A mamey is sort of a cross between between a papaya and a yam. Sweet and potatoey. Not to be confused with mangos. Here’s Dr. Ana with her mamey:
So we’ve had the plumbers/gasfitters round today (and yesterday) which led to some new vocabulary for bits of pipes, tools and suchlike. Basically the gas tank on the roof’s been smelling of gas occasionally and the water went out for longer than usual so we called in the experts. After daubing soapy water on the gas tank there was blatantly a leak, “ah, licenciado, el regulador está madreado” they explained. Madreado being a Mexican scientific term for “buggered” so they swapped it for a new non-leaky one. The water took longer to fix, getting the pump going, cleaning the well that I was previously unaware of and other stuff… But anyway, as of today our little house is less likely to explode or suffer drought and that has to be a good thing.
Hello, psychic Gwyn.
Just wanted to say that (/me waves fingers spookily, woooOOooOOOooo)
But now that I’m here, I might as well add that I bursted out laughing when I read the expert explanation 🙂
I am still laughing because the title and mango’s confusion with mamey fruit.
Hey! Gracias por tu recomendacion en mi blog. No conozco ese lugar pero ya lo apunte en mi lista de “to do’s !”
Thanks 😀
Hi Cesar, happy to entertain. Thanks for the competition and for folks who don't quite get the WooOOOoooOO bit, have a look at Cesar's remote viewing competition and the “quasi” results.
Ana, glad you liked the Mango song. Any new clues in the mamey decomposition mystery?
And Roky, al contrario, gracias a tí por tu lista muy buena. Había varios lugares que no conocía y me va a ayudar mucho en encontrar nuevos lugares. La dirección de El Sacromonte es Pedro Moreno 1398 pa'que sepas 😀
