Mon. 30th. Jan.
What a day!! It has not stopped raining from dawn to now, 10.15pm. Our host, the owner of the site, Sylvino, took me in his car, first to the Fiat agent in GN, who couldn't help, and then to the Peugeot agent just outside Catania who ordered a pipe from Milan. It will not arrive before Thursday and an appointment has been made to fit it on Friday, fingers crossed. We will be kicking our heels here until then. The weather is appalling, heavy rain and high winds, with more of the same forecast for tomorrow. If it improves we plan to rent a car, see the sites we've planned before Friday by car and get back to the mainland at the weekend. Our love affair with Sicily is at an end. We should be grateful though that the repair to the roof which Ernie, our Austrian friend undertook has held well and for that we owe him big time. We have spent the day in the van and read loads, thank you Kindle. Time for another whisky before bedtime. Getting stir crazy!!
