The picture shows me and Lucy testing out her new table and chairs for size (a wee bit small for me!)
Had a somewhat wasted morning, as we were supposed to be transferring banks at the notary today. Unfortunately nobody told Hop he need his residencia or some other proof of residency so it was no go. Quite amusing how the woman in there went from nice to nasty in approximately 60 seconds. I understand that she is a busy secretary working in an environment which can only be described as bedlam, but there really was no need for the face like a smacked bum. The torrent of spanish was something else. Lucky there was a bystander who said excuse her for butting in, then calmed hop down and translated in one easy swoop. Good job she was there because the other girl was not making it easy to understand by speaking so quickly.
On the way to the notary, after going to the bank, Hop took a detour to the volkswagon dealership in Los Cristianos. It would appear that he has fallen in love with the Touren (or maybe he likes that fact he can see his reflexion in the shiney new paintwork). I made choking noises at the price, although I stopped when he said he would probably leave it at home for me in the day. Hmmmm, do I believe him, or not? Nice thought, but I imagine that the reality will be different,once he obtains (and assuming he gets) possession of said vehicle. Tee hee! A Chelsea tractor none the less! We're starting to look quite posh!
Anyway, I'm off to do the park thing now with my mini me, so I'll say tara! for now.
