There is no doubt that washing is always a chore. However Spanish weather mixed with smart thinking makes life even easier than it already is.Note: This photo does not represent a months worth of clothing, there´s still two more wash loads to do. Not to worry, there´s madness in method, and it works.1) Going out…… Continue reading That Time Of The Month Again
Nothing ever worth it is easy, but there´s a right way and a wrong way with everything. The other night a mysterious couple came to sit with us, I mean we were out with friends and they´d been listening to our conversation, so it was a bit cheeky. Nevertheless we´re friendly people, so no big…… Continue reading Moving To Spain In The Wrong Direction
Warning, don´t read this. I´ve bumped into a fair few “Bucket Lists” online, but what tipped the balance for written word on here, is the spoken word. A few days ago I was ear-wigging overheard a “shared” conversation about two bucket lists. A couple of rather overweight girls were discussing and contradicting each other´s extremely…… Continue reading If Ownership Of A Bucket List Is Paramount To Life Itself
We were shuffling plants around the other day, some like hot sun,, some don´t. “The big warm up” as we call it began a while ago. It stuttered a couple of times in April, but now we´re definitely on the steep upward curve, it sets in fast right to the top. Meet Celia, silent but…… Continue reading Silent But Deadly
The Wonderer stands still and asks questions. The Wanderer moves on and has the answers. The traditional meaning of a wanderer is that of someone who, for whatever reason travels aimlessly.

After much none deliberation I’ve got another letter for you. Dear Reader, At some point during the past five days a seed was planted, it went ignored at first. With no regrets, my mind was elsewhere. I was done with blogging and the relief was HUGE. I´d got to the stage where I was blogging…… Continue reading The Long And Short Of It
I wrote this post last week, for some reason I held back on publishing it. But I´m going to anyway, both the original, and my decision since then. “Dear Faithful Reader, It´s been 10 years since I started blogging in a highly professional lowly amateur style. During the past few weeks, I´ve been wondering if…… Continue reading Bye Bye Blogging?
THE WORLD HAS CHANGED, THE CARNAGE AN EVIL “LONE WOLF” CAN CREATE IS NOW A CHALLENGE TO EVERY WESTERN COUNTRY. NOT A SINGLE MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS TODAY MENTIONED THE OBVIOUS FACT THAT EVERY POLICE OFFICER IN THE UK SHOULD BE ARMED WITH A GUN. IN THE REST OF EUROPE ALL…… Continue reading Something Gone Forgotten
In the late 1990´s the first “Weblogs” began to appear. Facebook and Twitter made their appearance much later, yet Blogging Boomed and continued to do so. Social media VS blogs are two different entity´s: Social media exists in the here and now, an instant update about sausage and mash for breakfast (with photo) and sharing…… Continue reading Has The Blogging Boom Gone Bust?
