The last day of April. Another month has flown by in a flurry of activity, ours as well as the builders.
Our chimney, the one we went all the way to Baza for, was put in place today. We were very relieved to see, when we came back from Albox, that we both thought that it looked great. Another success story. Also , we now have four very impressive marble thresholds to the main outside doors.
Our fridge, washing machine, and dishwasher were delivered today, and the electric store at Albox said that all the items that we ordered last week are in, and could they deliver them today, instead of next Monday as previously arranged. So we are waiting at this time,6.15pm, for another phone call for Paul to meet them, for the second time today, at the car park at Lentisco’s.
Dario has just been up to check with us the colour of the paint for all the inside walls and ceilings, the outside walls, pillars and decorative roof edge, and the solarium.
Poor Carlos, who should have come up last week to do the electrics and woodwork, has not been well. We hope that we will see him next week instead, as the kitchen floor space is gradually filling up with boxes. It has been another warm, sunny day today, but this evening is overcast and breezy.
Today’s blog has been written by Elayne (proof reader and superviser) as Paul was suffering from a mild case of writers cramp.

hia, sorry it was all rushed on Saturday, I had been dialled in and still was for 10hrs and it continued through Sunday and I am still at work now(18:00) hoping that it will be finally sorted tonight?

Please remind Dad from the picture evidence that he has ben duped and that is a kite and not a frisby, although still good value at 1.25 ;-)

And about your teasing, Ollie is definately like Nick, he spent more time with the girls at the barn dance than the boys and he knows it - bless him

Anyway it was good to talk to you although can you skype me your contact details if I want to ring you as I am not sure I know what they are..
love to you both and chat soon xxx.

P.S. there is a very slim chance that Nick may come and pick his skip up this weekend ;-)

Steve. I wondered why Mum coud not catch it!!
I have Skype'd you a message.
Debs, you sound surprised about Ollie and Nick! I now also understand about the sausages, and I thought that you were dashing to get ready ;-)
If it's any help with Ollie, I had a girl friend when I was in the infants school. The other lads wouldn't go near the girls at all.
