Yup, our house just gave up the ghost. Well, our bathroom did anyway.
Just over a week ago, our shower broke. There had been a small leak in the hose that suddenly got very big and started spraying water all over the place. We explained the problem to Cecilia and by the end of the day Tio had come over with a replacement hose and all was well again. But then a few days later, the shower head snapped off. We think this was probably an unwanted side effect of the previous repair. So our shower was just a hose, but that was still better than before. Then, the handle on the toilet snapped off too. I don't even know how that can happen, but it just came off in Anna's hand. So at this point, we were having hose-downs and having to lift the top off the cistern to flush the toilet. Then, I went to get some loo roll and the flaming loo roll holder fell off the wall.
So our bathroom was a disaster, but we had to wait until the weekend was over to get help. And yesterday, when we'd just told Tio about all our new bathroom problems, the washer on the hot water tap in our kitchen broke, so we couldn't turn it off.
It was night time, so we got the guard at the school to come and turn the hot water off outside for us, just to stem the flow!
Thankfully, both Tios came over today, surveyed the damage, went and bought replacement parts and fitted them. Thank goodness for Tios!
Unfortunately, the phone line at the home is now broken, so we can't use the internet and phone. So hopefully, when you read this, ALL the problems will be fixed!
Apart from that, all is well in la casa amarilla!
