I know that it has been a while since my last update but I
had computer problems and being in Spain they took a little longer to get
sorted than at home. After many days in the hands of the repairer I enquired if
it was ready and was told ‘Manana’ but it was still a few days later until it
was fixed.
We can’t believe where the time is going, about four weeks
more only at this site before moving on. Last night we helped the Scots on the
rally celebrate Burns Night complete with specially flown in haggis, it was a
lovely night. It just happened to coincide with our 38th wedding
anniversary so very good timing. We had some friends round in the afternoon to
help us drink a couple of bottles of champagne and eat some cake before getting
ready for the evening which besides the meal had us Scottish Country Dancing
interspersed with disco music, we went home rather tired.
A couple of weeks ago I sprained my ankle (I just wish I
could remember how) and it has taken a while to get better although when first
sprained I was ordered by Sue to rest it so was unable to do much, hardly a
problem in the sunshine though. We have had some fairly strong winds since then
but not too cold fortunately, certainly better than at home currently.
Some friends we met last winter out here have arrived now
and it has been good to catch up with them and spend some time together.
This coming week is another busy one with a fairly strenuous
bike ride on Friday to the Portman guns which are a relic of WW2 and sited to
protect the entrance to Cartagena harbour but still in position apparently,
sounds interesting.
