Spanish morning

 

Fin del día

Bueno señores, aunque me gustaría dar las gracias a toda la gente que tarda un instante para felicitarme, el virus ha dejado su sello y no me permites hacerlo desde mi cuenta en Facebook. Entonces lo hago desde aquí.....feliz cumpleaños a mi...

Eso es español con errores ya sabes soy el escocés errante.  

happy birthday to me

Switching the font size to large brings its own messge, yes dear reader the years advance. 68 candles on my cake from today,

Never mind, I have made it this far, and best not to look around the corner, be careful what you or I, wish for.

The beginning of Monday

 Monday cometh and another week in the sun commences. Little to do but then again I am retired. I have a few projects on the go, thus the mind is kept active...really prioritizing the language learning (he said typing in English) However working on the resurrected blog keeps me busy.....

With new phone a video may sneak onto these pages, can you wait?

Stay safe people.

 

The end of Sunday

The end of Sunday 

Warm and Sunday, most of today, here and yet all manner of weather problems around the world. Maybe the weather Gods are letting us off lightly for good behaviour.

Football today, small provincial club called Mensajero, as you will see a few photos of the ambience on this blog, a few more coming throughout the week. Sometimes I even get paid!!!! but usually I just send the club a few images which they use for their publicity, in return I havent paid entrance money in all my days on the Islands. Sometimes am invited to away games which invariably involves flying but if the team loses the return journey is very subdued, although. 

This little island is really quite a closed shop, the Palmeros suspicious of strangers where Fuerteventura was not quite so difficult to integrate and be not quite accepted but more a necessary evil, as tourist euros shore up the economy. The Spanish community of course are accustomed to sunburned English whom are only interested in a week or so of debachery, and thus we are all tarred withe same brush. However one such as yours truly who has no intention to go back to my home country, has all documents etc up to date reflecting that indeeed I am making the effort which seems to be the way forward

Anyay enough babble for one day...

Talk tomorrow?. 

victory at last...Mensajero 4 - 1 Guadalajara
