Monday and Tuesday, yes, more olives! 240 kgs but no pruning just harvesting although they were on very weedy land, trying to get the nets down under trees where there were lots of nettles and stuff. Wednesday, Thursday and today we have been tackling large, overgrown trees which had to be cut back to the original trunk, the olives were way out from the tree and unreachable, even with a 3 metre pole. But we have 4 more sacks of olives and more fire wood.
Went to take the recycling stuff this morning, bottles, cartons and cans, and collected the mail on the way. Had to go to the post office to sign for a letter, turned out to be the rates bill. Normally 9 euros, but this year its gone up to 18!!!! (yes that's for the year, but we don't pay for our water - we have a spring - or have a rubbish collection here.) Maybe we' re paying more because the mayor allegedly spent 10,0000 euros on a survey to turn our track into a 2-lane road without first checking who owns the track.......we do. i.e the owners of the land between Yegen and Yator and he didn't find this out before hand!
The weather.......absolutely wonderful. 13 degrees at 8 this morning and we had breakfast outside, 19.9 at 3.30 this afternoon.
