Another couple of days have gone by and we have kept busy, yesterday we went out for lunch to meet up with a fellow Drag Racer from America who has also retired over here Eric and his wife Janet, we had a long chat about Drag Racing, knee replacements, Brexit and Trump. On the subject of knee replacements Janet had hers done in the States and it cost her $143000 how the hell do they come up with those numbers it is dam ridicules.. Anyway we spent a few hours enjoying a really great lunch which didn't cost the earth and my god the size of the Tuna steak,,,I take back what I said about sea food. Both Janet and Eric have to take s Spanish driving test to continue driving here in Spain the car test can be done in English but not the motorbike test I'm told, best I get my driving licence exchanged quick then. I have driven around 40km now in the new car and I am surprised at how quick the transformation has been I have no problem at all now with driving a left hand drive car even the reverse gear pattern has proved to be a simple learn, if only the language was as simple to learn!!!!!
Harry has taken longer to settle in he has really missed his doggie friends back in the UK and he doesn't get off the lead now as there is no-where near where I would trust him as there are too many roads and other dogs and loads of cats, But he is now getting into a bit of a routine and seems a lot happier than when we first arrived.
He does keep getting told off from Lorni about using our bed as his rest place but it doesn't stop him LOL This morning I slept in a wee bit I heard voiced looked out of the bathroom and saw strange men in the house I shouted at Lorni who informed me the beds had arrived. Great another double and two single beds for two of the bedrooms, still got to find a bed/settee for the office bedroom downstairs.
I know a bit bare still but it's a start I need to decorate a wee bit and we need to buy some pillows and a bit of furniture abut at least we have somewhere for nay visitors to sleep now. The problem we are having is finding any wardrobes etc that are good quality and are also flat packed as it would be a impossible to get a wardrobe up the stairs we have found cheap and nasty or wayyy tooo expensive there seems to be nothing in between, oh well keep looking.
After the bed delivery I took Harry out for his rather late morning walk and even though I know that it is freezing in the UK it's not been too brilliant here today either there was mention of rain at some point in the next couple of days.
Lorni has gone into town to sort out some banking issues and drop some more cardboard off at the tip and left me to look after Harry and get the fire going, I must admit I'm getting rather good at these log fires, anyway she just rang to let me know that she has just made an appointment for me at a dentists...damn here we go then..toothless!!!
