Friday & Saturday 6th & 7th July

Friday 6-7-2007
As we have a busy day today, we went shopping last night. We set off at about half past six and returned to camp about eight o’clock. We found that the original plumber was sat in his car waiting for our return so that he could fit the gas water heater. No one bothered to tell us about this event, therefore we could not have anticipated his arrival. However it did mean that yesterday was not a complete ‘wash out’ as far as the house is concerned. The plumber ended up working until well after half past ten to finish the job. How civilised to have hot water in the house at last. It was last September down at El Pinar since we had this luxury.

‘E’ Well here we are , another weekend is upon us, and we are still spending it in the caravan.
Neither the builder nor the kitchen/electrics man is showing the slightest interest in bringing this long drawn out project to a successful conclusion. Meantime, we sit and watch, and tear our hair out.
On a brighter note, the two lads who are building our garage have made great progress today, good job somebody has.
Yesterday our good friend Allen came up to install the water softener, and the water purifier for us. He was with us all day and has done a magnificent job. Many thanks Allen, we are very grateful to you,(and to Mags also).
Last night, as I couldn’t be bothered to cook, we went to El Rancho’s for a meal, and then back to Lentisco’s for a coffee and a lovely dessert. It was a warm, calm night, and a break for Paul, who had spent all the day working with Allen.,(and for me, I spent nearly all day watching the tennis, very tiring).
