Family, Money and Other Things, ...

After the torrential rainfall, since 6:00 AM local time this morning, which then turned into a light summer rain around 10:00 AM, I naturally had to deal with water in Frankie again.It's just a small spot at the rear window and I was already able to identify the spot on the frame, at least on the inside. Since a "rainproof" tarp is stretched on the outside, it must be coming through the aluminum outer frame...and that will be the big construction site when I have enough money and a suitable place to renew everything and fit it with new outer rubber seals.The sun is of course back and beating down on the place here with what feels like double strength.The painting shy boy named Ljeschesar from the neighboring site and the Bulgarian "food entrepreneur" named Kalin (cool guy, pretty fine products), stood in front of me after the rain and were looking forward to a joint training session, which I then gave them. We had fun and worked up a proper sweat 😉I kept the swim afterward short, since I have quite a bit to do on the website. Unfortunately it didn't last long, as another "bug" appeared and I had to stop my efforts to assign the recorded messages to the places.So the repair of the front wheel is on the agenda, where I was able to identify 2 more holes. Slowly my patch kit is running low...LAUGH...so when I'm done with this text here, I'll check even more thoroughly this time whether I've really fixed all the holes in the tube now.If it worked, I'm off to the next village to buy some groceries, herbs, vegetables and fruit, since the supermarket (small mom-and-pop store that calls itself a "Supermarket") beats pharmacy prices...GRIN...charged me EUR 2.40 for a milk and EUR 3.40 for a small 150g cheese.What's dampening my mood a bit right now is how my "family" is handling the agreements about the apartment handover. Rent doesn't come on time, installments for the deposit don't come at all. And I still have to put up with being insulted...these are harsh experiences that I currently have to integrate into my life as well. Nevertheless, I'm happy about my EXISTENCE and also enjoy these challenges, because things always keep moving forward......so all of you have a wonderful day and peaceful, joyful moments, ME 🥰After the offer from the group "to check on things," here's my message on the matter, to also make clear how I deal with such things (broken agreements, disrespect, refusal to communicate and similar crap): "Ah Ole, old chap, many thanks for the offer! But since I don't feel like having 'wars' anymore, I'll write another brief summary of the agreements, pack that into an email and as a consequence, should there be neither a response nor a sensible suggestion for a resolution, simply cancel the apartment! It's a shame and yes, there were some people who certainly would not only have been grateful, but would also have implemented a stress-free process for me...'Would've, could've, should've...' LAUGH..."All of you have a peaceful day, create joyful moments for yourselves and I wish you one more SMILE 😊
