Friday 11th October 2019 to Thursday 17th October 2019
a cloudy start to the week, a welcome break from the dizzying sun
We made the most of the cooler weather and had a trip to Salema
they have a lot of feral cats in Salema
and some dinosaur footprints
On Tuesday I had to take down and pack up the chateau so we could go and get the fridge sorted in Loulé. Lifting it all into the garage I did my back in, badly. I can’t walk more than half a dozen steps and I can’t sit or lie comfortably either. To make matters worse I discovered Julie had eaten the last kit-kat!
The fridge is a 3 way fridge; it’s not working on mains so it would eat our 18l gas bottle in about 4 weeks or so. To get at the gubbins you have to go in via the plastic vents. Typically the vent we needed to go in by had been sikaflexed in so it didn’t survive being removed. So not only did I have to pay for a new heater element I had to pay for a new hole to be cut and a new vent.
Surprisingly the job only cost £150.
My back is still bad, still can’t walk a dozen steps 🙁
