We´ve only been in “Phase 3” (eased restrictions) for 10 years 2weeks tops. But Spain “opened up” yesterday, so what happened to Phase 4? I mean we were supposed to get there first, perhaps it got deleted. No wait, it did.Us natives think it´s too soon, but to be fair the Spanish government have set…… Continue reading This is weird
A few months ago I wrote about us moving house, somewhere further inland. What you get for your money is astonishing. Just 180,000 euros for a big villa with swimming pool, situated at the foot of the mountains. Most of the ones we liked were in a place called Fortuna. So we went there and…… Continue reading A change of heart, mind and soul
Opticians are open now, so sometime last week I walked in with my dead pair of jigsaw glasses. Don´t ask me what day it was, or even which time zone we´re in.First of all, the place was devoid of humans except the little guy stood at the desk, he was pretending to do something important…… Continue reading Oh I see
Some of the things not happening here used to be legal necessities in the olden times, but life has changed. Spain loves it´s paperwork, believe me, you can´t go to the toilet for a poo without filling in a form of declaration.Moving on (excuse puny pun) to more important things, car tax has flown out…… Continue reading Illegal but legal

Oh, and while we´re on the subject, facemasks tend to work their way up my nose, even under my glasses and sit…… Continue reading Facemask vs designer glasses face off
Today was my first experience of cabin fever, this morning I had an argument with my laptop about what day it is. Then I had to say my name twice, as I do every day to remind myself who I am.My own version is all a bit vague, there´s no climbing walls involved so what…… Continue reading Cabin fever?
While wandering through the hallowed halls of my Google search history, trying and failing to find a link for three hours. I discovered that if you go back through the archives far enough, some forgotten search terms jump start memories. Like what you were doing at the time, and how helpful on a scale of…… Continue reading WWW. Search history in quarantine.com
Day 16 of quarantine, and going out shopping is now a cause for celebration. I´ve had 5 birthdays so far this month. It´s a what do I wear situation, my best dress or the second best? Hair up in knots or flowing in the breeze? Slap the make up on. Good to go.Meanwhile I´ve been…… Continue reading Corona Brainstorming
A sideways glance and there it was, a UFO hovering in the distance trying to find somewhere to land. At this point you may be tempted to ask if I´m crazy?
