The Travels & Adventures of Flog-It Removals.

Well it's been a while since my last ramble and a lot has happened. The trouble is we have all been knocked out by a dose of flu and whilst still having to do work through it, sitting here writing about it has just not been top of my list of things to do. So I will probably do a few short posts to catch up starting with this one, and on the weekend of 29th & 30th November we drove down to Ondara to buy a little Renault Express which will be perfect for the gardening work round here. We had an overnight stay in the Hotel Port Denia which was brilliant, great value and fantastic food and entertainment. In fact I am trying to create an excuse to go back again. The following morning we collected the car and drove it the 600km home without too much in the way of trouble, plenty of room in the back to throw the wet snot-rags. To be honest it's a bag of nails, but it'll do perfectly for what I need here and for some reason it has already become known as the "ice cream van" but I have no idea why. It was a real pain to start in the mornings so out came the old torch battery that was powering it and in went a much better spare I had here and now it starts on the button every time. It goes like stink up the hills here and down the dirt tracks through the forest with no problem at all and it even has a "Knight Rider" style Turbo Boost - More commonly known as a manual choke!! I can't remember the last time I used one of those. It needs more work though, yes it goes - but it doesn't stop, and I am pretty sure a wheel bearing is about to explode, but what the hell. It's FUN!!
