Great coffee yesterday afternoon with all our foster parents and helpers there together for the first time. We had a good chat and wine followed coffee for most of us, and it was a good chance as always to discuss what we need to do next.

Was telling Nick & Dawn earlier about the Thursday night Taste of Spain menu that Al-rruz do on a Thursday night (10€, three courses, one drink included) between 8pm and 9pm.

When I got back home I thought that maybe we should all go next Thursday? The menu wont be available until next Tuesday, but if I know we are all going I am sure I can talk to Inés about anything specific that people like or dislike.

Yesterday afternoon we had our first Almerimar cats coffee, in the Milenio. I’m hoping that we’ll get together most weeks and Wednesday at 4pm seems to be the agreed time. Yesterday we met at 5pm and coffee was followed by glasses of wine, and a good girlie chat was had by all AND we even managed to talk a little about plans to help the stray cats next year.

Gisela has invited those of us that have helped with La Casa and the Strays up for tapas and a drink and to meet her daughter on Tuesday 2nd at 2pm.

I am going for sure as I feel bad that no one managed to go for the BBQ she arranged in the summer for us, and I know that she really enjoyed and appreciated the lunch that we arranged for her and wants to say thank you to as many of us as possible.

I was thinking that maybe it would be a good idea if those of us involved in helping the strays in Almerimar got together once a week to touch base, make sure we know who is doing what, and have a bit of fun!!!!

Nothing too formal or structured but having just about got to the end of the ‘Casa Crisis’ it makes sense to see what we can do on an ongoing basis to ensure that the problem doesn’t arise again and we can continue to work closely with Germany.
