Happy, happy notes!!!

We love our apartment.

It is everything that we could have wished for. The size we wanted. At a price that suited our finances. Bedrooms the right size and the right number. A kitchen that has everything we need. Bathrooms that are tastefully furnished. The whole apartment is exactly as the specifications said it would be. Furnished exactly as we wanted it due to our impecable taste and what felt like many hundreds of hours spent in furniture showrooms  . In the perfect location for what we wanted. Walking distance to the beach. Perched on top of a small hill, which whilst doesnt give us sea views (we did'nt ask for them so not sometihing that is omitted) we have wonderful views of the hills leading up the Casares road which take in a lot of the new golf clubs which have been recently constructed. How wonderful to know that that golf clubs will always ensure that we have green and pleasant views to look at. It also of course keeps the husband a very happy man as whenever we get out he gets to play rounds of golf to his hearts content. Be it literally just across the road,or further afield if he should so wish. It is peaceful. The 'council' seem to come round fairly often, certainly always when we are out and keep the surrounding areas as clean and tidy as they can.

If you take yourself down to the local chirinquito and turn right we have a lovely stroll along the beach to Sabinillas. You can take as long as you like or make it in 20mins if in a hurry. But why hurry. What joy to just stroll along the seashore taking in the fabulous surroundings.

Sabinillas we love. Have found a couple of the local restaurants that we seem to frequent on a regular basis. Many of these have been mentioned by others who live in the area.

Our particular favourite restaurant is MIel. The Belgian restaurant/bar. We  find it a very reasonable price. The staff are always very friendly and attentive.They do a mean salad if you want to keep things simple or you can have a more substantial meal if required. We just spend most of our time in there either dinking a coffee, a beer and just looking out to sea. What a difficult decision to have to make on how to spend an afternoon.

Stroll a little further to Duquesa and go and visit the 'mad' Canadian in the Straw Donkey. Go there on a Sunday and enjoy the breakfast. Sometimes you just have to revert back to your old ways and have a good full on Breakfast,heaven.

Spain, we love it.

Normansands,

why are you such a misery?

Having an apartment  along from Sabinillas that we use for holidays I have been closely following the message thread for Casares Del Sol complex which is just up the roadfrom us. I know you are very well aquainted with this complex and those around it as you got the back up of nearly everyone on that site with your constant negativity and complaining. You spent months grumbling and causing lots of upset to people who are just trying to make the best of what they have.

Are you bored? Need someone elses enjoyment to ruin? Is that why you you have come into this thread?

I apologize to other posters for these comments about Normansands and will not be posting anyting else again regarding the gentleman but it just makes me angry that someone who obviously has nothing else to do all day feels the need to put a dampner on others enjoyment. Be it current enjoyment or the potential of future happiness in Spain which a lot of us aspire to.

Again, you may feel I should keep my opinion to myself, and you are probably right as it makes me no better thatn Normansands so I will shut up now and say no more.

Frozen Cows

> A farmer goes out to his field one morning only to find his entire herd of cows frozen solid. As far as the eye can see are cows, motionless like statues.

> It had been a bitterly cold night, but he'd never thought anything like this would happen.
>
> The realization of the situation then dawned on him.With his entire livestock gone, how would he make ends meet? How would he feed his wife and kids? How would he pay the mortgage? He sat with his head in his hands, trying to come to terms with his impending poverty. Just then, an elderly woman walked by, 'What's the matter?' asked the old lady.

> The farmer gestured toward the frozen cows and explained his predicament to the woman.

> Without hesitation the old woman smiled and began to rub one of the cows' noses. After a few seconds the cow began to twitch and was soon back to normal and chewing the cud.
> 
> One by one, the old woman defrosted the cows until the whole field was full of healthy animals.The farmer was delighted and asked the woman what she wanted as a repayment for her deed.
>
> She declined his offer and walked off across the field. A passer-by who had witnessed the whole thing approached the farmer. 'You know who that was don't you?' asked the passer-by.

> 'No' said the farmer 'who is she?'
