There she is!

When Cala plays hide ´n seek - she always says ´there she is´when we find her.  We were playing said game this afternoon, so I quickly grabbed the camera and caught her mid-discovery!  I´ve tried taking lots of pics but asking Cala to keep still is like asking a wave not to break upon the sand - she simply won´t keep in one place long enough, lol.  Anyway, the pic is the essence of Cala´s personality - her smile lights up a room (course I´m not biased, lol). 

Had a lovely afternoon today with my two best girls in Puerto Calero, a beautiful marina which most tourists don´t know about - coffee and ice creams - lush!

I´m melting, melting!

It´s my fifth day in Lanzarote - I´ve never known it this hot - must be 32c already and it´s only 11.30! Stacey´s at work and Kev and I are trying to entertain Cala who´s hot, bothered and teething to boot!  It´s too hot even to go for a walk - will pop to the shop to look for something for dinner once the temperature´s dropped and I don´t feel like a melting waxwork.  I shouldn´t moan about the heat, but I´ve never been good in high temperatures, and this is just oppressive. 

No photos to post yet, ´cos I haven´t taken any, lol - I´m just too hot! Love to everyone - photos WILL appear here soon.

12 months, one week and four days old

I took this photo of Cala yesterday - she was a bit sleepy and not really in the mood for posing, but I love her expession in this one.

I´m still in Lanzarote but going home tomorrow (sob), after a wonderful 18 days!  Am dreading the inevitable goodbyes, as usual, but hoping I may get out here again in the Autumn.  Will post some of Cala´s birthday pics on my return to England.  Ciao for now!
