Just got my PC tower back yesterday from the IT shop; the tech told me I had a virus that caused the meltdown this time. He was unable to save anything and had to reinstall everything. Yet another nail in the coffin of the PC tower I think. With all these troubles one can encounter with a PC, I am becoming inclined to beleive that an Apple computer would be the better choice... I´m informed by MAC users that Apple products do not get infections and do not crash nearly as much as PCs do. No more MS windows would be nice. So I am looking into getting one of those now.
My ACER laptop is finally in working order with all the original softeware from the manufacturer which I had to buy extra and load myself to resolve all the problems caused by the IT store where I bought it. Fantastic, only 8 months after buying it, it finally works well.
We had a nice couple from Belgium here for 4 nights over the weekend and we also have an American guest who is spending a couple of weeks with us. She is doing some walking with the tour guide from the next village and so is exploring the area quite well. A bird watcher as well, she has recorded more than 25 varieties of bird seen already, some only heard.
Yesterday, Ivan and I saw a couple of Griffon vultures flying toward Júzcar very close to the fog that was lingering near the mountain tops. And a couple of days before that on my way to Ronda, I saw a couple of those vultures again near Cartajima, the next village. Hanging there looking for something and then shortly after that it was an eagle soaring around the mountain tops as well. The European Bee-Eater has already returned as well as all the swallows and other small birds.
The wild flowers are springing out now as well and today´s rain will help to rouse more flowers into bloom. The thistle is coming out in full force so Ineed to go out cut some to put on display in the bar.
We sold the last of the puppies this passed weekend to a young couple from Ronda. The pen-ultimate puppy went during Easter weekend to a young couple from Antequerra, here in Málaga province. They all appeared very happy and I was happy to see the little Chico heading out, now having a nice home of his own. Here is one of the last photos of the two together:
So adorable but lots of work. Ivan thinks perhaps one more litter but I am less sure about that.
Well this is it for this entry. Ciao.
