Wed.4th.Jan.
Bad news last night after posting blog. Seriously heavy rain exposed leak which resulted in water dripping off light fitting behind drivers seat, obviously didn't repair the right area. Rain stopped, mopped up water and had late night, most of which was spent worrying. This morning stripped out old mastic around joins above off side roof and replaced. Covered whole area just before rain started again. No time to add tape. Fingers crossed. This afternoon had a pleasant surprise as Maria and Geert turned up for a visit and coffee. They brought dulce which is good and bad as we are trying to steer clear of fattening substances and can't resist them!! (Dulce are small sweets which are a cross between biscuits and cakes, often flavoured with almonds. Delicious.) The other problem with the rain is that we are finding it very difficult to dry the washing, of which there is an awful lot. Still we're in Sicily, how long can the rain go on?? Tonight we went out for dinner, didn't manage it Christmas day or New Years Eve and thought we deserved it. (Especially after the bloody day we've had.) Enjoyed it thoroughly, couple of drinks then dinner, Jan had pasta then chicken in Marsala sauce and I had fish. Lovely evening. Came home, watched TV and finished last bottle of Valpolicella. Got onto Motor Home Fun website today looking for advice on how to deal with water ingress problem. General concensus was to patch up and wait until back in England to fix roof. Much as we thought. Worrying though, it's pouring at the moment, so far so good!! May need Scotch tomorrow.
