3^rd – 5^th May 2013

On Friday evening we were treated to a spectacular firework display that started around 10:45 and went on for about 20 minutes it was really good to watch although it set off a lot off car alarms and got the dogs barking again. It was another of those occasions when Pickles must have been glad to be deaf. We continue to do a lot of walking in the sunshine and have had a couple of swims in the pool. The bank holiday weekend continues for the Spanish and places seem a little more popular. Last night (Saturday) we tried a Nepalese restaurant that was full to the brim, mainly with brits. It was nice but the food wasn’t as good as the restaurants on the marina front. We also visited a charity shop and got chatting to an elderly couple who were a little eccentric. They were telling me that the Javea council are one of the few who have been managing to reduce their financial deficit. They were looking for a good film to watch and appeared quite well off, I asked them had they seen the Shawshank Redemption that was on the shelf for 2 euros. They hadn’t but thought the price was too high! Today we plan to watch the Lpool v Everton game, have a game of tennis and start packing up. Pickles is due another blood test tomorrow at 10am and after that we’ll probably either go about 15 miles into the mountains or head further down the coast to Mazarron.
