A VISIT TO THE BALLET


THE TOTAL NIGHT COST ME 4 EUROS!


 

What an unexpected night out as all I was going to do was walk Andy up town, as he was having a meal with his mate Norman and then drinks with Andrew.
I needed to feed all my stray cats on the town beach and then stroll home and watch a D.V.D having a quiet relaxing evening, while my husband helped finance the bars.
My cats were so pleased to see me with their tails in the upright position and purring, then fighting as feral cats do for the food. I have been supplying these cats with sustenance for 5 years but I am no closer to stroking one more likely to be spat at and clawed. Talk about looking after the hand that feeds you, I wish someone would tell them!!!!!
Well covered in cats hairs and smelling not too good I start to go home but hear “Elena””
There was Marouka and Flora who own the house where all the cats shelter looking slightly tiddley and singing and dancing.

They called me over to meet their friends where they fed me with fish Marouka had caught that morning plus goat and ribs, Washed down with bottle of beer.


Bearing in mind I was the only English person at this table and tone deaf I was quite surprised they asked me to sing, dance and strum the guitar with them. The Spanish men can certainly sing a mean tune and it was so authentically Spanish, I thought of Andy in his English bar having a pint, if he had known he would rather be here with the Spanish.
All the tourists were smiling at us as they passed; as it was Canarian Day and a Bank holiday so all the Spanish were celebrating their Independence.

I must admit my Spanish was not bad as I did not have a choice but they did correct me like a naughty schoolgirl.

Three beers later I must go home I thought as I was not dressed for night out, on the way home I called in Rogues Gallery where Jo our friendly Landlady gave me yet another beer and said she was off duty in 10 minutes and shall we have a drink together.
Blue Rock here we come and another beer later and Jo and I noticed a new restaurant opening across the way DOVELA.

Over we stroll and receive a lovely welcome from the owners Ricardo &Vasco and given a glass of white wine, then another, and another Free!!!
The venue was superb with wonderful paintings of beautiful people on the walls which were done by Vasco. The ambience is so romantic and relaxing with a feeling of it attracting trendy, classy, young even old like myself people who want something different and tasteful.

All the staff were certainly picked for there experience and the fact they were beautiful looking with the ability to speak English helped and they did serve a mean Gin &Tonic
Jo and I were pleased to see such hunky men but then no reason why we can’t just look !!!.

They served us Canapés and they were scrumptious and again Free.
I was so impressed with it all and the décor was just !!

Black, silver and pink and the black chandeliers were just to die for, so I booked Andy &I for a meal on the Monday..

 


I really hope the place goes well as it is so nice to have somewhere to go where you can wear a nice frock and maybe the bling!!!.
Good Luck to Ricardo &Vasco and please do try a visit as the food was different but good and the great thing is the menu will be changed every month
As you can guess especially those who know me I was quite tiddly now so I walked Jo back to Rogues and Lo Behold there was Andy and he looked quite shocked to see me still around and slightly under the influence of alcohol so when I told him I had only spent FOUR EUROS what could he say??????????????
Also at the bar were Duds AND Ali the grapevine owners but thank goodness they did not have there camera as one month in the Grapevine looking like ??

Great night out with no make-up on and in work clothes but who cares, all my friends just were there!!!!!!.
Even Derek looked on and as usual had that smile!!!!!!!!!!!!!
