You are right. This year we are going into overdrive on making memories.
We have our affairs in order but there are one or two things we need to do.
Been a few developments. Our dog’s health deteriorated quite rapidly over the last weekend. So much for weeks or months. We decided during Sunday night that we needed to have him put down. He couldnt even walk to go and have a pee or lift his leg. Never seen that on a male dog. Monday morning rang the local vet- already out treating sheep. So lifted him in the car and off to local town . All three vets not working Monday morning…….. So rang our vet in Granada. Hour away for an appointment . Vet had difficulty finding a leg vein! But eventually he was gone. Totally horrible experience. For ten years he has been an integral part of our every day life - going everywhere with us..One plus is we now have a much bigger pool of rented accommodation available and places we can go to are much more. Anyway we are coming to terms with his demise.
The 82 year old expat in hospital is a a different bag. He is on daily dialisys to try and kick start his kidneys. Not eating but drinking copious alcohol each day has improved his look. However the hospital warn he is likely to get pneumonia.
We have been trying to get his deceased wifes will but it is like running through treacle Getting his is slightly more impossible. Half a dozen of us are having a conflab tomorrow to agree a way forward. Eg get a paid solicitor involved. He might solve the impasse by getting a notary to visit the hospital…… Wills, inheritence is slightly differen5 here. For example tax and dues are paid within six months and she died five weeks ago.
YZ250. What a truly horrible situation. My brothers youngest sons wife died at start of Covid from a treatable illness, leaving husband with two children. Sister in law has run herself into the ground trying to help ever since. .I sincerely hope life improves for you from now on.
This has all confirmed we need to put our house up for sale this Spring. Time for a new chapter and make loads more memories. Onwards and upwards.
