As per usual I am glad the summer is over and all the tourists have left and we have our Mojacar back to ourselves. I often wonder how we, the residents benefit from all the tourists - broken pots, graffiti, unmentionables on the roads and pavements, loud music, no where to park, cars abandoned everywhere. The biggest reward must go to the supermarkets, then the bars and restaurants. I wonder how many bar owners will see the winter out here, not many I bet.
Since my last post of here I have acquired another dog. He was rescued from a local village after being left tied up in the blazing sun all day. When I brought him home he was weak, thin, full of ticks and fleas, infection of eyes and ears and exhausted. Today I am glad to report he is now fully recovered from all these nasties. There is only one problem he does not like cats and I have two which he thinks he should chase, so unfortunately I cannot keep him as it is unfair to the cats whose home this is. Because he is old no one else wants him, and he so affectionate, gentle and no trouble apart from the cat situation. He loves going for a walk and walks very well on the lead, doesn't mind other dogs and is willing to please.
This is Lewis shortly after I rescued him.
This is Lewis today he hates having his photo taken and runs round and round me. Honestly he is a great deal happier although he doesn't look it.
I love my two cats and the things they get up to, although since acquiring the dog they spend most of the time indoors and with the heat of the summer sleeping.
Nothing like stretching out
The cats are not allowed on this chair but try telling QC that.
Brother and sister love.
I have been losing weight all summer in readiness for a hip replacement, that I hope will be very shortly, I see the anesthetist this month then will have to wait for the op date. The more weight I can lose the better it will be for me.
Earlier this week I went to see the film 2nd best Marigold Hotel, didn't think it as good as the first but Maggie Smith is a fantastic actress. Afterwards we were served an Indian based supper. The proceeds went towards our church here. I am still making the little 'cross in your pocket' in aid of church funds and have now made over 100. I will be coming to the end soon because I have no more plastic canvas left. This project all started from a talent that we launched in church where we all had 10€ and had to increase the original money.
Well we have had our downpour for approximately 30 minutes so will not have to water the plants tonight. I hope it was clean rain and not the horrible red stuff that colours everywhere. Glad I didn't clean the windows this week.
