Monday, September 1

Lots of stuff :)

So now September is with us and the temperatures have cooled down with a cooling breeze, bliss :) The cultural week has come to a close and in 2 weeks the kids will be back at school and the piscina will close.
Amanda Julio and Isolde came over for a meal on Sat - Julio has a new song he wants to record so he & Del started with the guitar and then Isolde played the fiddle for D to record - she is an absolutely delightful young woman and I hope she will be back again sooner rather than later, when they had finished recording we all headed up to the plaza to see the Flamenco - mostly children but very cute and a nice evening for Isolde who was flying back to Ireland yesterday.
Mike and Nyna - [hospitality club] arrived yesterday early evening having driven down from Granada, Mike is from London and works in environment issues [just like Lau] and Nyna a beautiful fun lady from Brazil, so we ended up going out again first to Lorenzo's for some tapas and a glass of good rioja then up to Bar Nuevo just to sit and enjoy the night and talk - Mike is very well traveled and both have many interesting tales to tell including their wedding in Brazil last year.

......the Moringa oleifera, the Horseradish Tree, known by many other names, including the Drumstick Tree, the Ben Oil tree, and Mother’s Best Friend. This is so fascinating just had to share - definitely would like to grow this little honey :) Apart from all it's incredible health properties I would love to try and make the dye - thanks Val for such an interesting and well researched subject - I know Eli will like this :)
I hope you are keeping safe in the wild weather Val - it looked quite scary when I saw some news yesterday I have yet to see how things are developing

"Coincidences" - this weekend I get an email from the gorgeous gay jay who has moved onto MySpace - we haven't heard from him for quite a while - then Del says an old friend had contacted him, they had been in the same band while still at school - now that is going back a fair while LOL - thing is D had been wondering about him a couple of days earlier and again it was through MySpace
an email from David with some pictures of what our vllage could look like if the quarry is opened.....
"Took a trip to the quarry on the other mountain yesterday. At the big one we tried to get a video but it was so dusty the lens covered ,There was no wind and no one working. We found traces of dust as seen on the roads up to the main Coin Mijas road about 1.5 km. I think the traffic speeding past moves it into the verge
The trees close are dead and the rest are sick .It is even on the power lines. You feel dirty after half and hour there and even the kids say they could taste it
