It’s six months, today, since we arrived here in Spain. What a time we’ve had in that period. We have learnt so much that we didn’t know that we didn’t know before. We have made so many new friends and visited so many new places that it’s sometimes hard to get to sleep at nights with the exhilaration of it all. Both of the cats are looking healthier than I can ever remember seeing them and we are feeling at ease with our decrepit old bodies. Elayne is not yet ‘performing’ again but she does make a performance from time to time, just to keep her hand in :-))). We are playing tennis once a week and lots of people are talking about putting their own tennis courts up, including us if the finances survive enough after the house.
Today it is in the mid twenties (again) and the sun has shone since it rose at quarter past eight this morning. The nights just now are only cooling down to seven or eight degrees. It is six weeks since we had any rain at all so we are enjoying it all just now.
We shopped in Albox this morning, sat and had tapas and a drink on the terrace at Lentisco’s at lunch time. Just now we are chilling out before we go down to Mojacar this evening to the opening of John’s new bar (John performs at Lentisco’s on Wednesdays under the name of JC). He is calling it JC’s Talk of the Town. I feel we have another late night coming up.
We were woken up at eight this morning by the arriving builders who are carrying on at a cracking pace. They are building the foundation surround wall that the ground floor plinth will sit on, see pictures. We were surprised that they worked today and we don’t expect them at all tomorrow (so we can have a have a lie in, after tonight’s merriments).
