Me trying to be a spot on the cow rug
Its so nice being at home with my dads Well we are still here.......most days now it's 20-24 deg, and it makes me pant a bit. But panting is better than shivering, so we like the sun.
It's still manana, it's still Spain. Dads are still doing things with the Bank here, and wait endlessly for phone calls, but just shrug when they don't get the call. Its just getting a bit frantic, as we are set to leave for our return journey next Friday (I just cannot wait to spend time crushed in Priscilla !!! - but dads keep reminding me of the pleasures of Lincolnshire when we get there !!)
But life here is just fine. the bar over the road, my cream brought to me by Julie at my favourite bar (and I am going out to dinner with her next Monday - cannot wait). Meals out in the sun, and we meet up with our mates on the camp site every other day or so. And there is no shortage of my fans when I go into town, I have lost count of how many people now know me, and have all my details.
My mate Max, Guys son was here last weekend for a visit, and we had a good time showing him around. Although I did not get to go to some of the restaurants with them. Since he returned home we have been continuing investigating new areas around here. About 15 mins down the road we found a fantastic spectacular area. Through a beautiful Campo, just a perfect little plain between the mountains. Then up the windy road until we came to original old buildings many of which had been used in the last war for huge gun station. We have only done half of the area yet, as Guy was doing well with his height problem, and I was whisked back to the Popemobile, when they found the area had lots of those lethal caterpillars I told you about in the last blog. They live in pine trees, and start coming out of the silk balls in the trees at this time of the year. They were over the road, and on the walls, so I was escorted back to safety, and they went off to take some more pics, I got to snooze, they had parked the car in a nice shady area.
A beautiful secluded beach we found
What fantastic views ! (pity about the caterpillars !)Last weekend we had a great party at the new house, all my mates from the site, as well as Julie came, and everyone was laughing uncontrollably, so that's normal then !!
The perfect secluded (isolated) house !!My walks get more colourful every day, there are flowers everywhere, and as it credit crunch time Alan as been picking wild flowers, instead of buying them. They look good don't they ?
Last night we were late having dinner, and they had to dash to the shops to get candles. The builders were upgrading main electrics, so we had no power all afternoon, and, at 4pm they said half hour. An hour later it would be another hour, then another, then 15 mins. So we had candles to drink in until about 7.30. Then Alan started cooking a Chinese dinner (How mad can you get - its only €10 to go to the Chinese buffet and eat as much as you like....you don't cook, and you DON'T wash up... will they ever learn ?
One of the two big guns of Mazarron, must have made a big bang when fired ..... NO NOT DAD !!I have told them to put no more sunset pictures on my blog. We have a different sky every evening and its getting boring looking at them, its just part of this perfect place !!
Its the last sunset !!Then there was the Moroccan work man that was sent to our house and made dads amazed. They had taken a snagging list to the developers office and saw Lindsey. There were about 10 things on the list, electrics, smells in bathroom and other plumbing, and some kitchen things. Lindsey got on phone, the carpenter turned up and sorted his things then the Moroccan man can and after a few hours all the things had been done and he had also touched up the painted walls in most rooms (they could not stop him doing things !), so they were gob smacked !! ( after 7 years in our London home we still have things on the snagging list - but its is Spain !) They were putting yellow zebra crossings on our road today, the fact the road is covered in rubble, dust and its not the finished surface, they can to spray the paint down. The crossings don't go anywhere either cus, they haven't built the other side of the road yet !!
Another great view !
This is the next bit we have to get too, when we return to finish the tourAnyway enough of my life, I know you just want the jokes. I have been sent these by mates, so if you find the unfunny or heard them its not my fault..........

A very loud, fat, greasy, unattractive, chav type woman wearing a Newcastle United top walked into ASDA in Sunderland with her two umpalumpa kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.
The ASDA greeter said pleasantly "Good morning Madam, and welcome to ASDA. Nice children you have there. Are they twins by any chance ?"
The ugly fat woman stopped yelling long enough to say "Whye na, they're not twins yer idiot. The oldest one's 9 the other one's 7. Why the ell would you think they're twins? Are you blind, thick, stupid or just a cheese eater?"
"I'm neither blind nor stupid, Madam" replied the greeter, " I just couldn't believe you've been sha***d twice "
