Tales from Taberno

Date 21-7-2006 Friday
We both feel a bit better now that we have slept quite well and we have explored and accepted all the mysteries and crannies of this brilliant villa. The cats, especially Pip are wandering about feeling a bit strange but they soon get used to the place. Instead of letting them out altogether we have bought some small mesh plastic garden screening so that we can let the out onto the terraces without worrying about them wandering off.
We felt brave today so we went to Currency Direct and Cajasur banks on our own to move some money about and to ask Cajasur for check books and debit cards. Gill finally got our NIE forms from the solicitors in Mojacar.
Last night, as we were shopping at the supermarket in Mojacar, Steve called us, before he flies off to Canada, for two weeks cycling. We also had a very long chat with Debs and the kids. They are so looking forward to coming over to see us a week on Tuesday.
We arrived home after dark and because it was just so hot we swam in the pool and looked up at the super night sky. It is a very beautiful experience to be floating on your back in the dark and watching the stars. It will be an even better experience when we can do the same thing up at Taberno.
We had three drops of rain this afternoon and it partly clouded over but still hot.
