Concrete and Boots

Monday 20^th November

Weather bright and sunny again. After breakfast, went to house to see Tommy and Sergio….. concreting walls in kitchen and drilling out channels for electrics planned, and re-caucho roof and first floor.

We decided to go to Almogia north of Malaga, where we had seen the a horse rodeo event on a previous occasion, and thought they may have a boot shop…….silly me !! One of the country roads just petered out to a dirt track, but we then found a cross mountain camino with very steep hills (1in 3 ), which J did not appreciate. Almogia was a typical white town tumbling down the hill, and was very picturesque…..not really touristy.

Tuesday 21^st November

Awoke to a lovely red sunrise, which did not auger well for the day, but it was fine, hot and sunny. Drove to house via camino road and on to house to see Tommy. Established he was working on the patio walls and removing the concrete beams….left them to it, with Sergio concreting bathroom walls.

Decided to go to La Cañada at Marbella and eventually….after 3 weeks now….chose an expensive pair which J bought for my birthday. Went to Leroy Merlin to choose a mirror for one of the bathrooms, which will be “tiled” flush to the wall tiles to save space.

Returned to the house to review progress. The concrete beams gone, the bathroom walls concreted and Sergio working on patio walls. Checked the mirror size was ok …..fine for upstairs, and downstairs will take a bigger one.
