CASA OLIMPIA.

Tuesday 24th February.

As we got up this morning it was a warm and sunny with blue skies so we sat on the lower balcony and had our tea and toast as we planned our day.Joan received a phone call from her granddaughter Gemma,Chris’s eldest daughter,he has two,to say that she was coming over from Marbella with her two sons Massimo and Rocco and their father Lucas;she was over from England for the half term and they were going to take Joan out for lunch.Joan got her self all dressed up and Brenda did her hair as she waited for them to arrive;three hours later and after a phone call to her we discovered that Joan had got the message wrong,they were coming over after lunch to see her! When they arrived Joan was very excited as she had not seen them since before Christmas and she had a long chat with Gemma to catch up with all the news; Gemma has a thatched pub outside St.Albans that she has just acquired and Lucas,who is Argentinean has a Italian restaurant in Porta Banus,we can’t get away from it! As they were all starving we made up some sandwiches and bits and opened a bottle of Vino Blanco as we sat on the balcony in the very warm sunshine. In the evening after they had gone,Lucas had to open the restaurant,for supper we had some Pork Cutlets from Manilva which we had brought with us,the original plan was for Chris and Kerry to drive back from Portugal and have dinner with us then I would drop them off at the airport in Gibraltar on Wednesday morning as they had meetings in London;they did not arrive and we do not know where they are!In a phone call to Joan during the day,Chris had indicated to her that their plans might change! Below are some pictures of the inside of the villa with the entrance hall at the foot of the stairs,the main lounge which has the lower balcony leading off on the right and the large open plan Kitchen,with the Wurlitzer Juke Box,which is on all the time along with the two B/O music systems in the lounge and dining area! Off the lounge there is also a TV and music room with a tremendous Hi Fi system,there are seven different “ Flick A Do’s ” I’m in heaven!!
