December: a month of Spanish Practices and Displaced Moths!

As described previously during December one is never sure what will be open when, and when the kids will be off school. With the two official holidays of 6th and 8th falling on Tuesday and Thursday there is scope for not just "forming the bridge" but also expanding in either direction to weekends. Then things go quiet so it could be a good time for restaurants to take a holiday! Carefully negotiating our way around these obstacles we chose the 12th for our little "do" at Casa Manolo's.
There is not much to say about it - just good and relatively clean fun!



.. and what of the Moths? On September 1st Ruth launched the MoTh initiative. We had picked up the idea in Goa, where some Brits at The Office are practitioners, although the name is our own.  It involves making each Monday and Thursday alcohol-free, and Bob joined the club in October. Once here in Corralejo we have been discovering acceptable alternative drinks:- fruity things in the supermarkets and alcohol-free beer in bars. As the latter is known as a "sin" there is scope for plenty of puns!
Anyway - until December we managed total compliance by straight swaps of days , but we confess that we have had a net loss of two days across the not insubstantial festive period. Read on! Still... one day at a time!
