Mumbling Free - Day 7 - Waiting for Leo

We are all tired and the day is very warm - by far the hottest day since we got here.  We are tired because Jo took pity on Brody and allowed him to sleep by my side of the bed. At some point in the night, I got up to take him out so that the smells would stop.  It was a very pleasant, warm night, but I was not in a mood to enjoy it.
After breakfast, we walked across the nature reserve to Castellamare, where the original title for this blog was dreamed up.   It was to have been "More for Less", and was based around ordering a decaf coffee and being charged a 15p supplement for the decaf 'feature'.  So you took out the caffeine and that costs me - why? Anyway, news later in the day changed the title.  Castellamare looks like a nice place, it is certainly in a lovely setting.  We sat for a while, reading the 'complimentary' Guardian - not my normal choice, but the others were less so. Like most of the other places around here, it is 'find a table - order at the counter'.  We walked around the headland a little way and backup to the bungalow by the road, rather than return the way we had come.  Brody was struggling in the heat. 
Back 'home' we relaxed, had a sandwich for lunch and walked the coastal path to Caswell Bay.  By now, our poor double-coated Labrador was panting fit to drop, so I put him under the beach shower to cool him down.  He had already had multiple stops for water.  We returned on the 2C bus and walked back to the bungalow from Underhill park.
We dozed in front of the TV - a world cup game - until the phone rang.  Andy, Jess and Leo are coming this evening.  A good idea to travel in the evening rather than the heat of the day.  So now there is a new title for the blog entry.  We trust Leo and family will arrive before the proverbial Godot, but we are expecting them around midnight.  Anyway, at the announcement the house burst into life, as we prepared to go shopping and find something to eat.  Fortunately these days it is possible to shop after 5pm, so we easily got the things we needed, and ate once again at Ninety-Three, where the staff are friendly and good food is served, and more importantly the outside tables were not taken. I haven't had pizza for ages (cheese is normally off the diet list), so it made an enjoyable change.
On the way back, we had a long conversation with a couple sitting outside a pub about Labradors, and Brody showed how a dog should behave.  Halfway home he stopped outside a house where we had met another chocolate Labrador (Charlie), waited for him to appear and then barked at him.  He is already making friend in his new community.
Now we have a long wait for Andy, Jess and Leo ...
