More rain, and a slow but busy start to the week. First household chores, then completing this week's Morning Prayer video and uploading it, booking an outbound flight from Cardiff for Clare to come and join me in Fuengirola, and then cooking a veggie pasta dish for lunch.
Afterwards we walked over to Bute Park for a cup of tea, called into the bus station to check the bus timetable for a London trip next week to take my redundant mobile phone to my sister and show her how to use it. Clare then booked us a couple of night's stay at the Oxwich Bay Hotel as there was a special offer on a two night stay with breakfast included.
After supper, I watched several episodes of a new Finnish thriller called Arctic Circle, set in Lapland in the deep midwinter, near the border with Russia. It's more than a murder mystery police procedural as the story of cross border organised crime and averting the threat of a new sexually transmitted virus capable of triggering a pandemic, plus the usual domestic background stories. Much of the dialogue is in English as well Finnish, with occasional elements of Russian as well. Interesting to observe a Russian and a Finn use English as a common language. I wonder if this is true to life?
