Enjoy the day ? 👍

Agreed. Today we are in Cartagena. Lots of Roman stuff to look at. Another castle off the 20,000 to go at. Might have a boat trip around the harbour ( Spanish Med naval base)  Monkfish, prawns and clam “ stew”  later. Nice sunny warm day

Nice day to vapourise!

Defending the indefensible.

One mans personal totally unwarranted crusade is responsible for the direct deaths of a lot of people, untold misery and suffering in his motherland and that of Ukraine plus the impoverishment of millions of us in Europe oh and in Russia. That latter fact doesn’t  seem to be important and why would it in a state of mega rich Putin toe sucking oligarchs and the plebs. Spending something like 30% ofGDP on weaponry does not enhance Joseph Blogs situation one jot, just makes it worse.

Carlson was pathetic, that wasn’t journalism. Might as well have had Alexa doing the interview. It would have been cheaper too.

But you could argue the world was also much more stable pre Trump?

But what did Trump and Putin talk about and agree? I don’t recall the minutes being published.

My observations for what they are worth.

Living in Spain, our town has had an influx of Moroccans. Opening businesses and youngsters looking for work. At least the men. Women can get work in the shops.

So far so good. We have a load of young Moroccans in our Spanish lessons classes. Their views are quite horrific. Women are inferior and certainly not and never will be equal. When we walk on the street two Moroccans swagger along and own the pavement. They cannot go to discos - either sexes  so the young men just hang around looking good ( they are well dressed).

So my solution is anyone arriving looking for asylum, ship them off to a muslim state ( assuming they are muslims) . This drip drip or faster erosion of our society despite all the failings of Christianity needs addressing. The traditions here are very firmly routed but give it twenty years there will be woke complaints about Easter parades etc.

As it is an intermittent fault, I will have
Either a go at swapping it out for a S/h camera
Or get a new part off the net ..

General Car Chat / Price of parts

« on: 01 February 2024, 19:55:19 »

Just been to VW dealer. And looked at S/H cars outside. Saw a nice car for 25,000 euros.

Got quote for two parts. Not including fitting, they were about 1000 euros for the two. I reckon if you bought a car from parts it would be a million pounds. No wonder car insurance has gone up!

Suspected that might be the case. Good to know. Thanks.

I tried to use VW.com with VIN to see any recalls. That failed due to “ not a valid VIN” . Autodna disagree and confirm it is a Golf.

Lets see what tomorrow brings. 90 minute journey to dealer - no courtesy car available ( to rent) so  we have packed an overnight bag………

Car is booked into stealer tomorrow.

Question. Do north European market ( Germany) cars have a different air con configuration to Southern ( Spain). Eg different thermostat but obviously not that!

Just wondering as the car was from Germany and the air con might be having to work harder here in the desert.

General Car Chat / Air con gone faulty VW

Only 24C here today! So car has chosen best time of year to go faulty. It looks like electrical wierdness no doubt helped by potholes and the endLess sleeping policemen. It might be something mechanical as it was noisy too. Decided to switch it off and use good old fashioned open windows.
I can report that doesnt work at all well at speed.

Anyway it is either stealer or an air con specialist. Both in same town an hour away.

One think is for certain, it will have to be fixed. To filter the dreaded olive pollen and to cope with the ever increasing heat. We seem to be getting more heat coming from North Africa than ever before. Last year it was 38 on the 28th April.

Do you a swap some heat for some of your water ( this is third year of drought)!
