CASA OLIMPIA NEWS UPDATE AND ROAD REPAIR NEWS.

Wednesday 24th March 2010.

This morning we went over to our house in Manilva and dropped off some more of our stuff and also started to stock up the fridge freezer for next week; it now sounds like Chris will back in the villa by next Thursday, fingers crossed ! This will fit in with things very nicely as next weekend is Easter,Semana Santa here, and it is one of the best times in the village, last year we were here ! We are looking forward to going back to Manilva and settling back into life in our house, Brenda is already planning the airing and late spring clean; meanwhile I will be setting my office back into action and first on the agenda is a new printer/copier and also we will have to place our advert back in the paper for more house sitting, we are devils for punishment !

At lunchtime we went across to Estepona for Brenda’s last appointment at the dentists but sadly we did not receive the transfer cash code until we were on our way back; so this afternoon whilst we were in Tarifa at the clinic having the wound cleaned, checked and dressed we then went to the Western Union office and collected some cash for this weeks shopping. Tonight we are having flattened Breast of Chicken pan fried in foaming Lemon butter, the Lemons are from the orchard in the garden, with New Potatoes and Green Beans. Tomorrow afternoon the vet is coming from the health authority to give Boo the once over so he is going to have to be on his best behavior.

On our way down this morning through the hills the road people has been very busy after the latest heavy storms of a few weeks ago; the main road had been washed away on a very bad corner so they had to bring in the pile driver to re-enforce the bank and now they have reinstated the road and resurfaced it over night and everything was nearly back to normal on this very dangerous part of the decent.

Thought for Today;

If you lend someone 20 pounds and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

PS; Later this evening we had a call from one of our old clients over in San Pedro,Caroline, to find out how we are going on,we have not been in touch since before xmas. The outcome is that we have picked up our first job once we are back in Manilva !
