Settling in....sort of

It's been a couple of months or so since I wrote my last blog and that's because we (my hubby and I) have been sooooo busy marketing etc our business. It seems to be paying off as we now have a couple of paying clients from the USA but we need lots more if we want to buy our villa outright for cash within 3 years - yes! that's our business plan.
The rest of the time that has not been spent on promoting the business and actually working for clients has been spent getting used to the area of Mijas Golf and Puebla Aida where we are renting a delightful one bed apartment. The best thing about this place is that I can clean it in half an hour - the worst is that there is nowhere to escape to if things are a bit fraught!
We have now got our NIE number and Social Security numbers but still need to register with a GP/doctor and we both badly need a haircut. We will get round to that next week I think.
Some of our family came and stayed with us for a couple of days which was lovely if a little crowded but the place now feels bigger than ever. Our human brains are so easily conned.
The weather is a little on the hot side but I am enjoying it - I am having hot flushes which aren't as bad here as they were in the UK as the outside temp here is much higher so when "I'm having a flush" I'm actually only a degree or two hotter than the weather. If I was in the UK I would be about 20 degress hotter than the weather.
Our two old dogs are enjoying it I think although one of them, Douggie, is panting a lot more than the other one, Lucy but it will get a little cooler after 6 weeks or so and he should be fine.
Catch up with you soon!
