The view from the back

The guy Who invented the Internet was a real smart guy , the guy who came up with unlimited access brought it to life . I've had my money's worth over the last few days , searching , downloading ,e mailing , calls via VoIP I've gin it a caning, the lovely wife is sick to her back teeth of the chime of yet another incoming e mail, this afternoons e mail should have arrived with a full fanfare of the home guard. You've guessed it after shed  loads of data we have our cover . 
It might have all seemed a bit melodramatic my last post but when you have burnt as many bridges as we have to get here and you start running the numbers should you have to about turn its easy to lose the plot . 
Our stay so far to be honest has been very bitter sweet we have had numerous problems with the rental and the agent who has so far corrected them as they occur always be littles the issue in an very annoying way. We've had a cooker hood with no power fitted, faulty washing machine, 2 toilets that won't flush , pool filter with hardly any sand in it so the pool goes green easy and last night the bedroom air con went bang and tripped all the power off not bad in 2 weeks 6 days , oh don't forget the wasps in the meter box that have a love of chlorine , its surprising  the rate at witch they can breed based on the number we net off the pool each day. Out of our grand total of 20 days in Spain we've had six waiting around for tradesmen with more to come , the rest has been spent setting up our new life , getting a mobile , po box , Internet, bank accounts . The Skype calls from friends and family are a real joy and a source of amusement as they ask been on the beach ? Been out for a meal ? How far's the bar ? When you ask them the same questions you get the same answer back " not this week " " but your in Spain " and that's the point if your thinking of following us its no holiday it's daily life in beautiful surroundings with lots of quirky ways of doing things . Around here is still quite traditional with all the stores closing at 2 pm so no time for lying in if you need to shop. Most reopen later but to be fair but when it gets to 5 pm we don't feel like going out again , argh manaña .
