Weather Predictions

The problem with Weather Predictions is that you can never rely on them. They said on the Weather Channel that the high would be in the mid sixties this week, which we confess we thought was on the little mild side. Of course in reality that must be the Temperature in the Shade. Our little Cabriolet, the Black Peugeot 307 has a temperature gage and at no point yesterday did she say it was below 85. So we did exactly what English people are supposed to do, according to the saying, Only Mad Dogs & English Men go out the mid day sun and clearly we are both English and Mad, so count on hands.

Yesterday as it was cloudy to start with we decided to venture from our luxury surrounds and to make our way to the nearest towns, both Villamoura & Faro.

Villamoura being a Port Town and filled with condominums and was so filled with English football shirt bearing types (Brits abroad) that you could practically be anywhere on the planet. Infact we would rather be anywhere on the planet thank you very much. So we stopped to pick up very inexpensive Champagne, White Port, Baileys & Ammeretto to enjoy poolside at the Villa and headed back, via the supermarket to get some fresh fruit & veg and enjoyed yet another day of chiling by the pool.

Woke up this morning to a scattering of Cloud, Emily Took off for a 45 minute Run around the resort, while I opened some more champagne for Brunch and listened to GAYDAR RADIO. Its funny, you can be thousands of miles from home but thanks to modern technology you can feel at home with the familiar sounds of fabulous music and your favourite DJs. Gosh I am sounding like a Sponsor here.

As the weather was a little cooler we headed to the Praca for a round of Crazy Golf and then onto the beach front bar for a round of Cocktails and some Chips. Gosh, maybe we are like Brits Abroad too? Never! Clearly not, for we are Lucky Bitches and never are clad in football colours. Ok, so we might be known to hang out with Victoria & David but thats as far as it goes. Oh, talking of football, did we mention that Vale do Lobo is going to the vacation choice of the English Football team as of the 15th May. Sorry boys, we beet you to it. Kind of glad though, we felt, even playing Crazy Golf that people were watching and taking photos. This weird chap, who could easily have been called a Pervert was watching us playing golf and standing in a close proximity that would make anyone uneasy.

So we retreated, once again, to the safety of the Villa. To write some postcards and settled down to an afternoon of DVD entertainment in the style of Mrs Henderson Presents. She steals the show and mind you, Will Young & Bob Hoskins are preety cool too.

Going to have a quiet evening now and get up early to maybe go visit Faro Market tomorrow.

Till then from Emily & I, enjoy a Sangria on us! X Neil & Emily Cadmor'e Court Saint Court. x
