Not an Arillas Today but more of an Arillas for many days before. Now I have finally got off my butt to update you guys with all the "goings on" in your favourite "goings on" spot. - Sitting comfortably??? - Could be a War n Peace size book here!!
I can tell you that February has been the wettest Feb for 10 years. - 320mm (most of which felt like it was in 3 days)
Caused much grief and leg biting to many of us here who wanna get outside and do some refurb/maintenance work.
March , so far , has been two steps up and one step down but we are getting there. To answer a recent question about the beach - One day we have loadsa kelp n weed n stuff and then , like today , the beach is good thanks to that wild breeze that sneaks the sea in and magic's the kelp away. Me-thinks a wide beach is on target for May, guys!!! -
Nearing the end of March, and with better weather, is bringing many locals out of many cupboards to get their places ready for many.
And.... talking of many.... There are many people here already and the completion is fierce looking for places to eat. Arm wrestling to see who gets the last table has not happened yet but twas a full Beach Kostas on Thursday and this afternoon ,( SATURDAY,) - it tired me out just watching the guys there running around like headless chickens.(Owners not customers) - So many people and a limited choice of where to go. Next week will be different.
(March , so far had been 130mm rainfall but I think nature has decided "Enuff is Enuff" and may take a rest)
Arillas changes?? - Well , those appts next to Rainbow have sprung on leaps n bounds and are looking good. (Ready for this year?? - Who knows)
Ina's Supermarket looks to have been gutted out and much re-furb going on inside plus a new roof. LOADSA WURK. I am told she has plans to re-open with the addition of super coffee bar area for May.
Alex Supermarket , equally has been busy. ( noted from the many old display cabinets discarded outside ) Busy ole boy he is.
I am sure that Horizon is/has re-vamped slightly - Cannot put my finger on the updates but the front does look different.
Coconut is "doing summit" but inside, and I do not like to peer, as is Malibu, Had a nice chat with George ( Guy never stops working!! )
The holes, in all the roads, keep moving around but the council continue to catch many and re-fill. Tis a long battle for them as is keeping those rubbish bins clear. So far so good.
Marina Pool bar , I think will be a great credit to the effort Billy n Danilelle are putting in.- plus of course others, -Motivation is with them-Keen to do a good job
Meanwhile , as PASKA approaches, so many visitors keep appearing . German, English , have bumped into a French couple and yesterday , an Italian family.
Right now, and I have to say it is 21 deg outside at 6pm, we all , in Arillas , have Beach Point and Kostas on the Beach , and Athina plus Marvel and Armourada to thank for keeping us all sane. I think Arillas will start to buzz and fully be awake in 2 weeks time. Looking forward to an open Brouklis and Night Owl maybe just after PASKA. - Maybe.
And.... talking of Brouklis - WOTSGOINONTHERE?? - Much work - Dimitris saying diddly - Surprise for Summer guests? another maybe.
Cheers to all who haven't fallen asleep yet and finally got to THE END.
