27 - 29 July 2017
Last week's purchasing turned into deliveries this week: first the electric bike kits, then our new water filter jugs, and on Friday, the suite of cordless garden tools, minus the hedgetrimmer which wasn't available, so we'll get it another time.
Dave threw himself into the exciting job of bike conversion, but after we'd both torn apart all possible storage locations in the house, shed, hut and trailer, he had to accept that we'd lost a vital sprocket-puller or some such tool, and the full conversion would have to wait. We tried the bike shop in Lefkas Town, but they only had one for the shop, and none for sale, so another delivery is pending.

Lots of boxes for the bike bits - our purchasing included a snazzy trailer for electro-bike shopping!
New water filter jugs (one for the boat) as our water has started tasting very chlorine-y since the council changed over the supply. Which is a tragedy, as we used to have lovely tasting water, but apparently the old supply needs too much maintenance and has had to be discontinued
Dave's bike half done: with new back wheel (containing the motor), slimline battery, brakes, throttle and control screen all fitted, but wires to be tidied and gear and pedal bits to be sorted out when the right tools are sourced. We decided to get the kits from Ciclotek, a Spanish company, on the basis of good reviews. We'll see how they do.
The new cordless electric strimmer and chainsaw. Dave was up early to try the strimmer and is very impressed. Rather more powerful than we'd expected. The same battery works both tools. The battery lasts longer than either Dave or I do, and recharges more quickly, so that's okay. It's the Husqvarna 36v set with fast charger for those who are interested.
