Middle Class British Couple In Algarve

Middle Class Retirees.  (Algarve)

When she gets up her husband has gone to the golf course, she drinks 
a cup of weak tea and has a toast without butter. Then the grooming 
begins it takes hours, hair, nails the right dress to choose, takes time; 
after all she is going to meet the other ladies and they are a critical lot.
She drives her white Mercedes and tries to park as close as possible
 near the café, when she enter there are kisses, big smiles and furtive
looks how the other ladies are dressed, colour combination and so on.
They all have long decorated nails this indicated they have a maid to 
do the dishes; they chat is about film stars and others in the news and 
how they dress. The ladies eat cream cakes and forget for a moment 
about dieting. This séance last about two hours and is the highlight of 
ladies day.  She drives home, changes her frock, makes a meal for her 
hubby just home and suntanned from his golfing, and tells him to take 
a shower since they are going to an art exhibition at eight.
