The Big Clean

Not a lot to report today as we’ve began the cleaning in earnest, we leave here on Sunday so we must get on.

I awoke early to take the dogs out then had breakfast and drove down to the garage to hand in the car for the repair. I noticed the parts that Mazda supplied didn’t have any nuts, presumably you are expected to use the old ones but I cant see how, these will no doubt be damaged as well. Anyway, the mechanic said no probs he’d get them at the Ferriteria up the road, I had an image of him removing the old ones and not being able to get the new ones on. I said that before he removed the old ones I’d be happier getting the nuts. We drove up to town and found the ferriteria didn’t have them and he said we’d need to go to Ronda.

We drove back to tell the mechanic, on the way we passed the other garage in town, Susan said that we should try and see if he had them in stock so we went in. He found this huge bucket of old nuts and bolts and tipped it out on the floor. The 3 of us scrambled around on the floor looking for 4 nuts that fitted, success we found them. He wouldn’t take any money from us.

We drove back and left the car then walked home.

We spent the afternoon cleaning and making beds, I also worked on uploading the photographs from the weekend then we had dinner. After that we went to Fuente for a drink,
