“roro” is my new dominican word! It means fuss, drama, argument, and all words in that family!

Right now the drama is a drip. A small little drip that has been soaking into the foundations of my house for goodness knows how long but definitely YEARS!

This one little drip so far has been completely undetectable to everyone who has come round to look. We can hear it but just not find it.

First the flooring in my downstairs W.C. had to come up

Then part of the wall had to be taken out

Then I was told a few stairs will need to be removed

Now it seems the skirting board attached to the wall is also attached to the stairs so that means that needs to come up and that will damage the wall.

Now we are looking at six stairs

And all the time the insurance company are refusing to get involved. They will fix the DAMAGE but they will NOT fix anything done to find the source of the damage….. great…. that’s what I pay my high premium for… so that when I need it they can get out of it.

My final call to the insurance company was a demand that they come round and see this because every where downstairs is completely soaked and will need to be replaced.

So I wait for someone to call. 48 hours so far….! Looks like another call is needed.

I got chatted up today this one of many times this week – both Diane and I are in disbelief – usually I am left sittin’ on the dock of the bay – whistling.  A man came to do some work we spoke and discovered we are both from the same country I lent him my keys and everything is now sorted he done good.  I rang him wanting my keys returned.  No don’t get me wrong the brother is fine looking nice personality with brains but he is married.  I don’t know if he was coming with the ‘my wife does not understand me’ vibe.  In fact I think not – I just don’t get it – why do men do SOME men do this?  Hopefully someone will enlighten me.

Is it me or is Encona pepper not as hot as it used to be?  I mean I am throwing that baby on like ketchup at the moment.  Don’t get me wrong it is still good.  Only when I was younger up the very same pepper – just a splash used to have me and my sister and brothers in tears. I don’t know please let me know what you think I mean IS IT ME ? ?
