Now the sun is shining and it’s a glorious day. Temperatures are around 22 C and doors and windows are open. The blue sky and fluffy white clouds remind me of one of my reasons for loving Mallorca.
But I still have to learn patience!
Red tape, Christmas holidays and all that stuff mean that we can’t move on with our plans yet.
I want a place of my own. The money is sitting in our bank account from the sale of our house and I just want to get settled. But I cannot buy a house without my NIE, and I cannot get my NIE without some help. My Spanish (which I have been studying for years) does not leave me confident enough to tackle going to see government officials. Add to that the Christmas holidays and our friends returning to the main land to visit family then I am stuck in limbo.
Another of my concerns is how long will it actually take to complete a purchase? After all we only have a limited time that we can stay in this apartment so I need some idea of timescale.
As usual Mick worries about nothing and just shrugs and says everything will work out.
But that doesn’t help me – a person who needs to be in control and who is, sadly, unable to control this situation….
