Living with the Presidente.

GUESS WHAT??????????????????????

The town hall have started digging up the road outside the apartments to put in DRAINS for the rainwater !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( for those of you that don't know, El Presidente has had an on going struggle with the rain water flooding our garages )

They did say nearly two years ago that they would do this so El Presidente is overjoyed.............a true case of manana tho..........just a bit late!

El Presidente is just a bit puzzled as to how the rain water is going to get into those little pipes that have been buried about four feet underground? He thinks what will happen is that ever so often there will be a grid in the road and the rainwater will fall down there and into the pipes and go ...............................where??.................. Don't know , but he is sure there is some BIG plan which we are not party to yet.

Now I know I am a mere woman and I know I am blonde BUT what I cannot see is how, as the rush of water ploughs down the road..................just how will it fall down the grids and into the pipes. You see, I'm just a bit worried that the force of the water will propell itself over the grid as apposed to into the grid. BUT what do I know ?...................at least El Presidente is pleased that the work has started so I won't mention my worries to him !!

BUT I will be awfully pleased when the dust stopes and when the ground beneath my feet stops vibrating.................it's really been a case of  'does the earth move for you' recently !!!!!
