July 2023 in Valencia, Spain
I expect to be at the house from the very early hours of 9th July 2023 to late afternoon 12th July 2023. Hopefully it's still secure, I used a very heavy-duty Master chain on the front door. Hopefully everything will be okay.
I have 'pencilled in' May 2024 to be my last possible month in England. It looks as if I am eligible for the Non-Lucrative Visa. I am in the process of trying to set up a passive (or, semi-passive) income through three, possibly four, tenanted apartments in the north of England. Plus I have some savings.
SU16JUL23: I believe there were two attempts at getting to me whilst I was at the house in Spain, - many thanks for the attempts - but the idiots have hacked some electronics which I do understand and I believe they used direct threats via cellphone? A shame. I expect to be there again in mid September this year. What did I achieve this time? I completed the security camera installation (round of applause), did the second (and final) coat of varnish on some of the woodwork on the roof terrace and did some more in-depth assessing of the work required on the interior. Most of the work required on the interior is cosmetic but I am qualified to do this, it is basically a top to bottom redecoration (it's not in very desperate need) but a LOT of preparation is needed to undo the cosmetic issues throughout the house. The house is perfectly liveable, watertight etc. It just needs know-how and skills to bring up to a good to high standard.
SU10SEP23: I'm at the house again, until Wednesday evening. I've just been doing a few minor DIY bits. I hope to tackle some of the more serious issues tomorrow. I'll probably be going to IKEA in Valencia tomorrow to buy a few cheap items to make life easier here. I still haven't completed on the 3x units in Yorkshire in England but we're at the conveyancing stage so hopefully any week now. For those of you that don't know, Lester Gray will be jailed for life next month (October 2023), I suspect in France, and his father Richard Branson will serve a short term in prison next month, in Greece I believe. It's all go. Lol.
