Broadband and Birthday in the Square

The ongoing saga of trying to get broadband connected. Workmen turned up at 8.00am and dug up the drive and installed cable and junction boxes.

 Now its up to the national phone company to connect us online, its only been 8 weeks, so we will see what happens next.











On Saturday day evening we made our way down to the Vraka tavern where Steve was celebrating his birthday and was kind enough to invite us.

Don't Panic Mr Mannering

Well after my last post about clearing the scrub land, it was a bit of a surprise to look out of the window this evening and see the hill opposite ablaze.











A few of the local residents tried in vain to get the flames under control. The local fire brigade arrived after 30 minutes and soon got contol of the fire before it reached nearby properties.

Clearing the Scrub and a visit to The Giraffe

With the ever present worry of bush fires breaking out, it was good to see the scrub land next our house being cleared by a JCB.











As the temps climb into the 30's we decide to cool  off by visiting the new sport/music bar that has opened in the village. "The Giraffe" pub is being run by a couple of British guys and we wish then all the best in their new venture.
