Everything but the right key

We woke up in our comfy new bed after a good quiet night's sleep to find it was raining. Low cloud shrouded the Sierra de Mijas for most of the day and the rain came and went.

There were just nine of us for the midweek Eucharist at St Andrew's and apart from the helpers there weren't many more visitors to the Coffee Morning afterwards either. So we spent most of the rest of the day at home, checking out which keys did what, unpacking, organising the kitchen, learning how to use a new electric stove with touch sensitive controls, and a state of the art set of kitchen pans.

An engineer from Telefonica came to activate the phone line and broadband link. I was able to let him into the garage area to access the telecoms cabinet, but it was locked with a special key held only by the president of the urbanizacion and/or property estate manager. Neither were contactable, so his mission was aborted. I wonder how long it will take to obtain the key? Meanwhile I have my local mobile phone tethered to the computer for period access to tide me over.

This was the view from the same study window after the cloud lifted, late afternoon.

 One way or another, it's a pretty nice view to stare at out of the study window. In the morning lots of different birds feed on the patch of open ground across the road, awaiting a rise in demand for new build houses when the economy improves.
