Moving house

After 2-and-a-bit months of house-sitting in Rio Bermusa near La Vinuela, we’ve moved away to house-sit for another person called Neil Armstrong ( with initials NASA !) near Orgiva in the foothills of the Alpujarras.
We are not actually living with Neil as he has gone back to Britain for a month or two so we’re just here until he comes back in a month or two. His house is pretty big and there is lots of cleaning and some rebuilding to do around the house. He has some almond trees, a small overgrown veg patch, olive trees and two cats.
We arrived on the 26th of January and Neil left the 28th of January so we had a few days to get used to the place and ask some questions.
There is unlimited wifi in the house which is great for school and stuff but we've had lots of problems getting our laptops to connect.
So far we have cleared out and organized the main rooms in the house and cleared up a bit outside. Although the house is big, we have decided just to live upstairs because it is easier to heat. There is one medium sized room upstairs and an equally big patio which is in the sun most of the time. Mum and Dad sleep in a room downstairs, Jay and I sleep upstairs and we eat upstairs. We also relax there and school is done up there too.
