The pool is finished... now all we need are some guests to use it and a bit warmer weather. It´s still quite fresh here and in the evenings, quite cool. Last night, however was more comfortable.

We had a good Easter with many guests from Sevilla staying with us who were quite nice and really enjoying themselves. My dad was visiting from NYC as well for a week; he wanted to be here for my birthday which was on Easter this year. As Ivan´s parents were here as well, we were full in the house. My dad was very popular with all the townsfolks too. He was taken around one day by a hotel guest to all the village events which included free food by the river and then the loud festivities of the townsfolks in the village center.

The weather this year was better than last as we had less rain, although rain it did a couple of the days. Last year, Semana Santa was a wash out for the bigger celebrations such as Sevilla due to a lot of rain.

We´ve planted lots of flowers and plants in the pool area, the filter finally arrived on Wednesday and has been busy cleaning the water ever since. It´s almost there, ready for a few photos. I´ll be taking some shots in a day or so when I can set up a good scenario, poolside.

We´ve got a couple from Switzerland staying with us now; there was another Swiss couple who were here earlier in the week for a night.

We also have one French Bulldog puppy left for sale. We sold the pen-ultimate one last weekend to a Spaniard from Antequerra. Honestly, I can´t wait to be rid of the last pup.... too much work now with the other dogs. And Lolita has a rash and has been to the vet three times in the last couple of weeks so we have enough work with the dogs without having to care for a pup. Any one interested locally?
