W-T-Hell

 We have collected more treasures!

These apparently are bed bases chucked out from one of the big hotels which had an upgrade over the winter.  What's he going to do with them?  He says they'll be turned into shelving?

What do you bet they're still there this time next year and are thrown away ?

And this horrid rusty old bbq?

Which he asked his friend to bring round?

Thank goodness it's gone now.

He cut off some, apparently valuable (to him), rusty part  and thankfully threw the rest in the rubbish

How about this odd shaped white 'thing' leaning up against the bougainvillia?

We have a reputation for collecting 'treasures' it seems.  This suddenly appeared out of nowhere one afternoon.

K asked around and found out one of our neighbours had this odd bathroom heater he didn't want (uses too much expensive electricity) and decided we would love it.  

No way!!  He was told so very clearly and was supposed to come and remove it.  He didn't, so I did.  It's out in the road, leaning up against a wall.  It's forecast to rain tomorrow.  I hope it does

Chapter 2

We've had a run of bad luck recently.  Give us a collective spit would you.  Someone has put the evil eye on us

They're coming to take me away, ha, ha

Our car started acting peculiarly. It started, went a few metres and wouldn't move.  So along came the tow truck, over on the car ferry, down our narrow lane with it's tight turn and carried it away to our local repair place.   Insurance even paid for  the car ferry . 

An hour later our friendly mechanic over on the mainland, who didn't charge us anything, phoned to say it was fixed.  Ehh?  So what was wrong with it?  

Greek ferrets, called kounavia, had bitten through a cable.  A great thick cable. He had a spare on hand and replaced it on the spot. A bit of good luck there.

Now we have bags of mothballs hanging all around the engine.

Damn ferrets

To conclude -

Chapter 2

- I smashed the glass of the oven door and we have to buy a new oven.

The hinges were wonky and I forgot and opened the door wide without holding it up.  The door smashed into the tiles below.  I suppose it's a blessing the tiles weren't smashed either.

   K is inspecting rubbish bins and recycling to see if he can replace the door without having to buy the whole oven.  

The ceramic rings on top work and we have another oven outside so I'm not too worried about that

- The dishwasher started flooding the kitchen.  K had recently repaired it so he decided there was a blocked outlet.  And he was right.  After a lot of swearing the pipes were unblocked and it's working like new.

- The outside sink was clogged and that's where he prepares the fish and meat he cooks.  The water wouldn't drain away.  So another few metres of wire were poked down the outlet pipe till that cleared too.

- Our brand new printer won't print.  It was working fine but is now crumpling the paper and of course won't print.  We've changed the type of paper and shone a torch down to see if something has fallen in.  Nothing.  There's got to be some simple reason but we haven't found it yet

Spit spit spit 

And turn ourselves around
