41. Electical stuff.

It seems that we have always had problems with the electric supply here in our house in Spain since the day we arrived in December, at first it was getting the supply switched on in the first place, then we found a few issues with some for the sockets and connections and even after we had that sorted out the main trip would keeps witching off if we had too much going on at the some time,. We found out that we only had a 3.2 KW supply to t he house so we upgraded and yesterday they switched us over to 5.9 KW so now we can have the washing machine and the kettle on at the same time..phew!!! The local builder who we contacted to get some work done who promised to get back to us with a quote in a couple of weeks...two months ago has failed to do so,we have sent him messages which we know he has read but he hasn't answered us so it looks like we will be looking for a new builder in the next couple of weeks.



We have had some stunning days in the last week or so and it did get very warm last Sunday over 30 degrees if this is an indication of what the rest of the year will be like then wow I can't wait. We said goodbye to our faithful Citroen last week it was rather emotional actually as that car was really the last bit of England that we had, and on top of that we have now made an appointment to change our driving licences over to Spanish one, something we have to do if we want to continue to drive in Spain post Brexit. We are still waiting to find out about our 7 year temporary residency cards as Spain is waiting for Brexit to get sorted first, this may take forever!!!.

Willow is starting to settle down a bit she is getting into a routine and now knows what time she is supposed to gout for a walk by waiting by the door, in the mornings she waits to be let out, harry still has his moments with her regarding personal space LOL but she is learning. Her new harness arrived yesterday and she loves it thank god as it gives up more control over her.


I have been trying very hard to get to grips with the language here and I now have a vocabulary of around 100 words, still not enough though oh well best get on with the decorating then.
