Life in the slow lane!

KATE AND JACK IN AJIJIC, MEXICO.
Sat.15th......This entry from Jack,
As Kate said ,we were down at the society this morning for coffee and socializing,the grounds of the society are breathtaking,like a mini botanical garden with every plant being identified and a large pond filled with big goldfish.After borrowing books from the library we went home for lunch and got back just as the maid was leaving,she comes three times a week,it is great not having to make beds or do dishes! I made a simple lunch of beans,eggs and tortillas .We had a lazy afternoon reading,afternoon tea at 3pm.followed by cocktail hour at 5pm. For supper I allowed Kate into the kitchen to help me cook some jumbo shrimp, pasta,green beans and broccoli and a nice bottle of white wine.We usually eat out since it is so cheap to do so here,but we have been doing a lot of that lately so thought we would spend a night home for a change.
Tomorrow morning,Sunday,we will walk over to the society grounds again where a large group of members gather for socializing around 10am.and where tea,coffee and sandwiches are laid on,then there is a guest speaker who talks for an hour on various subjects,tomorrow the talk is on Mexican xmas customs. After that it is time for us to try a new restaurant for our usual Sunday brunch.
Till next time,
Adios.
Jack
