Yesterday we could see snow on the high mountains. Today it is back to being sunny and has the makings of a really nice warm sunny day, we’re ready for a few. The builders are hard at work, three inside and two outside. We are just going off shopping so we’ll see some progress when we return, we hope. The wild flowers are looking good and fresh after their big watering. BTW, I spotted wild sweet-pea plants growing on the side of the tarmac on the way to Taberno yesterday. The flowers are small, deep mauve, but there is no smell to them.
On our way down to do some shopping, I took some pictures of the wild sweet-peas and then we found some super swathes of poppies in flower. I’m sure that our friend Christine Walker will paint a lovely water colour painting of them whilst she is at night school this winter, it’s just her thing.
As we drove down to Taberno this morning, and as we were just passing the town hall and Lentisco’s, my phone rang/vibrated in my pocket. I tried to pull in as well as fishing in my jeans pocket for my phone. I parked right in the front of the town hall on the no parking, no smiling, no skating, no breathing and certainly no enjoying yourself area. The caller was the man from the fireplace shop. He said that he was setting off from Albox, to survey our requirements, and would we meet him in thirty minutes in Lentisco’s car park. What a bit of neat timing. We had time for dos ‘des-cafeinado’ and two pieces of cake on the sunny balcony of Lentisco’s, whilst we endured the wait for him. We brought him up to site and he did his stuff with a tape measure. We will now ring him when we are ready for the fireplace to be installed, perhaps at the end of April.
Later:
We have just come back from our daily visit to the house. At the rate that the builders are working, they will have finished plastering by mid next week, and then…….perhaps the floors and floor tiles. The lounge is starting to look huge with it’s ceiling and upper walls plastered. By the time it is painted ‘blanco’ it will be blooming enormous.

What super views from your 'quarterdeck'. You seem to have a neighboring almond grove.

With over one hundred trees, you could say that. Should we fly an ensign? Love to Joan.
