This morning I was up even earlier than usual, Oscar had said he would be arriving early, so I did my usual morning activities, then went to have a closer look at the work, whilst I was alone, I was not happy, the floor is supposed to run from the house out to the fenceContinue reading “Now We Are Getting Somewhere…Slowly!”

A Serious Case of Man Flu!
The last twenty four hours haven\’t been that brilliant, yet another Colombian National Fiesta week-end, there are people at the Finca de Recreo nearest to us.

I had already been up for an hour, and taken Pépe for his walk. After Marcela left, I started work, theContinue reading “A bit of this and a bit of that…”
Progress?
Unfortunately Medellin only has two top Spine Specialists, and they are booked solid, so I have got to wait until June 17th for an appointment, but it\’s only six weeks away so not so long, and in the mean time, my back seems to be a bit easier, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.Continue reading “Progress?”
