GUADALMINA,UPDATE.

Monday/Friday 29th/3rd October.


Sorry but we have been off line for week as the floor people had to remove the IT station so as they could work along the top corridor and get the job finished; they cleaned up on Saturday morning and have left the floors as if new! Every day this week they arrived at 9-30am and worked all day,the cleaner Merly was in for two days and was able to put a sparkle on the house on Friday morning,the builder, Rafael, called in on Tuesday and I was able to show him all the problems after the rain storm and floods at the weekend.The gardner ,Miguel,was in on Wednesday and cleaned up the patio ‘s and garden.In the morning’s after everybody had arrived we would pop out down to the shops in Guadalmina in the Astra to stock up and also call into the English butchers which is just around the corner;we had supper in the kitchen each evening and sat outside on the patio for a snack at lunchtime as the weather has been warm and sunny all week.In the late afternoon we have been for a swim in the pool every day as the sun is over the pool all day and it is just a nice temperature! On Wednesday Vidal and Gissy called in as they live just around the corner so we sat outside on the large patio and caught up with all the news,we had an warm Caeser salad and a bottle of chilled Rose. The Winnebago has still not left for Germany as the trade plates have still not arrived but they are expected this Monday,manana!! During the week we have been watching the large screen TV and so on Friday evening I was able to watch the Jools Holland show late on and also follow and see the football,but no soaps!

Saturday 4th October.

Today is our last day at the house as we are picking up Clive and Carolyn from the airport later,at 11-30pm and are going home on Sunday morning.The floors look very good and they were very happy when the got home.The two house cats were also very happy to see them !!

Sunday 5th October.

We have arrived home and are unpacking,we are going to have our regular Sunday brunch a little later and at the moment Brenda is watering all the plants.We have been re-booked by Clive and Carolyn for another week,the week after next,as they are going to Italy to put a new boat in the water which has just been finished and a new crew arranged by them have to be checked ! They also have a date in mind in early November as well.so very many thanks to them!
