Work on the staircase is progressing slowly, I now have all the parts cut, routed and sanded I had bought the stain, and the imunizante to protect the wood from insects. I bought Nogal, which is walnut, and supposed to be dark, unfortunately I mixed the two, before trying it, and it’s orange, much theContinue reading “Another Week Bites the Dust!”

Try Again!
We received another call from the Solar Engineer, saying that he wanted to come on Friday (yesterday), and would be here between 6 -7am as he would be travelling up from Cudinamarca overnight, so we re-arranged our plans, and called our Electrician, who agreed to come, as he wanted to at least oversee the work,Continue reading “Try Again!”
Time Flies!
Blimey, I didn’t realise I had been neglecting my updates, two weeks have flown by, and to be honest, I haven’t got a lot to show for it. There have been no further updates on my Passport, so true to form, Government Departments working at a snail’s pace, thank goodness I don’t need the passportContinue reading “Time Flies!”
Back to Work
Yesterday, morning I received an email confirming that my supporting documents for my new passport, had arrived at the Centre in the UK, which was a relief, I now wait to see how they intend to send it back! I then had an appointment with the pain Specialist, regarding my knees, she is happy thatContinue reading “Back to Work”

History Repeating Itself?
July 20th was Colombian Independence Day, yet another Public Holiday in the Colombian Calendar. Our contribution, did not go unnoticed! Albeit I am having to source a smaller England Flag, to match the Colombian one, it didn’t matter at our last house, but here the wind took the flag up onto the razor wire, andContinue reading “History Repeating Itself?”
No Peace for the Wicked
This exercise lark is no laughing matter, it was never one of my favourite pass-times, even less so now, but I have started doing my daily exercises on the static bicycle, I am only doing ten minutes a day, eventually I will extend that… a little! I went back again for my Vertigo therapy onContinue reading “No Peace for the Wicked”
Surprises!
On Tuesday, we started by going for my weekly Vertigo therapy, and as I haven’t had an episode since my previous appointment two weeks before, it appears to be working, I was hoping she might cut me loose, but not a bit of it, she has given me more exercises, which are even harder toContinue reading “Surprises!”
Disappointed!
I had my appointment with the Orthopaedic Surgeon on July 1st, in the hope he would be able to sort out my knees, but unfortunately that isn’t going to happen, the problem isn’t the bones, apparently I have advanced Artrosis, which is irreversible, and therefore they can only help by Pain Management, which I amContinue reading “Disappointed!”
