One week on..

Another hectic week has passed. We are finally installed in our villa along with the dog and cats and all our belongings. Now we just have to sort itall and put it away!!!! Knew we had a fair bit but we need another villa....

The weather has been good, the animals have been settling in very well and we have just managed to get to an internet cafe that works at any speed so thought we would update our blog. The internet and landline have been ordered and should be up and running by next week. Television will have to wait - we need to be able to communicate.

We received a lovely welcome when we arrived as our lovely neighbours were sat outside having a drink keeping an eye open for us. The animals arrived an our after us which was goo timing are appeared none the worse for their journey and pleased to see Mum and Dad again. They have already started to get adventurous and even Wellie has taken a prowl around the garden and investigated the swimming pool. The book is definitelt closed on who would be the first to fall in - it was Michael! Lost his footing when cleaning the pool. Mind you the pool is nice and clean....

Tiffy is quite getting used to her local stroll to the bins of an evening and has made good friends with the local guard dog, who is actually anybody´s for a biscuit (provided you stay your side of the fence).

Another busy day yesterday with Jim arriving with our chattels. Didn´t realise how many we had but it will give us something to do for the next few days (or should that be weeks). Will have the garage finally seured by next week too and will start painting it and installing my craft room which will give us our spare bedroom back.

Been down to Mojacar to visit the bank and check on the state of the pension. It had arrived so all that paperwork we did back home worked. Decided to have a visit to Albox before going home to sign up for the internet connection etc. and know this internet cafe works well so thought we´d pop in for a browse and update as well as a drink. Then its home to get some more unpacking done. I shall be pleased to see the end of the cardboard boxes.

Will sign off for now and hope to update again sometime next week from our own computer.

All is well this end and we feel we have been here ages and its only a week....
