This morning we did some ‘business’ on the internet and then we went back to olive picking, I recon that we have about fourteen kg of olives now. The next tree that we will do is dripping with fruit so it will take a good long afternoon to prune and pick the olives. I think that we have now completed four trees out of twelve.
We came back to have a late sandwich lunch and then have a chillout hour or so before the dance class Christmas Party. Last week we all put €10 each in the pot and Fernando (dance teacher) said that he would organise the food and drink. I thought that, rather than one or two folks doing all the work, we should each bring something and a bottle. Anyway the debate over this issue, with the Spanish there as well, was hilarious. It was going on so long that I tossed my €20 (for Elayne and I) on the table and went up to Lentisco’s for a pint and to get the drinks in for the others for when they also arrived.
We are taking our building plans down with us tonight to give to Pam and Bob so that they can draw up a contract that we can make and sign with the builder. The sooner the better as far as we are concerned.
We had a wind overnight but today has been wall to wall sunshine plus wind. The barometer has fallen from 1026 to 1019 since yesterday. The wind is boisterous at the moment, so it needn’t bother getting any stronger for us.
