6 days to go and the ceiling has decided to leak!
This is made more worrying as we have a prospective renter coming to view on Friday! With the best will in the world there's no way she won't spot this - have even considered making it into some type of water feature but think I'm on to a loser. Have suggested that Dave stands under the leak to stop the sound of splashing, but would have to hope she doesn't notice water running down his face, which is probably unlikely. I think we'll just have to fess up. Luckily we have great friends here and the work should be sorted out within the next few weeks - before she'd want to move in, but after we've left!
We've both been really touch by the kindness of friends here in Spain, with people looking after the house whilst we're away and organising meals to send us off. I'm really going to miss friends both here, in France and the UK - thank goodness for Mobiles, Skype and Facebook! It's really quite strange to think that not that many years ago worldwide communication was so much more difficult - now it's simply a case of having mobile or internet connection.
It's also interesting to note that 2nd/3rd world countries have more or less missed out mass landline comminucation and gone straight to mobile. When we were in Senegal (5 years ago) I remember thinking how much better the mobile connection was than in Cumbria (UK). Will wait to see how this compares to Costa Rica!
