Lest I forget


Since Ken has been in the UK I seem to have had one disaster after another. It all started before he went when our solar heating tank developed a leak. The repair man arrived as Ken was leaving for the airport and pronounced the tank beyond repair. I then had to decide which company to employ to replace it, which knowing nothing about solar heating systems and being in Spain was not straightforward.
A couple of days later trying to grab hold of the dog I tripped over the cat, fell and damaged my shoulder. I was in a lot of pain for a week before I gave in and called the doctor. After several weeks, lots of tablets, it seems to be on the mend, still aching a bit but nothing like it was.
Next, one of my freezers packed up. I had to unload both freezers, decide what to keep and then pack the remaining freezer. My shoulder did not like that at all.
Two days later my oven broke, nothing in it is working.
My desktop computer went on the blink so I turned it off and used my laptop. That did not last long as after downloading an update the laptop wouldn't connect to the Internet, fortunately my desktop came back to life.
The guys came to fit the new tank. I think that went well, I haven’t been up on the roof to check it but it seems to be working okay. The big problem came when I came back after letting the men out only to find they had scratched the car, this must have happened when they were taking the old tank past it. The company have admitted liability but we are still in negotiation on how they will reimburse us, and how much.
Today my desktop computer froze, but fortunately when I turned it on, my laptop connected to the Internet. I will leave the desktop turned off for today and hopefully I will feel more like tackling it tomorrow.
When Ken gets back we will have to think about replacing the freezer. It maybe he can fix the oven, if not it will be a new one. We will also have to get the scratches on the car sorted out.
I am hoping nothing else goes wrong but I am not banking on it, and I am certainly not worrying about it.
