55. Autumn in Spain

The clocks went back last night which means Autumn has hit the Costa Blanca here in Spain, it's funny because  just over a week ago before the wet spell the weather was still summer-ish once the rain finished there was a real chill in the air especially in the mornings and now later in the evenings, the local are all wrapped again even if the temp hits mid 20's. So whats new then? well first of the roads, we have had a bit of a torrid time with the local road works, we have had to park the car the other side of the village which makes shopping a pain int he arse but at  last and after 6 weeks I think they are finished...phew!!.

 The road as it was

 Top layer stripped

 God knows how they got this machine up the hill and round the corner

 Tarmac laid and imprinted

 Finished job

 Steps have been re-tiled

Wall has gone and new kerb and pavement laid

It all looks a lot better and cleaner and hopefully now we can get the parcel delivery firms to re-commence deliveries as they refuse to walk up the hill LOL.

We have a busy day tomorrow so taking it easy this Sunday, somehow tomorrow we have to get to Gandia police station and for the third time of asking try and sort out our residency once and for all then within an hour I have to get to the dentists where they will attempt to take out the other half of my tooth that they started last week ouch ouch! while I am doing that Lorni has to to go to Alzira while I am in the chair to try and sort out driving licences..all go eh? then the next day she is back tot he UK for a couple of days, at this rate Lorni should be getting frequent flier discounts.
