The JCB dug another potho, for the house, and has now left the site until after the foundations are down. We are not sure when ‘the steels’ will arrive, one presumes either tomorrow or Tuesday (on the assumption that perhaps no work will take place on Monday, New Years Day). We have had it confirmed by Dario that the concrete will arrive on Wednesday.
Elayne, the cats and me have been down pruning and harvesting our fifth olive tree. The poor thing was so overgrown inside that we were not surprised to collect only about 2kg from it. I have given it a good talking too after it’s hair cut so perhaps next year it will perform better.
Today has been fabulous with sun all day with temperatures in the sun of about 18 degrees. I have been working in shirtsleeves it was so delightful. In the shade it was a cool 12 degrees.
It’s now 15.30hrs and we are going to get scrubbed up and go shopping to try to avoid yet another expected food fest rugby match in the shops tomorrow.
Pictures today are more of the dig out and another of our new pet ‘rock of Taberno’. We could print some brochures and have coach parties coming to see it at €10 per head (tea and coffee extra).
