Another chilled out day in Olvera;the sun is back out and temperatures in the mid twenties. Nothing much to do today except nip down to the Correos (Post Office) to send a letter to our friends Ralph & Lesley in Randwick. After posting the letter, we sat down for a while in the park opposite, which I believe is called the Parque Jardines de la Victoria, built above a recently completed covered car park. Just a few pics of the flora and fauna starting to bloom.
According to Anne, this plant is called the "toilet brush" plant, quickly changed to it's proper name of "bottle brush" after a few moments thought.
We sat for about twenty or so minutes then started off for home. Calling in at the supermarket to replenish the vino we bumped into Stan, who with his wife Chris moved here from Weston Super Mare three weeks ago. We had a chat about settling in, the various bureaucratic processes in Spain and the weather of course.
Leaving Stan, we tootled off home to bump into near neighbour Bill who was off downtown to sort a few things out. Gerry, his wife, is away in Madrid at the moment so Bill has been doing some minor repairs to the house.
Tomorrow we are off to Pruna market again as Anne wants to buy another blouse, similar to the one she bought a couple of weeks ago.
John, who we met at the wedding last weekend, rang us yesterday and invited us out to his house in the small hamlet of Villalones on Saturday morning for a coffee so we are really looking forward to that. No doubt pictures will follow with a post on Saturday.
