Greetings Friday team!

Our electrical appliances go bravely on, although I might be tempting fate by stating that. Our biggest issue is our electric water heater bursting. We have very high calcium levels and despite having a decalcifier on the water line, the internals slowly expand and then it bursts with no warning. We are now on boiler #3 in a 13-year old house. The last time was on a Christmas Eve as the family were arriving, thus needing my husband to rush to Malaga to get a new one, which we installed ourselves.

Next trip is for me to visit family and friends in Aberdeen pre-Christmas. Flying BA from Madrid as Ryanair from Malaga is off for the winter. Pretty good deal with flights and car booked as a package. Now I have to think about presents!

May your boiler never explode.
