Roof without caucho

Friday 17^th November

It rained most of the night, but dawned reasonably bright and sunny. Heard the falcons and saw them briefly, but too fast to take any pictures. After breakfast, drove down the camino rural road, which had a few streams across it, with the ford through the river at the bottom still passable.

Tommy and Sergio were concreting the patio, kitchen and bathroom, hoping for no rain today and Saturday to allow it to dry. Most of the caucho on the bathroom had washed off in the rain overnight, and Tommy agreed it would have to be re-done.

Back to the village about 4 pm, and had a walk round town. By now, it was very cold and windy…..cold enough to get our winter coats out. After tea, we went for another walk and saw a herd of goats returning at dusk, holding up a bus. We then discovered a nice bar and had a couple of wines and tapas …..a sort of fried sardine type fish and enchilada rusa. Stopped off at our regular bar for a wine, and then back to the house for blog update, reading and cribbage.
