Would you believe it?

I called in tonight at about 5.30 pm local time and bought an internet connection thingy. We went and bought some bits and bobs and returned to the villa. I plugged it in and followed the instructions and what do you know. We are connected to the internet already. No encounters with a wee man and a brown envelope, no site surveys, no hassle, nowt. It just shows you that some things CAN happen quickly here. I hope to post some pics of the villa soon as I know you are dying to see it. remember it's not spectacular but it is cheap! well relatively speaking cheap. Housing is very expensive here compared to Scotland.

Sheila got more presents from postman pat here today. I think they just hand over one parcel a day to make sure they have something to hand over tomorrow. Thanks to Colin Judith and Valerie for the lovely surprise. Sheila is none the worse for her new status and at least she is not as old as Valerie. Happy birthday tomorrow.

Ok enough for now. I have to start my quest to get a TV package installed. let's hope it goes as smoothly as the internet one did.

Best wishes

  1. So glad all is going smoothly - so far... So glad too Sheila received her present from us today - sorry it was late Sheila (but I guess your getting used that over there by now). Enjoy your weekend in your new gaff. Speak soon.
