The good old saying of it happens in 3's is too true in our household. Now that Gran and I are on the mend, the next set of hurdles (as my mom likes to call them) were placed before us.
Ingrid taught swimming on Saturday, but when she got into the pool, she nearly froze her ..... off, the water was soooooooo cold. It turns out the heat pump was on the blink and had obviously been like that since I last swam on Thursday. Of course being weekend, you can't get hold of anyone and Airquarius who do the servicing on the pump don't have an after hours telephone number - go figure! So this morning (Sunday) when I couldn't sleep for worrying about this, I got up surfed the net and came across a guy who used to work for them, but now has his own company - well its midday now and I am still waiting for him to come back to me.
Fortunately I decided to go outside and give it one more try (the last 5 had not worked) the pump had been off for more than 24hours now. so I switched it on and voila!! it works - now just got to go some more electricity [chomp chomp chomp goes the pump]

Last night Rob decided to go on patrol, but before he did that he had to pick up Chris from his girlfriend - all that was fine, until Chris got into the car and with the door still open, the gate began to close. Since Rob had parked quite close to the gate and doors are quite large, the gate caught the door and bent it backwards. So guess who is lucky one that now has to find a few hours in her day next week to take it to the panel beaters for a quote!!
And finally the tumble dryer has decided its time for summer! The power tripped and the only appliance running out of the norm was the tumble dryer, reset the plugs and it did it again. When we smelt the burning, we found the burnt out plug. So if you see us in dirty clothing you know its because the weather is still rainy and we haven't gotten anything dry on the lines.
