JANUARY

There was plenty of barbequed chicken, zuccinni and drinks galore, apricots to eat, guests arriving and shopping to do, there was a hangover or two and a brilliant rainbow, figs to pluck from the tree, the dogs to feed then a little rest in the hammock, then fireworks to watch over the cute town of La Consulta, more shopping and lighting the barbeque again, chopping the octopus and lemon rind then the invention of an Argentinean/Thai salad, fresh guests landed, then storms appeared on the horizon, cooking, drinking, Indonesian clove cigarettes, an armadillo snack, Aconquija rose wine, tender grilled steak, garlic in honey, roast potato, then horizontal lightening bolts ripped across the sky then music and a short drive and more drinks and then a bottle of Zeer Oude Genever or Dutch old gin appeared then Senor Coyote arrived with his guitar and a bottle of Fernet Branca then there was a fair lump of madness then the Coyote and Dani show began and then it was suddenly 2011!
