So here´s the facts of a private sale.Be aware of how the system works, we did our homework.Use your solicitor for the whole process, we did.Also let your solicitor take care of change of ownership and informing the police.Stop your insurance and get a rebate. (Nice).The bill of sale in Spanish is called “Contrato De…… Continue reading Selling a privately owned car in Spain

Dangerous Balloons

November 2, 2020 heathersunflowerLeave a comment

What an obscure heading for a blog post.I learned today balloons have the luxury of free movement, but has anyone ever thought they could also be airborne super spreaders? Blow one up, set it free and watch it go POP in someone else´s garden, could be classed as a floating hand grenade.There was a birthday…… Continue reading Dangerous Balloons

Halloween 2020

November 1, 2020 heathersunflowerLeave a comment

As predicted, Covid Halloween 2020 was totally underwhelming, just another boring day is more appropriate.  Here on the Costas, Halloween has always been a real big deal, and the fun lasts ALL DAY, but alas those carefree times are gone. Lonely fireworks intermittently broke the sound of silence, turned out to be a shared spectacle…… Continue reading Halloween 2020

Taxis or Taxes

October 31, 2020October 31, 2020 heathersunflowerLeave a comment

Two different words that sound alike when spoken, but have different meanings to figure out. In this particular scenario it´s basically nothing or something. One of these words has disappeared from our totally screwed up reality, and the other still hangs around like a smelly cat waiting to pounce. Taxis don´t exist anymore.Taxes DO.Unfortunately the…… Continue reading Taxis or Taxes

Round two of curfew

October 26, 2020 heathersunflowerLeave a comment

After so long, the lack of total freedom we´re all experiencing is mind numbing. The enemy is invisible, deadly, and random as to where it sets up business, outside of big cities we already know of.On the 13th March a nationwide “state of emergency” was declared across the whole of Spain, it was the strictest…… Continue reading Round two of curfew

Freak Weather · Spain

Storm Gloria

October 23, 2020 heathersunflowerLeave a comment

Freak weather Storm Gloria moved in and caused chaos in some areas of Spain earlier this week, it sat here for a couple of days before rattling up through France on it´s way to the UK. The old saying “never the twain shall meet” applies between Spain and the Atlantic sea, so this exception to…… Continue reading Storm Gloria

A collective argument afternoon

October 21, 2020 heathersunflowerLeave a comment

As you know, everyone lives outside here, a mixture of laughter and fun in the sun, but it´s mostly Covid boredom now. Even so, three out of four ain´t bad. Our son downloaded the game app “Who wants to be a millionaire” a few days ago. Oh the sheer enjoyment we´ve had together, getting answers…… Continue reading A collective argument afternoon

Shattering the myth of Sleepy Spain

October 11, 2020 heathersunflowerLeave a comment

Even in the before times Sleepy Spain was never a correct description, the word “relaxed” was more precise. I mean it´s not like we´re all asleep on a permanent basis. For example yesterday I cleaned the driveway before going back to bed sitting in the sun drinking a glass of white wine, celebration of a…… Continue reading Shattering the myth of Sleepy Spain

Temporary blog disappearance syndrome

October 8, 2020 heathersunflowerLeave a comment

WHAT THE HECK?Long story short, this is a WordPress blog, but my “Domain Name” (URL) was with another company. No problem, but I wanted Two Brits in Spain registered with WordPress, everything together under the same roof as it were. Easy speak as opposed to mask speak: Do the crossover, wait a week while WordPress…… Continue reading Temporary blog disappearance syndrome

The global default word change

October 6, 2020 heathersunflowerLeave a comment

By default I´m an optimist, always have been, glass half full and all that. But it´s a bit sad when you feel like dressing up just to go to the chemist. Best summer dress, complete with colour co-ordinated flip flops and matching mask. Very sophisticated.The chemist is a stressful place for mask speak to be…… Continue reading The global default word change
