Part-ay! 😁👍

Looks delicious Todd 😋👍

I sense a theme! 😁👍

Very handsome David 😊👍

Can you please make sure you have read post #1 👍👍 Happy to answer any questions regarding ordering by PM. With regard to Wright's, they have made knives with oxhorn. I seem to recall some mentions ramshorn in relation to Wright's, which surprised me as they've always previously refused to use it. They're not shy about making substitutions in my experience 🙄 TEW have used ramshorn for many years, though in it's polished state it would be hard to differentiate 👍

Good morning Guardians! 🙂👍

Fuelled by beans on toast, I set off early to walk to the market at the Rubicon Marina a couple of miles away. There didn't seem to be too much to it, so I walked on, all the way to the Playa Blanca port, where I got a taxi back. I took a load of photos with my camera, but only a few with my phone, and the three I took of Wee Staggy are all out of focus! 😖

Along the way, I had a strange encounter with a couple of Spanish lads in their late teens, I would guess, outside one of the Rubicon shopping centres. They hailed me in Spanish, addressing me as amigo, which seemed a little strange considering our age difference. After I spoke to them, they asked if I was English, and when I said yes, they both threw their arms up, saying "Yay! That's what we like! We love the English!" Then, they both shook my hand very warmly, wished me a good day in Spanish, and went off chatting excitedly! I thought maybe they had had a bet on my nationality or something! 😁

No shortage of English people at Playa Blanca, which is a lot more touristy than where I'm staying. I did think about having lunch, but they were still serving breakfast at 12! 😁 Just going to eat now 😉 Have a good day everyone 👍

Sounds like you are found a fine place to recharge your batteries Jack.

That does seem odd. Pretty ineffectual as villainy, though, which is always my first guess.

I had to google the obvious: they make a a sand-pad crutch/cane tip for use on sand.

Thanks Todd, it's more scenic in the area closer to my hotel. I'm hoping I get a few decent pics, with the very bright sunshine, and my photochromic lenses, it's nigh on impossible to see anything more than my reflection in the camera screen! 🙄😁👍

Yeah, I had my camera in my hand, but it was connected to my wrist. It seemed like a pretty public place for villainy too 👍 That's cool Jer, I did think about bring a ski-pole, but the sections were just too long to go in my suitcase😖

Here's my walk, from the Sandos Papagayo to the port. Not sure how long it was, as there's no scale on the map! 😖 Pic is too large to upload though! 😖

I have a few pair of those. I've been using this short one for our few ice days so far, though I have proven myself capable of falling on ice even with two sharp-toed trekking poles.

My first attempt at making mincemeat pies for Christmas this morning. My Mother always made these for Christmas and now that's she's gone I figured I would give it a try.

Making the shortcrust dough was pretty easy, I did that yesterday. Rolling it out and filling is a bit fussy but also not too hard.
