CASA OLIMPIA UPDATE AND BIRD WATCH REPORT.

Tuesday 23rd March 2010.

We have just come back from the clinic in Tarifa; Brenda still has to go every day to have the wound checked and dressed, as we got back in the villa the phone went, it was vet a calling from outside our house in Manilva! Our address is on all the documents from the hospital so they had gone to check Boo as part of the normal procedure after a dog bite! They are arranging for one to come to the villa in the next few days.

Meanwhile last night we had another call from Chris to say that he will be over next week to arrange the move back to England, later today we are expecting a money transfer for the housekeeping which we will pick up at Western Union in Estepona tomorrow as we are going over to the dentists and also calling into the house in Manilva with some more things. As usual watch this space !

On the way down to Tarifa today we saw some Golden Eagles soaring in the sky above the road, this is quite normal, nearly every time we go out in either direction through the hills we see a “Convocation of Eagles ” as the surrounding hills are a natural breeding area for them; they swoop down very low and you can make out the golden colour of the wings and the bright yellow beaks, the wingspan of the large ones is over 7ft and they are nearly 3ft long ! Very impressive every time.

Thought for today;

Accept that some days you’re the Pigeon and some days you’re the statue !

PS; The Sky system has gone off - again.
