Bits And Pieces ...

My new Crocs finally arrived, or should I say I had to go and pick them up from the cargo depot.   The driver claimed we weren't at home twice.....we were, he was just a lazy bugger that could be bothered to drive up the hill!

These are probably my tenth pair of Crocs.  I love them, including their good looks!


This motorhome passes through Mojacar quite frequently ...

It's an ex military missile carrier, he is a bit of an eccentric and travels on his own ...


We have another visitor at the moment ... Julie lived and worked with Elaine during the eighties in Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates, and they have kept in contact ever since ...

The weather has been pretty grotty for the last few days with a fair bit of rain.  It even felt cold!  We often check the weather back in the UK ... it was 14 degrees here the other day and 24 in Macclesfield!!!  Thankfully the crap weather only lasted a few days we are now back to the normal warm sunshine!  

We took a little trip up to Mojacar Pueblo this morning (the old village) and had a few tapas while we were in the area.  Here are the girls and the doggies posing at the top ...


We spotted this today.  I think it's the new Jag 4wd, but stand to be corrected!  Nearly all the European car manufactures test their cars in this area, the main reason being a huge variation of roads, great weather and most importantly the roads are virtually deserted ...



Re Elaine, we went to see the Oncologist on Monday.  Unfortunately the news wasn't good this time ... the chemo El was taking isn't working any more, which was very upsetting but, as per usual, Elaine took it in her stride.  He did give her an injection of an anabolic steroid to try and perk her up a bit.  Thankfully it has worked and the last couple of days she has felt a bit better.  He also started on her on a course of a hormonal therapy drug, to try something different for her.


Good news to hear that NB No Problem has been sold, apparently the buyers were drawn to the boat by reading one of the boating blogs, good eh!


Tonight we are off to sample a local paella with Julie - yum !
