The first week of 2008

The last seven days have gone by so quickly. Friends from London, Chinot & Al plus their three kids Callum, Euan (my godson) and Nicola were in Marbella from last Thursday till this evening. The weather cooperated and we had warm sunny days which we spent at the indoor pool and just hanging out.

On their first evening in Marbella, we had dinner at home and had Hainanese Chicken Rice and a coconut-lime creme brulee for dessert. The following evening was Chinot's brithday so the kids stayed at home with us and had pizza while Chinot & Al had a quiet dinner together at Asador Guadalmina, one of our favorites. We had a seafood paella on the third night and went for some grilled Argentine meat at Clerico for dinner yesterday which was very good as usual. Today, did a bit of shopping at El Corte Ingles and took advantage of the weather and sat at the beach in Puerto Banus while the kids played.

It's back to school tomorrow morning plus it's my son's 6th birthday so there's cupcakes to be made and his party to be organized for Friday so here's to another busy week ahead.
