1st Major event of today:
Today we met our first wild, out in the open, eye ball to eye ball, SNAKE (can anyone identify it, it‘s not in our books?) . It was at least 250 long and nearly 10 wide (only mm’s to be fair). It caused such a rumpus, because it was on the veranda of the taverna at Taberno and not out on the wild tundra. See picture. One English couple said that because it was not green it was probably poisonous. The bar tender came out and encarserated it with his bare hands. We have shown this picture to the cats so that if they ever see one like it they will not think that it is a Woolworth toy.
2nd Major event of the day:
They have tarmaced the track from the rambler to within half a mile of our plot today. It’s OK but with lights, crash barriers, white lines, big blue signs and SOS boxes every half a mile it could quickly become another bloody M62. See pictures of this also. I’m so cross that I have a good mind to get a petition up. However because my Spanish as not yet quite honed to perfection I may come across a few problems whilst drumming up the support from the locals. On the good side it has already pleased the caravan man after we told him that it was a safari from Taberno to our plot, and it will please the removal men when they return our bits and pieces to us after we have moved from El Pinar.
We think that as things stand today we might move up to site mid next week. Then we will be into ‘The rough guide of Taberno’
I’m exhausted so that’s all folks , for today.
PS. From Elayne
He hasn’t mentioned that we went to see Angel, our architect, first thing this morning, to see the plan of the house which we have designed. It is really impressive.
We had also arranged to meet Juan, the caravan man, at Taberno at 12 o’clock to see if the site met with his approval. He didn’t arrive until 3pm, full of apologies, but at least he had kept in touch with us so that we knew what was going on. The site passed the test, thank goodness. Delivery should be next Tuesday, with any luck. Then Paul can get down to some real work, building decking, and laying pipes, instead of the usual round of blog, shopping, tapas and pool, which he has been enjoying for the last six weeks.J
More from me later……. If the editor lets her?
