A bespoke omelette this morning...


...and some fruit...


Another lovely day...



Took some of the boys up into the mountains at 9 for a day of golf...

Later on, me and chum Baz headed in the direction of Malaga in the JZM-mobile...


We stopped at a big retail park near the airport...



In MediaMarkt, this sorry sight was the extant of their CD offer...


After sampling a few on my phone, I partook of these two...



...before dropping Baz at the airport, for his two day early flight home, heading on into Malaga and finding a nice parking spot...


...just outside FNAC...


...which had a much better selection and were offering 3 for 2 on almost everything...



...and so, 15 European Euros were saved on these...







...although, of course, 40 European Euros were laid out...

...along with another 15.5 for this in nearby el Corte Ingles...


...before I made an almost identical walk to last year...





...taking a pause for some lunch at a Deli opposite the main market...





I headed on into the centre of the old town...




...noting our apartment from two years ago...


...further North...


..I found again the wee record and book shop and took these two for a further 4 European Euros each...



I carried on with my walk, past our fave bar...


...and Kitty's fave doughnut shop...


...and on...


...to the main square and the amphitheatre below the castle...







This wee cat is in the non-zoomed in pics too...


But this wee one was better...





Just prior to this, I'd picked up a couple of watches - one each...

A final walk back past the Cathedral...









...back to the car...


...and, including an unintentional detour which saw me accidentally head towards Seville, I finally arrived back in Banus for tonight's gala dinner at La Sala, where, as last year, a very tasty Chateaubriand was shared with chum Ali...


Everyone, except Baz, was in attendance...

Julio..


Double D...


Spike...


Jack...


Matty...


The beast himself...


Luke...


Raymondo...


Janine...


...and Gaz...


After much eating, drinking and carousing, I set off solo back to the hotel around midnight, taking around 30 minutes to make the walk - it would've taken perhaps 5 minutes less had I not taken all these pics...

















This last was a welcome sight indeed...

Lights out...

Highlight of the day : CD Shopping in Malaga...
