Thursday 10-8-2006








We set off at nine to be at the Fiat garage for nine thirty. They did the tracking but we hung around for nearly an hour for the job to be completed, hey ho. The other garage fitted the new tyre and balanced the wheel in very quick time, so all in all we hit our target spot on and at the prices that were agreed yesterday. Eureka!!!
We then went to the banks to organise the finances for completing the purchase of the land next Tuesday.
On Tuesday we have to go with Gill (our agent from Lighthouse Properties) and our solicitor Isobel Lopez (from Vera) to the notaries office in Huercal Overa where we meet up with the sellers’solicitor to complete and make official the sale of the land to us all in front of the notary. We then hand over the monies and the land is ours. In a couple of months time we get all the official titles and paperwork back to show that we are the owners and that this is logged with the Spanish Government.
We lunched on a drink and tapas at Mojacar, did some internet business and shopping in Turre. I called my sister using Skype, she sounded as if she was just next door. It was nice to talk to her. She told me that it had turned cold again in the UK and also about the terrorist activity at Heathrow. We do pity the folks with children as well as older people who are travelling to their holidays only to end up stuck at an airport for hours on end, although one can appreciate the justification for the very tight security.
The enclosed pictures today are sunrise at El Pina taken about seven thirty this morning, the colours are glorious.
Thank you to the folks that are starting to leave comments on this Blogspot, it’s almost like email.
