It’s just like being in England again. 7 degrees, chilly, overcast after a nights’ on and off rain. We can’t see the mountains because of the mist and it’s wet and muddy underfoot (that should cheer up Sandra Pinder, who has complained that we are putting too many sunny pictures on the blog and this is making her depressedJ . The 7th of November was our last dollop of decent rain.
We have been out to furniture shops again this morning and have returned after buying a dining room table and six chairs, plus a lovely patio table and four chairs. Unfortunately we are not able to show them on the blog because of copyright laws, you’ll just have to visit us to see them in the flesh, so to speak. If only we could be as decisive over the fireplace and log burning stove.
I’m going to wax my lyrical’s once more. We go off most mornings to hunt for furniture or to do the shopping or banking or soliciting (if you know what I mean) and we often have a light lunch out, of tapas and or a salad, together with a lunch time drink. This lunch habit is super, however nothing at all can beat buying a fresh pan (French type bread stick) from down town and coming back to the caravan and having the pan with cheese and soup. It is one of retired life’s real pleasures, and if enjoyment is linked to fatness, then we need to increase the size of the house way before we move in. It’s just after four o’clock now and we have just finished our caravan lunch. One side of me now requires a siesta (what a good idea) but as we are out dancing tonight we have to scrub up so that we do not look like a couple of hill billies when we go out. What a stressful life we now lead ;-))))))(lots of winkey smiley, if it corrupts).
It has rained most of this morning but is now brightening up a little. The land and the wild flowers look really refreshed and vibrantly coloured whilst the almond trees are a lovely shade of lime green.
The builders are doing much of the same as yesterday, we think, but we will only be able to note the changes when we have been up to site this evening (on our way to dancing). Oooops we were too late to go up to site tonight so we are not aware of what has been done until tomorrow night, must try harder.
