Tenisca 1 - 3 Las Palmas C

 

Just wondering what to do today,,,,the sun is shining (of course), the temperature is on the way up, and noon approaches, at speed.

Retirement can be a bit strange, just like a never ending holiday. I´ve been on holiday for almost fifteen years!

I have travelled quite extensively, not just tourism but educative, I like to think. 

Now, I look across the Atlantic to Argentina, and the project of recovering the railways after abandonment of some twenty years. An absorbing challenge, but I suspect my ageing frame will decline such an adventure.

So continue with my language struggle and, of course photography while fiddling with eloquence in my native English.

But I am so lucky, living in the mountains of  La Palma, barely touched by the dreadful COVID19 virus. 

So life trundles on,,,enjoying my luck, my retirement.

What to write...?

 Hot again today, a big forest fire on the west of this little island, burned for about 24 hours until the powers got it under control. So we are told.

Its suspected that someone threw a cigarette butt out of a car window, and with these high temps and a gusting wind...no need for Einstein to calculate what happened next.

Irresponsible. 

Will never catch the culprit. But he or she knows what has happened. 

 

Hot today....the day after...El Paso

 Hot today, well hot does not really do it justice. Even in the morning there is no respite, I have been grilled gently, baked, then ultimately barbecued., not sure if I have mis-spelled the last word.

Anyway back to football and catching the action, or attempting to do so. 

Just looking for credibility, which keeps knocking at the door. More pics later this week.

 

football pictures...its what I do

 

A Breakthrough!!

 As some of my readers may be aware, I (we ) have a number of cats. Some inherited, some adopted, some whom have adopted us. Potty training is all part of the responsibility, and was proving difficlt with Poppy. However after searching with Mr Google and studying info and advice, a new litter box was aquired, with the idea that we can transmit to the cat he must really use it or go out for his needs.

Hey presto, after a couple of false starts, we appear to have at least a modicum of success. Trying to keep the tray exclusively for his use as according to our local vet its all about smell...his own smell, or scent if you will.

Keep tuned to this channel for further developments.
