Pool day 8: Darwin Award

After all that watering the pool needs to be drained.

Pool day 7: terrace

Today and tomorrow the terrace will be done: concrete to put the tiles on, at a good slope for getting rid of water.

The level of the tiles in front of the front door.

Provided it does not rain of cou... damn!

Nibble

After shoes someone has nibbled the house a bit. This house has suffered some quite some nibbling in the past, but still.

What? Me??

Agua riega and the old neighbour

After Zoomba's adventure and a late night in we were woken at 6 in the morning by hammering outside. Are they working already? No. It's the old man of the orchard next door, who wanted to water his trees. And then your water gate is cemented shut, as the water has been rerouted via a tube. But, at 6 in the morning it's still half dark, and at his age eyesight is less, so he had not seen it. And then you just try to hammer out the gate. Lucky he did not succeed, although he managed to crack the porch. And yes, its leaking a bit.

Zoomba's adventure

The fence has a gap for the digger machine and other work. Intended was to use the big gate,
but that wasn't big enough, so a portion of the fence and wall were taken out. And Zoomba's are smart enough to notice.
And take advantage. Especially if there's a hint of cat or a suspicion of rabbit, freedom calls. And that freedom was enjoyed! From seven in the evening till half past one at night. And what do you do a a responsible parent? As you understand.. We let the light on, the door ajar, a window open, and you peek out of the window to see if you see her coming. Lucky Papaya has excellent hearing too, so she noticed Zoomba even before we did.

And as a youngster (that she still is at three years = 3x7=21) she was enormously hungry and thirsty after her escapades. And she smelled of grass (the cow food stuff) and dust. We're sure she had a terrific time.

We're very happy she's back.

Pool day 2

That's not enough. Small mistake. More later. (It's just a floor to work on, not an actual part of the construction.)
