The House of Williams.

"Antique floor mosaics were restored and polished, oak doors were released from the wood worm, the complete front of the building and the decorated roof was set by professional building restorers in conditions, partly broken mosaic glass windows were renewed and many, many details more. Villa ACACIAS offers to its clients also a beautiful garden behind the building were our guests find shady terraces under palm trees and space to relax and recreate."

Julian's UK boss was asking why everything was going so slowly. Julian had been averaging 4 hotels a day, and he informed her that it was going to take 3.96 years at this rate to finish them. Feverishly, she typed on. The job was not make any easier by driving to the outback to buy rough opal parcels from hard working miners, or driving 10 hours up the coast to Hervey Bay on purported family business.

The family business was in full swing, and the subjects were a little sensitive. Julian would have to tread carefully. Life and death were in her hands, and only Jehovah really had any say in those particular subjects.

"Located in a building that dates back to the 19^th century and that has been fully restored is the attractive and inviting Acacia Hotel. Just 12 kms from the airport and within walking distance of the park, our guests can catch a nearby bus and explore Malaga, including the famous Picasso Museum-Birth House. Admire the antique floor mosaics and the oak doors of our hotel, and relax in spacious, elegantly furnished rooms. Stroll in the tranquil garden or sit back on our shady terrace under the palm trees. Enjoy a drink from the bar before experiencing the regional cuisine from our restaurant."

Julian's hair needed washing. Their was blood on her shirt from the carving of the ice from her sister's freezer. Her thumb was covered in cheap plasters, and she had been offered further work in the Queensland mortuary. Her diet couldn't get any worse and her sister's dog was dying. Her other sister had just had a baby, and was due to arrive tomorrow lunchtime. Her ex-husband had to be driven to the train station is just one hour, and the dog needed a drink. That was enough to be going on with. She would just have to take it one step at a time. There was a family outing planned in an obscure, well respected in the region, restaurant known as 'Goodies', where a well known guitarist would be playing. Julian hoped that the dog would behave itself if tied to a tree in the vicinity.

Life was good.
