To pick up where I left off... it ended up taking Steve all afternoon to re-do the awning after the gust, all in the real heat of the day - not the birthday prezzie he would have wished for! But we went out after to Palamos with Degsy and - on the way to the restaurant Steve had chosen - he saw a lovely one on the seafront Degsy knows well so we went there instead. Steve ended up his birthday with a fabulous Irish Coffee, courtesy of Mary (thought Irish coffee seemed most appropriate).
Were proud of ourselves on Thursday morning when we negotiated a great deal for a satellite dish so we can receive British TV anywhere in Europe; we had been told they were a lot cheaper over here as everyone uses them - and they were! Haven't yet got it going because other things have been happening...
In the afternoon, made friends with nice couple, Les & Jean, behind us on the terrace above, and asked them over for drinks later tonight (Friday).
Got up this morning to find all our electricity was off and - so as not to bore you more than necessary - it took all morning to get sorted. The people running the site weren't as helpful as they could have been and we weren't happy from a safety angle with what they set up for us so we went about 5 miles to Palafrugell to get a special adapter you need for this campsite. Cost us 16 Euros and a morning but will be worth it if it has solved the problem! Les and Jean gave us some good advice and we thank them for this.
After having had no breakfast, we sank into a couple of nice chairs on Sant Antoni seafront and drank beer until they would serve us food at 1.00pm.
Have spent a quiet afternoon, all of trying to keep cool, but there is a nice breeze at the mo which is refreshing us nicely. Time to blog off and get everything ready for Les and Jean coming...
