Clean bill of health
Phew. Vera has been given a clean bill of health after changing some bulbs and a fuse, and some welding along the sidepanels. The guy who did the welding also recommended a garage that specialises in car electrics. So I'll be off to them soon to get the leisure battery, cabling and lighting done (and maybe the eletrical hook up). After that I'll start the interior work - just waiting for some better (and milder) weather. First of all I'll sort the leaking roof fixings and then build an extension to the existing cupboard to house the gas bottle. Still need to purchase a fridge as well.
The Italian lessons B and I have taken up are going along nicely. Can't say that in Italian yet though. We've done our second week (2 x 1.5 hours a week), and finished our homework. Molto bene. Ma non parlo molto bene l'italiano.
