Elayne and I walked up the hill on the other side of El Pinar last night in almost pitch black conditions. We nearly died when a black cat leaped out towards our feet. It was coming over to be friendly because it has met us before but we were not expecting it so it was quite a shock especially as there was no noise of it approaching. After we got our breath back and played with the cat we continued our walk up to the top of the hill and back again, mainly with the torch on.
It started off rather cloudy today, but by eleven it had burnt off and we are back to the sunshine although a little cooler now. We understand that the UK weather has improved recently, enjoy. We heard from Eric and Isobel that we missed a partial eclipse of the moon last week, someone could have told us it was going to happen L
From Elayne (with the editors censorship).
We went shopping for “Boy’s Toy’s” this morning. Paul bought a very large petrol strimmer, (almost as tall as himself, I don’t know how he will carry it around the land). He has just unpacked it and it comes with a bright yellow visor, with a mesh protective front to it, and a harness to take the weight of it in use. This should be worth a few photo’s :0). Hope he leaves the Almond trees in an upright positionJ )
We had a phone call from Pam to let us know that Javier was going up to redefine the caravan bases this afternoon. Which is a great relief, now we won’t have to put Juan off delivering the van’s tomorrow. We are getting ready for the great move on Thursday. We shall both be glad to get on with the next stage, although being here in El Pinar has been good for us, and we have met some very nice people. We are seriously going to miss the pool tho’ :0(
The pictures are of the sunset last night, Eric and Isobel’s house across the road , and the cats’ on our bedroom patio, they had just noticed that I was above them.
Paul is having a ‘senior moment’, trying to get the strimmer and all it’s components back into the box that they came out of, but all is well.

Dear Paul & Elayne.
I am not sure if you can read our comments but make sure you keep all the stories that you but on the blog because they would make a great book. Before you embarked on your Spanish adventure I bet you would have appreciated having a story like yours to read just to be aware of the pleasures and problems etc.
Wishing you all the very best in your endeavours.
Mike and Joan
