Timothy Belmont gets into the old tried and tested routine instanter on most hols.
Breakfast invariably consists of wholemeal buttered toast with home-made marmalade, though whilst abroad I'm quite content to have peach jam.
In lieu of English Breakfast tea, I have coffee with leche condensado ~ sweet, condensed milk ~ which does the job of milk and sugar.
In my experience, the milk turns sour swiftly in this climate.
I HAD A gin-and-tonic at about five o'clock yesterday whilst checking the emails; thereafter, seeing that the bottle of tonic-water remained half-full, I ordered another gin.
Gio's generally places three large ice-cubes in tall glasses. This, in my experience, dilutes the drink too much; so I reduce the number to one cube.
I can tell you that a very large measure of gin can be evaluated when two cubes are removed.
I felt the effects of these snifters afterwards so, as a consequence, ambled back to my apartment. I lay down in the bed and promptly drifted off!
When I looked at the watch, it was too late to get the glad rags on.
Accordingly, I am up and about this morning, ablutions duly accomplished.
