Hi,

Olivia and me went to San Pedro this morning. We are driving Inelda’s car till we get our jeep back from Klause (Alternator gone west.). I picked the car up from outside our bar restaurant this morning and noticed that all the dust caps were missing from the wheels. This is bad for the valves, as they need to be kept dry and dust free and also it allows kids to let the tyres down by just pushing say a door key into the valve. We decide before having our breakfast in bar Ricardo in San Pedro, to stop in at the Michelin tyre place and get 8 dust caps. The mechanic gave us the dust caps and refused to take any money. Would that happen in England?

We like bar Ricardo, as they have a great range of tapas and a large terrace surrounded by beautiful trees. It’s one of the few bars with easy parking and they are happy for me to use my sun-lounger on their terrace.

Sandra who is one of the waitresses at Bar Ricardo has started learning English, so As she is such a nice person, I have offered to help her with her English. The plan is that she will come to our apt some evenings after she finishes work in the bar, that would mean her arriving at about 9pm. We would do an hour’s conversation and then I would drop her in Estepona, where she is currently living. Sandra is a really hard working young woman from Ecuador and I am sure she will do well for herself once she can speak English. Let’s wish her good luck!

Olivia had a great time with all her friends and family in DR, but the weather there was very humid and it rained quite frequently, which meant that they were driven of the beach and forced to find a bar near the sea. The weather here on the Costa del Sol is much nicer. We have about 300 days of sunshine per year and the air is much drier with a cooling breeze faintly in evidence most of the time. The Costa del Sol is the ideal location for sitting in a sleeveless or short sleeved top and eating and drinking “en plein aire” on a pretty bar or restaurant terrace. A good friend of mine, Robert who has travelled all around the world, is always telling me that the Costa del Sol has the best all round climate of any country in the world.
