Lately it’s felt like all work and no play. I’ve been trying to catch up with a long translation job, keep up with the blogs, and get issue 4 of Ruido up on the website before last night’s launch party. The trouble was, all three things were computer jobs, so I’ve sat in this chair far too much, and for the first time in my life I’ve had aching shoulders. Finishing the ironing pile and tidying up the guest room just enough didn’t help.
It was really nice to finish up with Ruido in time to go out for a walk to Cancajos yesterday. We were just in time to catch the end of the classical concert. It was rather windy, so they’d moved from the promenade ampitheatre to just outside the Tourist Office. The light was lovely, so we went for a short walk along the sea-front.
We didn’t get far before my son needed the loo, so we headed back to the shopping centre. Now our favourite cake shop had shut down some months ago, but we could see people up there, so we had to investigate. It’s open again with new owners. Well of course we wanted to test, and I talked the others into having cream cake for dinner, just this once. Yup, the new people also make a great cream cake. They even have a lovely baby girl to coo at.
Then there was just time to go home, change, and go out to the Ruido fiesta. The first group – Susy Rodríguez and Pedro were good. The second group, No Rula, were great.

I took photos and video for the Ruido website, and you can see the best here. after the concert we ate kebabs and took a taxi home.
