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
During the past however many months of quarantine we´re at, farts have become a major source of humour within this household. We´ve even got a competition going on, including names for each variety. From 10 up to 1 ? Here´s what we´ve shared and learned:Pip farts are fairly quiet and last for about a second,…… Continue reading About Farts
No not that kind of naughty thing, I can see where your mind´s going here, but there´s no wardrobes involved so stop right there.The naughty thing:Remember what I´ve said about flouted lockdown rules in bars, and how we wouldn´t go in one for that reason?Yesterday we went shopping and noticed our friends were sat outside…… Continue reading We did a naughty thing
Well I blame having to wear a facemask everywhere you go, factor in a pair of glasses and it creates a traumatic tangle and tease situation behind the ears that drives me nuts. 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
A few days ago I the listed the restrictions of Phase 1, as opposed to 88 weeks of Phase Zero. Can´t be assed finding exactly when I wrote that, so it´s up to you to sift through recent posts. Call it a virtual game of hide and seek. How exciting.Let me just say there isn´t…… Continue reading Week ninety nine Phase 1 lockdown
Before setting off on our planned adventure to the Med just 3 kilometres away, we already knew two humans from the same house can now go out together for a walk instead of only one, in solitary confinement. Awesome.I was so excited last night I couldn´t sleep, sounds a bit weird when the Med is…… Continue reading Forget that walk by the Med
Despite yesterdays rant about people flaunting restrictions in bars, they still have to close early. So maybe the flock settles in around 10am? “Hurry up or we won´t get a seat.” Unfortunately bar owners aren´t going to turn half their customers away. Set that aside and the general outlook in phase one is positive. The…… Continue reading Easing of restrictions, phase one, an assessment
RANT MODE: Why did the government decide to re-open some bars??? EVERYWHERE ELSE people adhere to the rules of social distancing, oh but wait, bars appear to be exempt even though strict rules apply. Main one being only bars with terraces can open, (it´s Spain, they´ve all got terraces). So there´s:No going inside except to…… Continue reading So much for social distancing
I saw Americans flocking to buy flowers for Mother´s Day on the news, many not wearing masks and jostling for who´s next in line at a local florists. Stupid. As a mum I´d rather have no flowers as opposed to family members risking their lives for a bunch of roses. Why didn´t they think in…… Continue reading Mother´s Day in quarantine lockdown
As predicted, the Spanish parliament declared yesterday this national emergency lockdown will continue another two weeks. For safety´s sake we think it´s for the best, and proves that those in power consider people´s lives are more important than the economy. However, I´ve noticed staying sane is a whole other thing. I wrote somewhere about how…… Continue reading Eight weeks and still counting
