WEDNESDAY 29th/ JULY 2015.
I was up early this morning as 'Reina' was due back for the day with us here in 'Doggy World Heaven' On the site there are now 8 workmen starting to build the walls and stairs with the breeze blocks/bricks that arrived yesterday,we now have the sound of the cement mixer to contend with!This also means that very soon our roof terrace will be bricked in on two sides as they build the walls around us - where will the windows of new block go?!
Also they have been using a 'Jack Hammer Drill' on our walls to brake away the old 100 old stone walls from the old cottages in between the new Concrete pillars - I rang our solicitor and let her hear the noise as I could not be heard to speak!! We have both been out waving our fists at the workmen and telling them what we think!! At the moment they are drilling the wall behind my head in the office as I'm typing the Blog!!
After our normal breakfast I grabbed a quick shave & shower and then went out in the village on my 'BBC' travels - the Bank, the Butchers and the Chemists! At our butchers I stocked up with Escalope of Chicken Breast for tonight's supper,thinly sliced Calves Liver,Chicken Wings & sliced Loin of Pork - all for another day!
Today it'a just a little cooler as forecast but its still 35 degs in the shade,normal for this time of the year,over the weekend its going to get hotter again - its now the hottest period for over 50 years in Spain,it started in May and has just continued, with more to come over the next two months!!
We have just arranged with Den & Josie to go out on Friday lunchtime for a 'Tapas' lunch in Sotogrande at our favourite 'KE Bar' as Den has not been with us before - something to look forward too!
'Chispa' has been here this morning playing around the house as usual,tomorrow 'Scruffy' is now also coming in the morning for a few hours as well as on Saturday night for a sleep over, it will be nice to see him as he's such a character to have around the house with us and he will be some company for 'Reina' who is also her tomorrow.
At lunchtime we had to get out of the house as it was just getting too much to take, we went up to 'Bar Rojas 'for a cool drink and ended up having a Tapas lunch for Brenda and I had the House 'Combo' with a Homemade Burger Steak,Green Peppers, a Campo fried Egg & Homemade Chips!
The Padre came along as the 'Church House' is next door to Bar Rojas so I have arranged to meet him tomorrow morning down at the 'Santa Ana Church' as he is going to take me up the church tower to show me his new Bells!! Watch this space for the pictures tomorrow.
Last night later on I watched on 'TVE 1' some more of the " Hondarribia Blues Festival" - it was the legendary Blues Guitarist " Taj Mahal" - his style of 'Fingerpicking' with his Thumb & Middle Finger is unique and along with an excellent drummer and a five-string bass guitarist he brought the house down!!
We will be up on our roof terrace this afternoon, if the builders have finished, for our regular 'Happy Hour' cocktails as we listen to a local radio station and catch up with our reading.
For our supper we are having the 'Escalopes of Chicken Breast' dry-grilled with some dry sauteed thick cut Baked Potato and some lovely fresh local whole Baby Green Beans.
Thoughts for the Day; See above.
