Living with the Presidente.

A tongue in cheek account of living with the Presidente, OR how to survive and extended 'family' of 183.

Lenght DOES matter......................

El Presidente is down in the garages with Pele and Cano who have come to pump out the lift shafts AGAIN. I think El Presidente lives in the garage.

The Town Hall said they were going to send a lorry to do this yesterday but it turned out the lorry only had a 20 foot hose and it would not reach the lift shaft.

Day before yesterday, the Town Hall ordered the builder opposite, who erected THE WALL which caused all the problemas, to remove it. When El Presidente asked when this was to be done, he was told tomorrow ( in English ) but that was yesterday!! Apparently they did not do it yesterday because they thought it might rain !!....................

Anyway, soon the lifts should be working again and Moi will not have to carry potatoes up two flights of stairs. My friend, who has an apartment on the top floor, has aching knees now!!

The one way traffic to our door has intensified since the debtor's letters were sent out ( the letter informs the owner of the debt and the fine they have incurred ). Suddenly...............no one seems to have knowledge of the inception of this fine although it has been in place( as voted for at AGM ) for several years. Moi's answer to this is to say...............if you had paid your fees on time you would not have this problem....................and you wouldn't be knocking on my door ( or sending me e-mails ) complaining !!!!.................That's why I am NOT El Presidente !!!

Anyway.........the sun is shining now and it makes the rain fiasco bearable....................just off to rescue El Presidente ( and his wellies ) for a spot of lunch on our SUNNY balcony before the Committee meeting this afternoon !!

20 Foot!
Longer would be better!
I know a man who...........oh that's another story..........
Yes, my knees, hips, legs and any other bits you can mention, are WELL conditioned now thank you Mr Town Hall!
I bought an excercise bike in the UK, don't "kneed" it here, I have excercise personified on "tap" excuse the pun.........!
My muscles are well 'ard!
I get to level 2 and think...........can I call at El Presidente's and ask to sleep the night?
I think not.............!
Let's hope we are pumped out 2morrow, else I will have to spend another day trapped, with only vino to drink and might have to sleep with El Presidente!
Shock, horror for my mate Karen, sorry!

Hi Karen.

Sounds like you guys have been having a rough time with the rain. Still Spring would appear to be here at last and the sun is shining today. I thought you and El Presedente might like to learn of the availability of a web based software application which helps urbanised communities communicate amongst one another regardless of where they are located or what language they speak. I have seen what enormous changes this has made to my community and its so cheap when you consider what it can do to keep committee members, owners and residents up to speed with whats happening. I do hope you find this as useful as we have.
