Benicassim - Bonterra Park - 03/03/2020

Tuesday, 3rd March 2020.

A cloudy start, but, mild at 13C, rather windy. 

We set off on a cycling session, dressed for 13C, by 11:30 it is 21C, the wind has dropped, and, we are rather overdressed. A cooling beer is necessary. We manage just under 13 miles (12.99 to be precise), which, we reassure ourselves, is not bad, as a first serious outing in several weeks.

I suspect we are going to be here for some weeks.

A lazy afternoon, reading and sitting in the sun.

Wednesday, 4th March 2020.

Similar to yesterday, weatherise, cloudy start, but, calm and warm 21C by 11:00.

Another cycling session, 14.88 miles today, but, more suitably dressed.

Thursday, 5th March 2020.

It looks as if the daily weather report is going to become boring, cloudy start, warm 22C by 11:00, but, windy.

I needed a haircut, before leaving home, so, Kathleen is pressed into service, with the hair trimmers, grumbling continually, of course, that it is yet another job for her. It takes all of ten minutes.

The next task brings about an interesting observation. 

I carry all of my "ablutions equipment, ie soap, razor, nail clippers, deodorant, shaving foam, etc etc" in a small bag, it measures about 8" * 6" * 3".

After the major task of cutting my hair (remember, all of ten minutes it took), Kathleen sets off to "the facilities" for hair washing session, she has an ASDA "bag for life" of "gear ie shampoo, conditioner etc etc etc". The bag is stuffed full, and, that is excluding the straighteners, hair dryer etc. 

Two hours later, it is all done.

True, I did not have to actually do anything, except of course make complimentary remarks, when she was finished.

Thursday is market day, in Benicassim, so, we stroll along to the market place, shortly before lunch. Since she has "nothing to wear", a pair of shorts are bought by Kathleen, who also tries on numerous hats, nothing suits.

On our way back from the Market we call at the EuroMart (which everyone, very Politically Incorrectly) refers to as the "Chinese Shop", a new table cloth, folding stool, and a pair of Steak Knives, are acquired.

The rest of the day is spent in idleness, lazing in the sun.
