Yesterday was a sad day for us we have had no choice but to get rid of my old faithful Citroen Berlingo, This car has done me proud over the years and I don't care what people say about Citroen's I would have another in a heartbeat.However the European insurance cover runs out at the end of the Month and the Tax and MOT are due first week in April and seeing that I am not driving her all the way back to the UK then we have no choice but to let her go.
What you can't see of course is the damage on the other side where I hit the barriers in the middle of the road on the way down to Spain, she was due to be collected Tuesday but that was also the day I was due to have another tooth removed and because of the problems that I had been having I was prescribed Valium so Lorni had to drive me to and from the dentists so we re-arranged the car pick up for Wednesday and the car is now gone,,sob sob. and so is another tooth sob sob.
A couple of days back we noticed that the hot water had disappeared and we had a leak coming form the tank, We got hold of the service company who came out the next day they found the element had been overheating for two reasons it was completely calcified and for some reason the timer had been set by the previous owner to run constantly 24/7 even though it is only a top up heater for the solar panel but once the service and repairs had been done they engineers had found the solar panel pump had never been connected ..hmmmm
So after 4 hours of work the guys have now got everything working as it should, this should bring the electricity bill down a bit as well I hope. At this moment n time the house is upside down as we now have Alan the electrician in making our house a little safer with two new trip panels in and some wiring replaced and light fittings sorted out, we are still waiting to hear form the local builder about our ceiling and floors...well it is Spain...!! One thing we can not get here in Spain is a paste table believe it or not so we have had to order one and as soon as that arrives I will start on re-decorating our bedroom and the guest bedroom.
As far as our new family member is concerned..well Willow is getting better and better as a family pet but! we are still having problems with other dogs she seems very aggressive towards most of them so I now use a muzzle on her when other dogs come into view I am hoping this will eventually calm her down.
Harry now ignores her unless he wants to play as well but he does tell her off from time to time when she crosses the line like above, as Willow has no idea about personal space LOL She is work in progress but is is going in the right direction for now at least,
