Who would have imagined that we are now in July and still in the caravan. So many problems to sort out still, that we are both exhausted and could do with a holiday. We saw a new plumber today, for ten minutes, he is Juan and he might return to start work tomorrow (that’s not necessarily the day after today), but then again he might not.
Whilst we were driving back from Albox today, after looking at sofa beds, I misjudged a narrow bit of tarmac road down in a rambla and hit a large rock with the front off side wheel. There was an almighty bang and crash that I thought that the engine had fallen out of the car. Elayne called me a very religious name and then we came to a halt. The tyre had burst on impact and the wheel might or might not be a write off. We are on the ‘get you home tyre’ now, which it did, we just hope that it will also get us back down to Albox tomorrow (see above) again to get a new tyre and assess the wheel damage.
Good old Wimbledon is at least taking our minds off the house for a while.
Sorry that there are not many pictures just now but there is really not a lot happening that might be relevant to the blog. The campo is now crispy brown and spitefully spiky when you walk through the shrubbery. This is the hot summer terrain and it will stay this way for quite sometime yet.
