Monday was busy getting all the information we needed to take care of this place and the guess.  For those of you who do not know we are housesitting  at a farmhouse over 150 years old. The bottom has two apartments and there is a cottage that are rented out.  Our first guess will be coming next Tuesday so gives us a bit of time to get our feet on the ground.  After "orientation". John and Mair took us to town and introduced us to several people and then we went for beer and tapas. Tapas can be almost anything from pork,chicken, chips vegetables ....  Seems like there are always scrumptious. We all went out to dinner over on the coast on the Mediterranean.  A fabulous restaurant, family owned and operated.   We had a three course meal, wine included all for 10 euros each ($15). The drive was mostly olive groves.     Went to my first knitting lesson yesterday morning, met 7 more woman from the UK.  Some towns around have almost 50% population from UK.  Lubrin has less that 10%. The population of Lubrin is 500.  John and Mair left for their holiday yesterday afternoon.

We had our first incident, Ter working on the lawn mower, plugged in an extension cord and half the power in all units was gone.  He has learned some nuances about the electrical workings in Spain.  Ter says the  tool situation is minimal so getting things done is a challenge.  Went to town today to "market" streets loaded with vendors, fruits, veggies, bread, meats , clothes.  Went to  a hardware store to get a rasp, actually were able to get our request understood but no rasps.  Luckily or (as the Brits say we were Jammy)  we ran in to Hayden one of the Young Americans we met and he had the tools Ter needed.  A bit cold and rainy today so the fire is going.
