We celebrate Ian’s birthday by scrumping figs. I guess we could say we foraged for them, except for the fact we are in someone’s olive grove. BUT we do know that they don’t pick the figs so we don’t feel…

Well, the bit arrived for the car, the nice people at the garage fixed it and we went to the MOT centre yesterday to be retested – and the car passed for another year. Hooray! The process was quite painless.…

So we still have no car! It’s been four weeks. Ian could have bought the bits from the UK, but it would have been more expensive – and we still wouldn’t have had the right tool to fit it. So…
