What a splendid day. We have slobbed out all of today and the weather has been glorious with the temperature in the high twenties for a change. We have had the house to ourselves to look at and consider what and where things will go, when we finally move in. Dario and Jose did come up to site early this morning, to bring the remaining hall tiles, and so I wandered up to see them and discuss a few things that we were getting a little concerned about. Dario says that they will finish by the end of May (however he did say some time back that they would finish by the end of April). We keep trying to tell ourselves that we are not in a hurry, and in the whole scheme of things we are not, however we are impatient to move on now.
We talked to Steve, Debs, Ivan and Ollie last night. When we phoned they were just about to go out to a village barn dance. I asked Ivan if he was taking his girl friend to dance with and he said “dream on” which I presume meant no. Elayne asked Ollie that same question and he went very quiet, said bye and hung up. We shouldn’t tease them, but it is good to see what response you get to these sort of questions. Obviously nothing much changes in girl embarrassed youngsters evolution, it won’t be too long now before Steve and Debs are walking the hallway carpet bare waiting for them to arrive home late from the local dance hall. Just like we did.
Yesterday Elayne and I were at Albox car boot sale and generally there was nothing much to buy, although it is getting quite a big affair now and in the warm sun it is nice to wander around without feeling cold. We have been looking in toy shops now for ages for a proper Frisbee. We like playing it and one presumes that it is a good form of exercise. None of the toy shops either in Albox or even down on Mojacar Player have Frisbee’s in stock and a lot of shops don’t know what they are. Anyway I wandered past one stall and there was a very good quality Frisbee, brand new and still in it’s original, unopened, wrapper. I asked the price since it was a bit warped and got it for €1.25. As I walked past another stall a guy, on seeing me carrying the Frisbee, said ‘I see you’re going to get some good exercise with that’, we got talking and I related to him how difficult it had been to procure a Frisbee and he said ‘yes if it doesn’t plug in, nowadays, kids don’t want to know about it’, what a generally true statement. When we got home I laid it on the work surface, poured boiling water into it and placed some weights on top of it. When the water felt cold I removed everything and we now have one very new and accurate Frisbee to play with. What a good do and just for €1.25!!!
