CASA OLIMPIA.

Thursday 30th July 2009.

Today is the hottest day of the year so far, 38degs.and rising! The workmen have been finishing off in the garden clearing the grass and tree trimmings; it has taken six loads so far and about another four to go! They have started on the top roof terrace and have already laid the felt and skimmed over with concrete by lunch time; they have to spray it down all the time due to the extreme heat. All the Fir trees have been planted and tomorrow they are being fixed to strong cane poles and at the same time the new tile floor will go down on the terrace. The pool is nearly full and they are then going to test and run all the equipment after they have fixed a broken pump part, so fingers crossed we will be in the pool this weekend! This morning we went down to Tarifa for the weekend shopping, called in the jewellers to get Joan’s watch fixed and put the VW through the car wash.Fresh Prawns and Sardines are on the menu over the weekend and no Sunday roast!By Friday they are moving into the master bedroom to clear up some unfinished stone work,re-plaster and the paint.

PS; We have just been on the sun loungers by the side of the pool as the sun went down,a little light breeze came up and we went for a paddle;the water is already warm-gorgeous !
