Good day, bad day

October gets off to a good start with a late breakfast of Shreddies with fresh milk, a spoonful of sugar and a generous dusting of Cinnamon with lashings of black coffee on the side to fuel this beautiful and sunny Saturday morning.

Late afternoon snack attack is an Emmental on brown bread sandwich and this packet

of small and tasty chocolate biscuits called Filipinos, all of which keeps me going until, about 10.30 pm at a small cafe in Nerja I have some coffee and a Tarta Manzana or Apple Tart.

Much later, the small hours of weakness strike again and a slice of Spanish Tortilla, a Granny Smith apple, three Weetabix with milk, sugar and cinnamon and two chocolate sandwich biscuits are tucked away in next to no time at all.
