Last night after dancing, the longest hour of the week, we all adjourned to Lentisco’s to replenish our lost body liquid . Friends Chris and Avril (I spilt a half pint glass of beer all over Avril last week, and she is still talking to me) brought a game of American Dominos into the bar with them. Eight of us played this very intriguing game of dominos for nearly three hours. It is a very clever game with double twelve being the highest domino. We left Lentisco’s and Taberno at gone twelve, after a brilliant night.
Today we have been down to Huercal Overa briefly. We set off early and got back as soon as we could, because the caravan gets really very warm inside (about 32-34) and we don’t like to leave the cats too long when it’s as hot as this. They don’t seem to mind, but we do. The house by contrast is very cool inside even on days like today, at well over thirty, so it will be much more comfortable for them when we get moved over there and we have to leave them.
Two joiners are fitting the doors today and then sanding them off. They feel wonderful, as properly sanded wood does and the smell is very evocative. I want to get back to my woodworking. The painters have started on painting the upper level outside. The paint we have chosen is a very slight off white towards lemon shade and it is looking a treat. From a distance it looks white. The amendments to the lounge and kitchen doors and rejas for the doors and stairs are starting to hold things up because nothing in those areas can be finished off. Dario has said that he will bring the doors up to site himself because the glazier (cristalaria) keeps making promises and then not keeping to them. We will have to wait and see.
I think that we are out again tonight so perhaps a siesta might be in order.
