Arriving in Barceloooooona
Posted on 2:36pm Thursday 5th February 2009
When I step off the plane it is tempting to yell “Barceloooooona” Queen style. But unusually for me I exercise decorum and restraint and just grin instead. I am sooo pleased to be here. A new city to explore, plus I'm back in the land of Chocolata and churros. Which pleases my gluttonous heart no end.

Looking to the future
Posted on 10:53am Thursday 12th February 2009
'Tis the season to be jolly, ooohhh, don’t know about that! Seems to me that every channel on the one eyed goggle box shows little but despair and despondency for Christmas. Never mind, only 374 days until the next one and perhaps that may bring good cheer to one and all.

What a strange time of the year it appears to be! We’re experiencing one of the earliest cold spells we’ve had here in Andalucia, with ‘nieve’ (snow) all over the Sierra’s right behind us.

Precipitation preoccupation

AS a nation there are certain things that we like to believe about ourselves: a love of fair play and kindness to animals, to name but two.

How time flies when you’re enjoying yourself, or so the saying goes. The last four or five weeks have been a blur of work and getting the jobs done for the winter, or at least the more temperate part of the year. But now I find myself lounging around again with time on my hands until the next flurry of jobs, if any, come in. it’s nice to have the luxury of choice when picking the work that most suits my mood though as they say, money is money and though the majority of the jobs I’m taking on at the moment are far removed from anything connected with my career of the last thirty five years or so, they’re certainly more enjoyable and interesting and they pay well.

Para que no olvidamos!

This morning saw us pick the first orange of winter off one of our trees. Although we only have a few fruit bushes, it usually produces a small harvest which will last until the spring's second crop. Add to this the extremely long summer this year which has thrown a number of fruit and veg harvests out of sync and you have an unexpected bounty of all things summery in the form of the exotic foodstuffs expected to flood the Christmas markets, now that is a good sign!

The Threshold of History

‘HOW extraordinary’. Those are about the only words that I can come up with to describe the events in world affairs that have unfolded this week.

That’s it, time to move further south!

A week of rain and I’m not a happy bunny, though everyone says I’m ungrateful as we need the rain to rejuvenate the land and refill the reservoirs after the extremely long hot summer we have just had. Well, okay, I’ll give it another year then, though today being Saturday usually means local market shopping, hustle and bustle in the town, doing those little jobs for people only available at weekends, but not today.
