Some German Outfit 7 Celtic 1 YES ONE!!!!

Well I say Celtic lose spectacularly in Germany, and before the game all the Scottish experts were predicting at least a good show, from the Scottish champions. Only one spotted potential danger, he is the least favorite of mine, not even a Scot, that should give you a hint. 


Loosely quoting the individual concerned he said but Celtic will go to their domestic next encounter, win easily, and all will be right with the world. Some more cruel suggested The Dog and Duck Eleven versus the famous hoops.

As long as we win the league. And dont forget dear reader between Brendan Rodgers two stints at Celtic he guided Leicester City to, wait for it relegation!!!

Draw your own conclusions.

COVID19 and friends

Still alive despite the best efforts of COVID19 , where did it get that name? I was prepared to go to local football, camera et al but a wave of nausea swept over me as if warning or was it an instruction? So, car door closed back the my little office. For anyone interested, among the list of symptons are runny nose like a common cold and a terrible lack of energy .                                                   

                                               YUK.

                             Stay safe and COVID free


                                          Till next time

Por Fin

Well at least or at last I have something to recount.

A passing kiss from COVID which still lingers called for a visit to the local health centre, The village of Mazo was a ghost town  when the dreaded virus paid a visit., and you guessed correctly it was a holiday, the inhabitants celebrating one of the islands many saints, simply by staying invisible, out of sight. 

I know that events such as bycicle pruebas are usualy advertised much simply language  barrier, but the whole cultural way of living  that the foreigners like me need to learn and understand.  

But I was met with the usual response when I indicated that EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGLLLLLEEEESH was not my lengua materna.

You can guess the rest and. Im still breathing.

Talk soon.

Let The Wind Blow

Blowing a gale again today, a bit fed up with it. I think its huracane Elena or whats left of it.

But wait a moment, have I any right to complain about the weather, or anything for that matter? 

Consider if you will the state of the twirling globe which we call mother earth? The so called Holy Land, its inhabitants killing each other, if thats what  religion is, I want no part.

maybe or simply perhaps

maybe or simply perhaps, I am getting quite good at football pictures and anything else. I must admit that my desire to capture that image has been, well, not quite what it used to be but after Sunday when I was refused entry by the old dears in the ticket office, it was at the point of giving in and going elsewhere that the officialdom rescued me, brandishing temporada 24/25 passes. 

So all was well, and by manner of return, I produced some good images, and dare I say it , a couple of very good ones. ( really must try out my new printer) 

So that is my news dear readers, still a little dull I am aware but the only way is up, is it not?
