Celebrations, Family And A Tortoise

It's been a busy old week down here in Mojacar, all good fun though.

I took the doggies for a walk up the hill behind the villa to get a different shot of it, ours is the white place on the right ...

The new dogs are settling in well.  We took them for their vaccinations the other day but we will wait a few more weeks before we get them vaccinated against rabies and get their pet passports in order ...  

On Monday we went to a restaurant to celebrate Andy and Sue's (NB Festina Lente) wedding anniversary.  I forgot to get a pic of the happy couple but I did get a pic of Elaine with Canadian Barry sharing a sushi boat !

On Wednesday we drove down to Almeria for Elaine's blood test.  It's about a 20 minute drive to the closest motorway and as we were travelling along a fast two lane road we spotted what we thought was a big rock in the road.  As we got closer we realised it was a tortoise.  So, it was on with the anchors and hazard lights and I managed to grab it before it got squashed.   I took it into the bush and released him and away he went.  There are quite a few about at the moment, they are coming out of hibernation and they like the heat of of the black road surface..... 

We have had my sister and niece here for the last few days and they have been enjoying the beach and sunshine ...

Yesterday we went on a beach bar pub crawl to celebrate the birthday of Canadian Barry ...

This morning we went to the town hall with an interpreter to apply to go on the local register, this is the start of our living legally in Spain campaign!

It's the last day of my relos visit so we joined them for lunch at a beach bar then drove them to the very windy watchtower ,,,

I take my relos to the airport tomorrow.  On Saturday we have two more visitors arriving from the Scottish Highlands!!!
