Overdue Update
Work has slowed down, for two reasons, we have had more restrictions thrust upon us as a result of Covid 19, and the panic that our Health System wont be able to cope, and Jaime has been working elsewhere to boost his income, which I can understand, but it doesn\’t help us, we now justContinue reading “Overdue Update”
Relaxing Week!
It\’s been a more relaxing week, I haven\’t been able to do a lot, because I have been suffering with constant headaches, worse when I lie down, so in case I did more damage than was thought when I had my fall, I have agreed to go and see a Doctor again, my own DocContinue reading “Relaxing Week!”

It\’s been an eventful couple of days, with not a lot to show for it.

Oscar andContinue reading “Disappointing…”

Keeping busy!
Yesterday, I went to try and get my air conditioning working in the Montero, but although I found the workshop in Bello, it was obviously busy, and there was nowhere nearby to park, to make enquiries, so gave it up as a bad job, whilst doing so, I realised that the recently repaired broken tooth,Continue reading “Keeping busy!”
Photo Frame Production
Yesterday, I decided to finish the photo frames, that I have been meaning to make for months! I had them prepared from old reclaimed mahogany, the first time, I started on these, I tried to cut the rebate with my router, it was my fault, instead of taking numerous passes, I tried to do itContinue reading “Photo Frame Production”
Roll on Summer!
I know winter started late here, but I can\’t wait for it to end, so I can moan about the heat! Marcela tells me that it should change sometime before the end of this month, but as it started late, who knows. Yesterday, Marcela headed off for the day, she had a string of appointments,Continue reading “Roll on Summer!”
