It's a lovely, bright day here on the Costa...

...and just to prove it, here's a pic I took earlier! 

I love Autumn here, all the holiday makers have gone home, and we get the best weather all to ourselves; no crowds, no-one on the beaches, no sunburn queue at the medical centre...

Well, the new rug has a lot to answer for!  Looking all nice, and clean, and NEW, it showed up the flaws in the rest of the room.  A cleaning, polishing, washing-of-chair-cover frenzy ensued, and now my poor back is making me pay. 

I have an appointment at the pain clinic next week, so hopefully I'll get something more long-term sorted.  Am more than a little frustrated by this cycle of feeling OK, doing something mundane, and having to lay up for a couple of days.  Nil desperandum, it really IS a beautiful day.
