XTreme Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I'm scheduled to meet up with @Skippy tomorrow in Barranda and I'm going to show him round a few places on some of the more obscure routes in this region. Weather forecast looks to be OK here at the moment.... .....but that has a habit of changing completely! So it's review things tomorrow morning. What about you lot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I’m hoping lazing about and sipping gin but in reality aircon guys turning up today and got to message Juan to bring our stored stuff back. Unpack n set things back up. Which all sounds easy but my Spanish is worse than when I left, I start in Spanish then somewhere along the line it turns into French and back to English 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Nice weather though so a ride out to pick up supplies will be good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Had to borrow some boots as the sole fell off my road boots yesterday and I can’t get the enduro boots under the gear lever. Do you think @XTreme will be embarrassed to be seen with me? I do hope so. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I’ve been here he’s arranged a plumber to fix a leaky tap who turned up the next day and sorted it pronto (nice tap too ). Arranged the wifi installation on a day that suited us within just a few days and now the aircon fitters the day after we arrive who got the job done in about 2hrs. Apparently he works in television, specifically sports television and is flat out cos of some major sporting thing happening in Spain next year (maybe the World Cup?) and yet he still finds the time to write nice emails and sort everything thing out seamlessly. It makes it impossible to leave this well managed cocoon and go back to my own comparatively shambolic life in Blighty. It’s like having an unobtrusive babysitter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
