Oh dear!

You can tell when the weather is bad because you get more to read! Come the summer - whenever that may be - you'll be lucky to get a couple of posts a month.

The JCB finally got the pista cleared Thursday lunchtime and so on Friday we did a big shop. Basically if it was heavy, bulky and/or long lasting, we bought it. Things like 2 sacks of dog food, big tins of tuna and mackerel fillets, litres and litres of milk, bags of dried beans and pasta etc. Actually, J went armed with a list while I took advantage of the nice dry day to catch up with the washing, put the rugs out on the balcony for a good shake while I washed the floors and started planting some seeds - brussels, coriander, cucumber and courgettes so far.

Saturdays forecast was rain yet again, so we did an early trip all around the top road and down to Cadiar to change the gas bottle and pick up bread flour, a sack of potatoes and some tile cement. And the pista, I hear you ask. Well, the mud has been shovelled away, likewise the rocks although there are some to drive round, and it's a bit narrow in places. The surface is either rough or squidgy but it's passable. The rain, more like steady drizzle, started at 5pm yesterday and hasn't stopped yet.


At 8am this morning Pip, Monty and I went off for a walk up through Montenegro to see the state of the newly cleared pista and found this. Oh dear! Is it parked or did it slip, I'm not sure. And how to get it out?
