Sophie went to the gym to participate in two yoga classes while I pootled about and did some chores. When she arrived home at midday, she had a list of things she wanted to do, and we also had dinner to prepare. I made the meringue for the pavlova while Sophie chopped vegetables for the stroganoff. Keith had already bashed the beef and cut it into thin strips.
Once that was done, Sophie ticked some items off her list, including cleaning two pairs of her trainers and sorting out her travel insurance for her trip to Turkey in November. I also searched for an Airbnb in Spain, near L'Escala for September, but to be honest there was a limited amount of choice. I even looked at southern France, and one beautiful place on Corsica, but we'd have to get another ferry there! Towards the evening, Sophie spotted a beautiful villa near the gorgeous town of Pals, a place we'd visited last September. We made an enquiry and the owner responded very quickly, which was reassuring! We decided to sleep on it and have a proper talk about it in the morning.
We played Scrabble before Sophie cooked dinner and cracked open the bottle of Champagne I'd bought for Sophie's birthday. I won this evening! Sophie's stroganoff was delicious and after we'd eaten we settled down to watch The Eurovision Song Contest. We'd recorded it but we managed to catch up halfway through the show and see Sweden win.
I think we were all a little disappointed we did so badly, but that's the Eurovision Song Contest for you!
