When you live in a houseboat and have water around you on all sides, it's easy to lose something in the lake. Sometimes a neighbour might send a message on Facebook like "We've lost a bike and have ordered divers. Anyone else want to pick up something else at the same time?" But no, it wasn't actually in the lake that I dropped my mobile phone ...

So HOW annoyed can you get when the Internet doesn't work? Today we spent more than four hours of effective time getting the internet and router working, including lots of time with phone support. This post will be filled with both praise and criticism ...

Today we braved the heat (36 degrees and scorching sun) and left the quiet holiday resort of Porto Pino in Sardinia for the more hectic city of Cagliari. Why? Well, we need cook things. We need to fix the motorhome (engine light and spanner icon on), we need to fix my computer (battery and charging problems) and we need to fix ourselves (knee pain and headache problems).

We were having a leisurely dinner on Friday, drinking a glass of wine, when suddenly we noticed a smell... very bad. That's when we realised that the sewage tank was not properly sealed, so to speak. It has to be emptied at regular intervals (by pulling a lever). We had never really thought about what could happen if it was overfilled, but we realised that.

Now it's time to fix the boiler room, also called "the old engine room" or our "crawl-in closet". It contains everything that controls electricity, heating and water in the houseboat. You can also use this room for storage. The "funny thing" is that every time someone has decided to install something new, they have left the old one in place. And this has been going on since the early 190s ...

It has been quite cold in the houseboat when we wake up in the mornings. A bit worrying as I have heard that there will be colder months after August ...
