We have arrived safely in JD and we are settling into our apartment. It is very comfortable, but will be even better in the spring because it is currently freezing. The homes are built for the long summer and not the cold months of January and February. The floors are tiled, there is no heating, apart from a gaz-bottle fire which is wheeled around, and just to add to the suffering we are north facing, great in the summer but no warmth from the sun in the winter - we go outside to warm up!
We have mains water for one day a week during which our storage tank refills, this is then our water for the rest of the week, the only problem is that there is no way to see how much water is left. We are getting tips on water conservation such as collecting the water from the shower before it warms up and using dish-washing water to flush the loo.
We are using a computer in the local library because we do not have an internet connection at home so communication will not be on a daily basis and definately not on Fridays and Saturdays when it is closed. But we do have a telephone in our apartment, if you would like the number please contact us, there is a company in the UK that connects you for 1p a minute. P

Oh dear - but all the thinking and brain power should generate some heat doesn't it? Love to have a phone number - even if only to use occasioanlly.
