Living with the Presidente.

Presidente popped back to make tea for the workers.

Son and granddaughter arrived last night, visited the pool this am, gone for a walk now then off to beach about 4ish ( preferably with El Presidente )

So while I'm on my own ( again ) I thought I'd make the Spaghetti Bolognaise for tea.

Chopped onions and peppers and chucked ( technical cookery speak ) in hot oil to fry.

Phone rings......and like a fool, I took the pan off the hob and answered it.

'I don't like that fence'.
Why ?
' It's green and I don't like green'.
But it matches the pool fence and that's green.
'Colour needs changing, can't you ( moi ? )  paint it ?'

Quick...............the swear box !!

Put the pan back on the hob.............sizzle, sizzle...........add the mince...............doorbell rings.............

'Have you got a minute ? ( NO ).......rush to take pan OFF AGAIN..................

'It's about this fence',  ( what a surprise !! ) ' is it going to be all the way around and are you ( moi ? ) going to knock the wall down ?'
No, we are putting railings on the existing wall to match the ones on the balconies, you know, you voted for it at the AGM.
'Not me, I don't want it'. 
Tough......................thought, not said !!

Pan on, add tomatoes and seasoning..................doorbell again, pan off.................

'You're not putting gates on the end are you ?'
Yes.
'Why ?'
to make the Community as safe as we can.
'But will you be locking the gates ?'
Yes, but you will all have a key to the pedestrian gate.
' But what if I loose it ? '
Have you lost your main door key ?
'No'.
Well it will be the same key.
' Oh, that's ok then'.

Pan back on....................

Phone rings...........pan off............

'What's this about a fence, why wasn't I told ?'
Did you get the minutes of the last AGM ?
' Yes, but I'm not talking about them, why wasn't I told about the fence ?'
It was in the last AGM minutes and in the AGM minutes the year before that.
' But why didn't you write to inform me that the fence was being put up today ?'

There are two SMALL words which will necessitate the use of my swear box AGAIN.
