Daily routines took over with a vengeance! As we have no hot water in the taps all the washing up and cleaning (and there was quite a bit of that with 200 years of dust!) was done by boiling a kettle. Any water that we drink needs to be boiled for at least 5 minutes. Any raw fruit or vegetable we eat needs to be soaked in iodine for 10 minutes. Paying a bill cannot be done by direct debit but involves queueing for an hour. Having the rubbish collected means listening out for the rubbish collector and his little cart to come around. The house has no gas connection and we bought a cooker with a gas tank. It was clear that if we were going to do any work we needed help and we found Dona Martha. (We tried taking a nice picture of the whole household, but Laurence did not think this was such a good idea)
