It's RAINING AGAIN..........................................
El Presidente is down in the garage area with the 'pumping' men. There are 4 of them and one of him and they are squeegying the water from the far end of the garages 'cos the pumping lorry won't reach that far !!
They have this ginormous lorry and they've already had to empty it once and they are STILL at it. I told El Presidente that I would have helped BUT as he had not bought me the flowery wellies I wanted on our last trip to UK, I couldn't !!
I had an e mail from the Spanish Town Hall forum this afternoon asking me to contact the councillor who runs the site. I have, over a pariod of about 18 months, written about the flooding at La Mirada and he has contacted me before and said he would come and have a look but never has. Anyway, at the end of my tether ( and temper ) last Thursday, in the midst of the flood, I put another post on the site.............................and I must admit, it was a little strong. Anyway he asked me to ring him and I did. He told me that the town hall knew about the problem ( that's a first, 'cos every other time we have taken in a complaint they have said they knew nothing!! ) and were looking at thier budget.
I told them, looking at next years budget was NO GOOD and we had the water NOW and it needed addressing NOW. He asked me to e mail him the photos ( they already have these---but who am I to argue? ). So I did and I have to ring him again tomorrow.
It will all probably come to nothing but it's worth a try....................it will be interesting to see if the publication in the Round Town News brings any response....................I'm just a bit worried it might be negative tho'.
I want some wellies ! ! ! ( please )
( with flowers )
