It has been hot today and we have swum and swum and swum. I was awakened by my phone ringing today. I checked and it was Sue, our daughter, reporting that Ellie, our granddaughter, had gone off to university for the first time this morning. Tonight we had a report of the day from Ellie. It was all a happy experience. Mobile phones (cell phones for you Americans!) are very useful when you are away. I have been surprised at how cheap our calls and texts have been.
This morning I happened to walk into the kitchen literally at day break and through the kitchen window I saw a rosy glow at the rear of Mount Maroma in the east. It was a lovely sight. Today's end saw Comares at the top of the mountain across the valley with a lovely evening sun glow. There has been not a single cloud in the sky.
We did not move from the poolside today and it was magical in terms of peaceful rest. We choose to come here for three reason: 1) Pauline can manage the few steps and where there used to be a high step there is now just a small rise as I made a special step and brought it here last year. 2) The location wit it beautiful views and quietness 3) The pool is accessible and gives great hydrotherapy for Pauline. The house is a quirky old farmhouse called Finca Manolo and it has sometimes a mind of its own! This year has seen no problems at all. Last year we were moving furniture to avoid water ingress during heavy rainfall as the holiday began.
