Roberto Matta.
Last night
we got a bit carried away enjoying talking and laughing together that we lost
track of time and went to bed far too late, in the early hours.
Sheer
madness, but we were quite elated after Richie found two usable small wardrobes
which had been left out for the rubbish collectors.
They will
look very good once they've been cleaned, painted and are full of clothes as
well as sheets and towels.
Because we
did not go to sleep until 03.00 but had to be up for the installation of the
air conditioning at 08.00 this morning.
It was
quite a shock to have to be awake and ready at such an early hour, after only
such a short nights sleep.
The
drilling was just as noisy as we thought it would be, however they have done to
all now so tomorrow they will be working on the electrics.
Another
early start in the morning for us, which I'm sure we will manage just as we did
today, the only difference, will be that we will go to sleep much earlier
tonight.
It has been
an incredibly tiring day, but the payoff is that the air conditioning
installation is half done, tomorrow it will be completed.
Shame that
the Amsterdam Council prevaricated for so long after I won my appeal against
them for refusing me air conditioning on the 15th of May.
they are
always more concerned with refusing applications in order I think to save money
and end up spending much more than it would have cost.
Right now I
don't care; all that matters is that the air conditioning unit will be
installed by tomorrow afternoon.
The next
time the weather gets hot I will no longer have to suffer instead I will be
able to keep cool, I'm looking forward to using it next summer.
Tonight I'm
going to celebrate getting air conditioning despite Amsterdam Council doing
everything to prevent me from getting this vital equipment.
A tiny nip
of Trinidad VAT 19 rum will be what I shall be toasting my victory which
overruled Amsterdam Council’s arbitrary refusals.
Together
with the rum I will be savouring the fact that I won the case, I am hoping that
many more disabled people will be able to benefit from this.

Well, finally. Now you're ready for next year. Let's hope for an early Spring and Summer.
Cheers to you and the new air conditioning!
