Final Jobs by R & T

Monday 26^th March

First day of rain for a month……since L was here. J painted all day….shutters in front bedroom and inside door (sort of streaked, stone washed sky blue), both bedroom doors Amarillo (yellow), and porch chairs (blue). I started the kitchen sink drainage system, contemplating the options, and fitting the pipes loosely without tightening any joints or glueing any joints, hoping that Ricardo would fit it !! …..then started painting the water tank base, but it started raining and dissolving the paint.

Ricardo and Tommy arrived about 3 pm …..R fitted the kitchen tap and T re-fitting the porch lantern……much swearing in German and T in a surly mood. Ricardo did not bother with the waste pipes, but lent me his glue can for me to fit . Tommy was off by 4 pm and Ricardo by 4.30 pm after getting his money….1,200 € as full and final payment …..!!

Popped down to Miramor and AKI in Fuengirola to buy PC desk and other bits and bobs. J wanted to go into the shoe shop there for J to look for wedding shoes….some lovely green sandals but not in beige….I bought 2 pairs of shoes….a nice pair of black shoes with silver studs @ 72% discount and a gold pair….yes GOLD @ 52% discount…….31 € for 2 pairs of pointy shoes ….J hates them !! (J says …”One thinks one may look a bit silly wearing them when back in Ingletera as methinks pointy shoes well out of fashion!!!”). Dined at the Garage.
