End of August already

Wow what a busy month, we have been very busy tidying up the garden and planning the layout since the pool has been finished and also have changed our car now for a Peugeot 306 Break, which is a little bigger than the Citreon Saxo, it was really a good idea as we plan to drive up to the UK in October/November and the saxo was getting a little tired to say the least..... The August weather has been typical and really it has been too hot to do much between midday and 17:00 the temperature being in the mid thirties everyday, though yesterday we had some tremendous thunderstorms Mary has been making ginger beer which well chilled has kept us well refreshed. We are off to Valencia and then Madrid next week for a few days to experience life in the Big city.

Views from the Virgen of Blanca

Last night i went for a walk to the statue of The Virgen of Blanca quite a rough walk up the track but amazing views of the area.

Earthshake again

We were woken up at around 01.00 this morning with the bed shaking, a rumble and loud bang,it appears that there was a Richter scale 3.0 earthquake centred about 300 metres from the house, at around 10 kilometres deep, having a look round this morning there is no visible damage to our property.
my fear was the pool might be damaged but it looks OK, the contracters are arriving tommorrow to fit the plumbing and electrics so hopefully we will soon be swimming.

Tiled

The guys arrived at six o clock in the morning, It was just getting light and finished about 4.00 in the afternoon

Next stage - Tiles

Which we have been reliably informed will be put on tomorrow, i hope the guys have sunglasses because the forecast is hot and sunny, so there will be a lot of glare and it will be like being in an oven.
