Exploring Saturday

 Saturday has come and gone with it the Charity Shield.

Me? I explored a little more around Fuencaliente, a neighbouring town, a wee bit bigger than a village, and was rewarded with some pleasing architecture, murals and in general , tidy streets. An authentic Spain?

As is my want, in a shop peddaling local artesan products, I asked the two ladiy helpers, if they spoke English, as EVERYBODY SPEAKS ENGLISH. Their bemused expressions were quite enough response....but they thought I was ENGLISH!!! or German or someone from a far off distant land.

I really have intended for some time now to research the island off the beaten tourist track, it is rewarding, and the locals friendly.

So a couple of purchases later, supporting palmeras whom need it the most, we bid adieu to Fuencaliente.

For now.

Tooth ache Thursday

 Well here we go, groundhog day exists...around Christmas I think it was  when the dentist emptied my wallet, around the same time as I crunched the car...and although its months not exactly a day ...but spooky or not? 

I will be avoiding mr dentist for as long as possible, well I do not for one minute  suppose he will be interested in empty pockets... ..and the car is only wounded...

I first became suspicious when my friend here sold some land for a tidy sum, which would keep her solvent for the foreseeable future, but then as she climbed back into the undented car, and I quote Big shock!!! Guess what dear readers her bill from the tooth fairy came to exactly the same ammoiunt as recent money earned.

My suspicions were poo pood at the time, but what shall we call it, say, coincidence?

I dont think he reads my blog, does anyone? So I will avoid law suits for the time being.....

So until tomorrow---




Struggle? what struggle?

 Well dear readers, today was I must admit a bit of a pain in the proverbial. 


Managed to scrape the car against the wall of the drive while moving into a position nearer the bodega / store if you will. Bought a bottle of gas thus the nearer to the store carrying a dead weight the better, though not fo my hernia. Going to have a look at the damage in the morning, hoping I can just about fix it myself, but dont hold your breath.

Considering getting rid of the transport, but it would be a pain in the ,,,as I say proverbial, carting my foto gear onto the bus which only comes every two hours, and then in say Santa Cruz, walking up El Puente to the football ground home of Mensajero..not to mention virtually inaccesible without a car,,,the main supermarkets on our little rock..

Anyway, hope tomorrow will be better, vcant get much worse.

Eyes tired now,.

Goodnight, amigos and enemigos.

training with Club Deportivo Mensajero







 

Normally I write a draft but now....

Well now I have decided to write and publish, how can I put it, without a draft effort. Taking my blog and my writing a little more seriously, or maybe too seriously??

Trying to understand the internet better and waste less time.

Surfing has distractions, sound familiar? 

So first I am going to take advice, be a little more open to opinions, follow the experts, and see what happens, Hey presto!!! Or not as the case may be.

The blog was pretty much abandoned for a while as FACEBOOK took over, but I said this before ....oh my Facebook will remain open...but more BLOGGER

ok? 

Educational  of course.

Hope you will enjoy.

Dont really know what shape its going to take, so open to opinions,,,

Watching too much TV

 

BBC seem to prioritize the Olympic Games rather than the planets current problems.


I do find it strange that the games have gone ahead at all as Tokyo is presently in a State Of Alarm.

Olympics - Donald Trump - Afghan Conflict – where is COVID on the chart of importance? Or is our favoured news channel guilty of influencing?


Oh here it comes, the COVID report, and its back to China with the search for answers, the search for blame?


Time to stop watching too much TV.

Wednesday, July 7

 This was pure theatre, with a 60,000 crowd at Wembley adding colour to the fight to face either England or Denmark in Sunday's final, the stadium splashed with the red of Spain at one end and the victorious blue of Italy at the other as crowds flocked back in ever bigger numbers after pandemic restrictions were lifted.  PURE THEATRE? Next stop operating theatre as restrictions are lifted?????

Aqui estoy...

For those readers and followers whom thingk they have been abandoned can I just say sorry. Since November 23 a whole lot of problems have be...
