to reception so that I could get a New Copy of my “Family Card” given us discounts at the Supermarket & Restaurants”

We drove the outskirts of the complex looking at the beaches & facilities on the way and coming back in full circle via the Supermarket to stock up on a Big Shop of essentials such as Wine, Champagne and all the usual sort of nibble that you like to indulge on while away.

We were back at the Villa by 11:00 in time for Brunch in the Sunshine. Covered ourselves in Factor 8 and sat out by the pool for much of the day. Only stopping to open a Bottle of wine or grab some nibbles. Have you ever noticed how hard work sitting in the sun can be? At one stage I dozed off, only waking at 630 as the sun was going down from my lounger. A little Bronzed, a little reddened I retreated to the Shower & a smothering of Aloe Vera after sun before settling in for the night and our own Party for Two “The Grand Welcoming Celebrations” As Emily & I made Vegetarian Fajitas & sipped on Rose Champagne while sat around the lit gas fire watching (am I the last person on the planet to see this) Broke€back Mountain, which I had purchased on the way to watch out here. What a sweet story but really quite sad. Makes you realize how lucky we are to be gay and live the wonderful lives of acceptance that we can in the 21st Century.

Whether it was the sunshine, the champagne or just the fact that were so relaxed I don’t know, but Emily had passed out on the couch by 930PM and slept for a full twelve hours. I watched the end of the movie, had a Night Cap of Jack Daniels Single Barrel and tucked myself in for a good nights rest cos tomorrow is yet another day of indulgence for us Lucky Bitches – as Emily Algarve Cardmor’e Court and the Baron Borchard do “Lucky Bitches in the Sun” Hola.
