Nice to be on holiday and not jobbing

September already, where does the time go?? Reg on the left here has been and gone, the first of our autumn string of guests. The weather was good for him and we spent most of the time messing about on various beaches. That was of course with the exception of the two mornings following the two wild nights out we had with Reg 'til 4am.

We ate out a few times, had a couple of BBQs and generally had a good time.

We did manage to find him a job as he likes to help out. Sadly it was the dirtiest, filthiest of tasks cleaning out the apotheki with me. It was a right mess in there but now we can see the floor and it is in an orderly fashion. We now know exactly whats in there and where it is. There is a right heap of stuff to burn tho' but this will have to wait 'til October when we are permitted to have outside fires again. No outside fires allowed here between May and September due to the risks to the olive groves.

We have a week to do a few small jobs before my son Tom arrives with his girlfriend Caz. They are coming out on one of those anti social night flights which gets in at 0500hrs but I'm sure we'll all get over it. Another fun filled week with more wild nights out...watch this space.

We've had a bit of exercise today out on the pushbikes over to Arillas to the sea, got off to a good start with a puncture on my bike and also on the spare (Regs bike) so I had to fix one before we could go. It was lovely ride, hot sunny and warm sea. We are out tonight with some friends, some family of friends and some holiday makers we met on our last wild night out with Reg. Hopefully we will be home a bit before 4am but you never can tell.

Oh just remembered a small task, I have put a new light outside at the back so we can see when it's dark and 4am - always useful I hear you say. We did have a light but it was above the door, which attracted every type of insect you did not want near you or in the house. So we left it off to keep the little blighters away from the door. The new light is away from the door, so they can fly around it to their hearts content with hassling us or trying to get into the house (we hope.)

Not much else to excite you with now so will sign off and go and get myself organised for tonight.
