Let's start with the good.
After the deluges of the last couple of days, it was with much delight that I saw on opening the front door this morning SNOW on top of the two high peaks opposite (Mulhacen & Veleta). Just to provide it...
The bad news regards my ongoing power problems. A very nice chap called Matthias (ex-journalist, ex-Berlin) arrived today as promised and after much wielding of his hydrometer declared that the batteries are, depsite the declaration of the previous owner, past their sell-by date and require a complete replacement (mucho €€€€s). Ho hum.
So he's now gone away to price me up their replacement and also look at getting a wind generator as extra backup. We actually spent more time talking about the organic co-operative that he's part of and managing land naturally! He will be a very useful contact going forward I'm sure.
I did commence the clean out the bodega this morning with much assistance from my neighbour Jose so preparations for the wine harvest are in full swing. Now off to make my generator sing more sweetly...
