Not football

 No, not football, but created by my talented partner.

A couple of photos

A couple of photos from the continuing football journey to nowhere.

Although I must confess to feeling a little pride when I become recognized in the street, ¡Hey Escocés!😊 

Seldom do I know whom they are which I fear becomes border line rudeness, thus I must feign recognition.

No one believes me when I relate my shy days are waiting round the corner, especially  when I must conduct any gambit opening or otherwise in an idiom still quite foreign to these Scottish ears. 

Nonetheless, still here 17 or so years on as time seems to have reached warp speed.

With a couple of photos and a journey to nowhere. 

Goodnight.

Futbol en La Palma

 

3.49 am

Yes indeed 3.49 am, And I am awake. An age thing? Maybe I should forgoe the afternoon siesta? The extra cup of Nescafe? 

The feline community dont seem to mind, in fact they encourage nightime snacks, but of course.

So I take the opportunity to struggle with information tech, even here on this blog there are many tools which I have yet to use.

So if anyone can help?  Meantime the clock on the wall says it is now 4. 14 am,,,,and counting,

the still of the countryside

Sitting in the still of the countryside, its late or early if you prefer. No karaoke just occasional hoot from resident owls on their night duty.

The sun has melted into the mountains, Sublime is one description,

A late afternoon on the terrace with a bad short story that some publisher has foolishly requested I review,

My usual recompense is a gracias and little else. Or just a keep the book. but wait, a more tangible reward, can it be? a stray euro or two?

When I see the obscene ammounts media people are paid my concience. which used to trap me in guilt, is clear.

So keep the books coming, and let me continue to enjoy the still of the countryside.
