The man was due to come and fix the mangled door closer yesterday, in fact, he should have been here last week, but must have been detained by freak rainstorms or strong winds. Anyway, he said he was coming yesterday. He phoned about 2ish and said he'd been unavoidably detained, but he would be there tomorrow ( today )
So El Presidente and myself went to the beach yesterday afternoon and it was lovely.
There was nothing on the doorstep when we got home, BUT pushed UNDER the door was a note.....................To the Presidente......the garage door does not work and I don't want to get out of my car to open and close it..( Durr !!)................... But we'd just come through it and it worked then.
So off went El Predidente ( no dishes in the sink this time ) to sort it out.
Apparently the electronic garage door opened but would not close..................then if you stood on the inside the door would not open.
The other garage door has been out of use since the last heavy rainfall when the force of the water buckled the gate and broke the lock.
El Presidente phoned the builder this morning and yes, he will come and fix it. When?...................Mañana.
Meanwhile some LuLu has broken the already broken but closed ,lock on the other gate and it is swinging to and fro like a swingboat. ( WHY )
So El Presidente phoned the builder again and yes he will fix it. When?....................Mañana.
On a lighter note someone asked me if I thought a 'pool party' was a good idea this morning......................it was unfortunate that the person who asked me this was floating round the pool on an inflatable.....................so my answer was MOST un-Presidente's wife like....................more fish wife !!
AND still the man has not been to fix the mangled door closer !! Mañana ????
