CASA OLIMPIA.

Tuesday / Wednesday 24th/25th March.

Tuesday 24th.

As we got up it was warm and sunny, for a change, so we shot down to Tarifa to go to the Hypermarket and then we stopped in the old town to go to the Chemist’s and then pick up some light bulbs; we are planning to be here until Saturday, yesterday I picked up Baby cards for Charlie and Aidan, aWedding card for Lyn and also a Birthday card for Joan as it is Chris’s birthday over the weekend and then found the post box in Tarifa! When we got back to the villa it was so nice that we decided to wash the Smart car and Chris’s and I found a hose pipe to finish them off and also wash down outside at the same time, the dogs kept out of the way as they both need a good bath, but won’t let us near them! In the evening for dinner we all had, but not the dogs! Steak and Frits with all the trimmings before we watched TV.

Wednesday 25th.

Today the wind as we got up has started blowing again and when we went outside both cars were covered in Sahara dust, typical! The Skype phone went off as I was online, it was Jack and Lyn calling to catch up with all the news and try the new Web Cams at both ends, but with no luck at the moment-HELP! As we were talking about the family over in Australia we worked out that Lyn has four children, seven grandchildren and two Great Grandchildren whilst Jack has also four children and nine Grandchildren! This is just the tip of the Iceberg and is why when Lyn and Jack come to stay with us in June we are going to mark them all up on the large wall map that Jane, our friend in Chester is finding for us! Only yesterday we made friends on Facebook with Kelly Dutton but were not sure were she was in the family tree; it turns out that she is the wife of Michael,Debs son who is one of Lyn’s daughters and they have two daughters called Bethany and Livia who are the two Great Grandchildren !! Many years ago Deb came to England with Michael when he was only three/four and we met them, he was a little terror and a right handful at the time! So now we are all talking on Facebook and catching up with all the news, Brenda says that I am getting just as excited as her discovering them all! Nice talking to you Kelly on Facebook and we look forward to hearing all about your life and family and give our love to “ Little” Michael!
The sun is just trying to come out but the Tarifa wind is getting up so we are not going to wash the cars, again at the moment. Tonight we are having for dinner Pork Escalope’s in a Ham and Mushroom sauce with Brenda’s selection of vegetables which she is getting ready in the kitchen as I type this!
