Brilliant Builders from Ronda and from Chile.

Dear Reader,

What a glorious day it’d been on the Costa del Sol. Almost December and I’m in a tee shirt. This really nice weather has brought out lots of bar restaurant customers, which is just as well, as we have to pay-off Claudio our builder tomorrow. We won’t see him again in the bar for quite a while, as he’s going back to Chile were his wife is really missing him. However if we find a project to invest in here, we may well, bring him back to do the renovation, as he can do most trades to a good standard and we get back 25% of what we pay him, as he loves spending time in our bar restaurant after he has done his days work.

The bricklayers from Cuevas del Becero,Ronda, Mateo and Co have finished the two main entrances to our urbanization, so I am really featuring them here today, as they have done a fantastic job of constructing two decorative rustic brick arches. The have been traveling backwards and forwards from Ronda to work here on the Costa del Sol each day, so I feel sure that they are looking forward to being based back in Ronda town tomorrow. They think it’s really great that I have taken their pictures and pictures of their wonderful work and that they will appear on the web. I’ll include their contact details and they can be contacted through my website. Mateo Construciones y ReformasTel: (00 34 )659 84 88 90Whilst we have had 20 happy years in the bar restaurant in Marbella, Costa del Sol, we do want to sell it and do something completely different for a few years. We like the idea of buying an old property and refurbishing it to a good specification, so all the contacts that we have made will come in useful when the time does eventually come.

Cheers

Graham .

Costa del Sol Joins the Modern World.


Dear Reader,

Olivia and me were in the bar/ restaurant earlier, mainly cleaning up after the electrician’s work. Happily now the bar floor is squeaky clean once more.

Before we left home I took a few snaps of the Puppies

Yorkie Puppies in Estepona-San Pedro,Take first steps, at 3 weeks.

who are now allowed to leave their whelping box on sprees and explore the enclosed terrace. It has been great fun watching them learning the rudiments of walking. A few friends from the bar restaurant have been up to take pictures and to see them, but we don’t allow any handling, as Sami the mother gets really agitated when that happens.

Claudio is trying to wear several hats at the same time in finishing off some of the jobs in the apt, repairing the glass- fibre roof over the bar restaurant terrace and also trying to get his daughter’s apt ready to hand back to the owners on Friday. We have been helping him by shopping for plaster and tiles etc, which is why we were to be found in the bar so early this morning.

Do you remember when if you wanted a pair of taps,

The old family run type feriteria on the Costa del Sol.

you’d simply go to the local hardware shop and buy them; well that’s all gone here in Estepona and on the Costa del Sol in general. All shopping for DIY or building and plumbing bits is done in big out of town commercial parks or (poligonos industriales).

Costa del Sol new style commercial parks come with landscaped round abouts. ( Pictured here San Pedro-Marbella).

They have so much stock, a lot of choice and bills are fully computerized, so that when you need to change anything, it can all be done in a flash.

Yes! The Costa del Sol is entering the modern world with great gusto!

Cheers

Graham .

We Are Prisoners in our own Bar, Restaurant and Take-Away, All Day Today!

Dear Readers,

Today the builders are putting the finishing touches to our kitchen floor at home and we have become prisioners in our own bar, restaurant and take-away in Marbella. We have been told that we cannot walk on the new tiles for 12 hours. However we do have tiles in our bar and are free to walk on them, plus we have food, drink, toilets and lovely clients, so what’s the problem However it’ll be really nice when we can actually return home to our apt and walk on our own floor. Tonight we will not be able to even enter the kitchen, but fortunately we do have a bar in our lounge and the fridge containing the ice cubes is currently in the entrance hall, so we’ll go to bed happy!

Cheers

Graham .

Lovely Luna Comes To Visit the Bar Restaurant.

Dear Readers,

A family of good friends and good customers at our bar restaurant in Marbella-West; Tony, Yara and their lovely 10m year old daughter left the area to head for Malaga city where Tony has a cracking job doing IT development work in an industrial park just outside Malaga. They call us at the bar regularly and usually come to visit us at work in the bar on Saturdays.

Luna is a very loving little child and it’s a great pleasure to see her each week. At the moment as soon as she arrives at the bar restaurant, Tony goes off on local business, InĂ©s chats with Yara and Luna comes to the apt to play with the Yorkie puppies. She says she likes going to school in

Malaga, but preferred her school here in Cancelada, Estepona.

Cheers

Graham .
