When it rains in Spain it really rains I have never seen a downpour like it, then the thunder and lightening, then more rain. Well thank god it didn't last too long.
A couple of things have been done this week, after a lot of mucking about and googling we have made an appointment to get our Green Cards these are 5 year temporary residency cards, we have to have our earlier NIE numbers, proof of income and health insurance and then fingers crossed that will be another problem sorted. Another small problem we sorted this week was the car, we had only had it a few days when I noticed that there was a small crease on the rear passenger door drivers side, a car park job, it really pissed me off as I could see it plain as day every time I got within a 100 feet of the car, then Lorni just clipped the wall at the end of the road here, it is very narrow.
I know it's not much but I thought sod it lets get it done so off to the bodyshop it went and I was shocked that the price to sort it out was so low?? we picked the car back up on Friday and it looks new again...for now.. We also took all the paint we bought from "Leroy Merlin" back as it is totally shit, we have bought some more paint from a more reputable shop so I'll be getting on with that next week.
Also this week was my wedding anniversary Lorni and I have been married 12 years now, strewth where has that time gone? anyway I tried to get some flowers but couldn't all flowers have been earmarked for Easter hmm..!! no cards either in this Country so we went for a little drinkie at a local watering hole and had a few bacardi and cokes, the measures have to be seen to be believed.
I have no idea how she has managed to put up with me for so long...love you to bits Lorni.. The following day was another trip tot he dentist for me, on a Saturday! this was another part of my treatment but I didn't expect what happened, I was sat in the chair had three injections to numb the area, the tooth had bee extracted a few weeks ago so the gum had healed up,so they cut it open cleaned out the cavity then drilled a hole, changed the bit size and went in again, three more times then hammered a bit of metal into my jaw then filled the remaining gap with a bone graft material and then stitched me up...didn't hurt much at the time but later on...ouch, the stitched come out on the 24th and at the same time they will do the other two implants. really looking forward to that. Five months later they can actually fit the teeth in. oh to be able to eat steak again!
As I said the weather after the rain storms has improved greatly so much so that today it hit over 30 degrees and boy it was hot, time for shorts again, even Harry didn't want to go ut for a walk bless him.
Amazing what you find in this village.
Today is Palm Sunday which is a big thing here in Spain being a Catholic Country so around 11 this morning Lorni went out armed with my Go-Pro as I had to stay in because of my dental surgery and she shot tons of footage I have mashed it down to this, a bit shaky but not bad for a first attempt.
My birthday tomorrow and that's another week gone by or year in my case on Tuesday I'm off to Benidorm to catch up with an old friend of mine from many years ago should be fun.
