Day 198 - A very busy Tuesday..even with the noise and dust!

Well, out of the blue we had a really busy day today in the cafe. It didn't seem to matter to our hardened regulars that there was dust and dirt flying everywhere, (we gave up trying to wipe the dust away after the 24th time) and the noise was as deafening as ever, there they were, chomping heartily on our freshly cooked wares!

It was reminiscent of a August day. From the moment we had set up and poured ourselves a coffee, in they came. And came, and came.... Madness! Why the sudden rush? Who knows....., who cares?

Talking of sudden rushes, it would appear that the workmen have had a bit of a kick up the backside! They were like a swarm of bees at times today. High viz jackets everywhere... Here's some pictures of them!...





Not sure if I'm being paranoid, but the Spanish guy that has owned the restaurant across the road from us for 30 odd years and has the town hall in his back pocket, has several men outside working furiously to get the work finished, and yet us, the English couple who have been here 3 1/2 years have one knob head digging up the road outside ours AGAIN. The work started on our side of the road 7 WEEKS AGO and the front of our cafe looks like a tip. They started work on the opposite side of the road 7 DAYS ago and have nearly finished. It maybe paranoia, but I doubt it.... Here's a picture of Senor Knobhead...

Today was also the day we undertook our first property management job. It was 'only' a villa clean, but you gotta start somewhere! Our business cards arrived today from Vistaprint. Not that I'm on commission, but what a service. Paid nothing for 500 business cards, and paid just 7.99€ postage. Here's what they look like...

So after a long and busy day, I decided to have a simple supper of chicken with lentils. It's been on the menu at work on and off for a month or so, and I had never eaten it as a meal, so decided tonight was the night. I had some spinach in the fridge that the rabbit hadn't yet feasted upon, so chucked that in as well. I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Although not a great picture, here's what I ate...

Okay, that's it. Time for bed!
Speak to you all soon
