Three of us played tennis this morning at 11am (Allen, Elayne and Me). We had a good session in the warm sun ( I took my legs off because it was so warm. It’s the first time my legs have been exposed since October) I can already see that Allen is going to be a tough opponent in the near future (This despite his assurances that he has not played since his school days ;-). Elayne played some super two handed, point winning, shots as well. It was good to be out in the open having a run about in the sun.
Elayne and I went straight down to Albox, and the bank, after tennis. Good heavens!! The bank was empty and we got served straight away. We had a drink and some tapas in town then as we were walking back to the car we had a call from Pam to say that she had kindly left some mail for us at the caravan and that she had seen a JCB on site. She told us that the foundation concrete wagon is already booked for next Wednesday 3-1-2007 so all the foundations must be completely dug and correct before then.
When we got back to base we did indeed have a JCB on site. It was orange and in somnolent mode. Not a sign of anyone anywhere. But within an hour we had JCB driver Francisco here, and then a car arrived with Dario’s mates.
It’s now 15-50hrs and it’s all hell and no notion up there at the moment, long may it continue.
Pictures: JCB to prove the point. Plus yesterdays olives, I wonder how many bottles of pickled olives these will make?
