As previously stated yesterday, this house is now a disaster zone, an emergency situation, the very place you´re supposed to remain cooped up during a pandemic and feel safe. It borders on irony in our place..And it could only happen to us.We “thought” between us every problem had been discovered and reluctantly assessed. But today, … Continue reading It just gets worse
Worst Valentines day EVER
Is it not enough that the closest thing we can have to a romantic meal out means rearranging a garden table and chairs in the garage or shed? Oh my goodness what fun we could have had sat amidst power tools, step ladders, and garden compost. But OUR big night out had to be cancelled … Continue reading Worst Valentines day EVER
Sahara sandstorm
Thanks Africa, no wind, no rain, just a mysterious unwelcome layer of sand has settled itself over the Costa Blanca, and will continue to do so through tomorrow and maybe the day after. Aemet even issued a weather warning and to stay inside, wait what? We all live outside, (only within the confines of our … Continue reading Sahara sandstorm
A trip down memory lane
Well I’ve come up with a better idea than yesterday´s “Nothing” post about lack of inspiration while under house arrest. What is there to write about that contributes to a lifestyle blog? In the crappy now times, all the crappy content I have to offer is the likes of cleaning tiles, putting clothes in the … Continue reading A trip down memory lane
Nothing
Can I write a blogpost out of nothing? Has any service provider thought about us lifestyle bloggers running out of content due to no lifestyle anymore? Bet not. For goodness sake, I´ve even resorted to posting commentary and photos of empty shelves inside a Brit supermarket here, while comparing the situation to full shelves at … Continue reading Nothing
All dressed up for an exciting day out
Yesterday, in anticipation of today´s exciting day out I had a shower, put some nail varnish on, and even sorted out my rats nest of waist length hair which took half an hour getting knots out. Painful, but “you´re worth it.” So this exciting day out consisted of THREE different events! I could hardly contain … Continue reading All dressed up for an exciting day out
Food shortages in Europe
After noticing an absence of staple foods last week, I wrote about our own experience of seeing empty “sections” of shelves in supermarkets here, and was curious to find out more. So I widened the scope and did a bit of research on food shortages in Europe. End conclusion being very worrying. Netherlands: Only 50% … Continue reading Food shortages in Europe
Coca Cola sends a meaningful message
UNITY, HOPE, AND INNER PEACE.Remember the old Coca Cola advert “I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony?” What great sentiment that was, a positive global message to us all, hidden behind a rational curtain of doubt. In hindsight we had our freedom, no limits, and took it all for granted. So … Continue reading Coca Cola sends a meaningful message
The missing potato problem
At the local supermarket yesterday there were empty shelves where potatoes should be, nada, none, nothing. A sign close by told us:“Sorry for any inconvenience, we are experiencing a temporary lack of certain food items.” Oh dear, haven´t seen anything like this since March 2020, when everyone was panic buying before lockdown. I took photos … Continue reading The missing potato problem
Happy New Year sounds ridiculous now
In the last moments of 2020, we all said “Happy New year” to each other, both within the household and virtually to others. The only reason why we mumbled it at all? Because it’s traditional, but lets get real, it sounds ridiculous now. The big hugs were nice, we sort of hung onto each other … Continue reading Happy New Year sounds ridiculous now
