At The House Day 7 - IKEA

Low energy day and I did not ride.  I was expecting an Amazon delivery and my IKEA window was 3pm to 9pm so I kind of had an excuse.  


I didn't want to miss Amazon like yesterday so I stuck around the house all morning.  They never came and I needed to get some items to help seal theleaky  brass fittings at the toilet shutoff.  I figured I might as well get a bit of a walk and some lunch so I left the street door open and put my delivery sign out.


First stop was the Chino Bazar where I found some washers that looked like they should help.  Next I walked down to Meson El Olivo.  It was only about 1pm and the waiter who speaks some English said they won't start serving until after 1:30.  I walked some more to kill the time.


I spotted a bicycle shop and wanted to see what they had so I changed my path to the shop.  In front of the shop was a daytime hooker who might have thought I was deviating for her.  I felt a little odd looking in the window with her thinking I was a customer.  No, really, I'm here to look in the window.  I moved on but then turned around because I wanted to note the hours.  I hope I didn't get her hopes up too much.


Lunch was good.  A very nice menu del dia: a drink; choice of starter - I had the Andalisian cold soup; a choice of main - I had secreto - and a choice of coffee or desert.  I had desert and coffee for an extra charge.  Total for a very nice meal was 13.50€, all in.


On the way home I though I should get some bread and I would be set for dinner.  Nope, no bread for you ... siesta time.  The Amazon delivery had arrived.


So I started waiting for IKEA.  I fixed the leaky fitting.  Played on the computer.  Waited.  Waited.  Still waiting ... it's 11:47pm.
