CASA OLIMPIA AND COLWYN BAY NEWS UPDATE.

Saturday 13th March 2010.

Today is a beautiful day down here in Tarifa, clear blue skies and no wind with the sun out, it is a little cold by our standards, 17 degs. but we are able to leave the doors open so as the dogs can play out in the garden, Boo over the last couple of days has had a cold so Brenda has been nursing him with lots of love, Vaseline on his nose, Vic Vapour to help him breath better and Oil of Olbas on his pillow on his bed at night, to say that he is getting more looked after than me is a understatement!
Still no news from Chris in England, if he is still there, so we still don’t know when things are going to happen, we are taking some of our clothes home next week when we go over to Estepona for Brenda’s dental appointment on Wednesday as we can’t move all our things in one go in the Smart car; speaking of which the warning light is still coming on so I will have to call into the Mercedes garage as soon as possible to get it checked out.
The satellite connection is not working again so we have no TV to watch from yesterday morning; today I have missed the Bahrain GP qualifying and it looks like we will not be able to see the Rugby Internationals later or the Channel Four racing! Fingers crossed that it comes back on for the GP race tomorrow and especially for next week as it is the Cheltenham Racing Festival which is the highlight of the jump racing season.
We have just come off the phone after speaking to Thea over in Colwyn Bay, they are in the middle of having their two bathrooms refitted,Thea has sourced everything off the internet and has made a saving of over two thirds on all the fittings; last weekend they went for a night away at a Georgian country house hotel that some friends had given them as a present for looking after their daughter. The Ttddyn Llan restaurant with rooms is situated in the Vale of Ederynion outside Corwen in Llandrillo; it is part of the Welsh Rarebits private hotel group, which there are over 55 in Wales, they had a lovely stay and the food and service was very good so it is highly recommended by them and Tim said that he was thinking of us all the time he was eating !
