Mark, Sophie and the boys left after breakfast. The villa was so quiet ☹ We had a wonderful time with them and,
hopefully, they will join us again next year.
My amaryllis is looking amazing now.
I spoke to the DVLA and my driving licence is still valid, so I was
able to send in the second insurance claim.
We then really had to address the problem of our car needing an MOT
before we get home. I rang the car
insurance company and they firmly said that once April 1st dawned our car will
not be covered. So reluctantly I had to
change the ferry and hotel bookings.
There was no charge for the ferry, but we have lost money on the
hotels. Richard is cross with himself as
he just didn’t think about it or at least when he did think about it, it was
months away!
My new saucepans arrived today from Amazon. I am thrilled with them!
Tuesday 25th February
I messaged Sue in the morning and asked if they would like to meet up
for tapas. As we needed to go to
Garrucha we decided to meet there.
Muffin is starting to get rather curly and with the very warm weather
we decided he needs a clip. Last year we
met a man with a Cockapoo who had a lovely clip and he told us where he
went. So off we went to the Veterinary
Clinic in Garrucha where they have a pet stylist, Louis! An appointment was duly made for Monday.
We met Sue and Andy and walked up to Mar Bella where we had a lovely
lunch with lovely friends.
On our way back to the villa we stopped at Mandela Beach again to have
a second look for Richard’s passport.
However, all we found was this, what looks like a car bumper, with
little “things” clinging to it!
We had some housework to do as Penny and Jim arrive on Thursday.
Wednesday 26th February
We had been quite lucky in our search for somewhere to stay next year
and had whittled it down to two which we were going to see today. We have decided that we really want a villa
with having Muffin. An apartment isn’t
really conducive to having a dog.
Our first visit was to see Casa Tina which is even further up the
mountain than we are now. We didn’t hold
out much hope for it but were pleasantly surprised when we saw it as the photos
on the website really don’t do it justice.
The second villa we went to see was Casa Pace which sits high on the
mountain with the most amazing views.
The owner, Chris, is a lovely lady who offered us a glass of wine and
nibbles overlooking Mojacar.
On our return to the villa we had to make a decision as to which villa
we are going to have for 2021. In the
end we chose Villa Tina – for us it is the most suitable though they are both
lovely.
During the afternoon I had a call from Lloyds Banking Group who have
finally started work on our claim. They will outsource different parts of the
claim to experts. Later in the afternoon
I had a call from a jewellery expert regarding my engagement ring. He will now make a recommendation to Lloyds.
We went to the Chinese restaurant for dinner.
I'm curious as to how you will replace Muffins Passport. I nearly lost my dogs passport. But I still don't know what to do if I did?

We rang our vet in the UK who completed a new passport for Muffin and posted it to us. It cost £55 plus the postage to Spain.
