Sunday
10th March
The
weather seems to be hotting up, which is nice.
Richard, Ingrid and Bob took Muffin for his morning’s
constitutional. Richard arrived back
with the car (left outside the Chinese restaurant last night) but no
Muffin! I & B had walked on and got
up to Blu where they enjoyed Blu’s lovely coffee before walking back. People say it’s the best coffee on the Playa.
We sat
round the pool in the afternoon. The men
read while Ingrid and I did some crochet.
I was stuck and have been waiting for Ingrid to arrive to get me going
again as she is an excellent crocheter.
Richard decided to have a swim, but he only managed one length before
exclaiming that it was too cold!
I had
forgotten to take anything out of the freezer, so we had to go out for
dinner! My hairdresser had raved about
Casa Juan, so we tried it out. It is
only across the road and the food was excellent – menu del dia for €11.95 with
lots of choice. We will certainly be
going back there again.
I haven’t
been taking any photos so today’s are some which haven’t made the blog so far!

Another
day in paradise!
Yesterday,
after their walk to Blu, I & B had fallen in love with Mojacar and want to
come back next spring for a couple of weeks.
We all walked down to Blue Sea Villas where they came up with a number
of villas all over Mojacar. They
narrowed it down to 4 and later in the afternoon we got the links to those and
narrowed it down to 2. Watch this space!
We walked
back up the Paseo and went to Beachcomber for coffee and walked back to the
villa for lunch. In the afternoon I
& B went food shopping and I went and had my toe nails done.
It was
then more sitting round the pool and crocheting! Ingrid thought about swimming and came down
ready for it but chickened out at the last moment!!
Ingrid
was the chef tonight and Bob was the sous-chef!
They cooked a lovely Spanish chicken dish – I will definitely get the
recipe for it 😊
Once
again I’ve hardly taken any photos so today’s are some which haven’t made the
blog so far!
Tuesday
12th March
We were
sitting on the terrace having breakfast when our neighbours, Carol, David and
their border collie, Moffy, came to say goodbye. They are heading back to Glasgow where it is
snowing – I feel so sorry for them! We
now have a couple of days with no neighbours as the new people don’t arrive
until Thursday.
I & B
went off ”house hunting” while Richard and I caught up on some paperwork.
We headed
over to Garrucha for lunch. We thought
we would see if the Rincón del Puerto restaurant was open and it was. However, the waiter did not make us welcome
and seemed to serve us very grudgingly, so we drank our beer and moved on. We hadn’t been any further up before so
walked on and found about four restaurants.
We chose La Pinta and had very nice tapas served by a very nice, chatty
young man. After our lunch we tried to
walk round the marina but if would appear that you can’t, so it was a quick
walk to the locked gate and back!
Back at
the villa it was sunbathing, and Richard even went in the pool!
Dinner
was beans on toast as the lunchtime tapas had filled us up.
