Up on the roof.

Monday evening, just as dark was setting in an hour earlier than it would have done last week, I found myself up on the roof of said house from the previous posting, even closer to Heaven, trying to set up the satellite dish to receive Sky. I can almost touch Astra 2B from here. The previous inhabitants being such nice people just turned off the pump for the pool which is now a very nice tint of green, and disconnected every wire around the house without any note as to what was what. Normally this would have been no problem but the roof of the house has as many dishes and aerials as Girona airport control tower and all of them doing their own impression of Father Christmas (coming down the chimney) with no hint whatsoever at the other end as to what went where. Hey I can see Sant Sebastian lighthouse from up here, and Palamos, Palafrugell and most of the Costa Brava, Jesus some people are so lucky. No he wasn’t there this time, I was swearing!! Anyway by now it was just too dark to twiddle with the dish so I threw a load of shock in the pool, switched it all back on to get the filter running, increased the timer to four hours a day instead of one to see how it goes and will be back there again Wednesday night to complete the two unfinished jobs.
