Last Weekend of Spanish Hols

Well my new punters are a very friendly upbeat bunch of folks, who enquired of recycling facilities woo hoo and are happy to to be in noooooo hurry, happy to "go local" now that´s the kind of tourists I like LOL
Funnily enough they turned up at the pool bar just after we got there - it was absolutely packed - tis the last weekend of holidays for the Spanish, so when we got there to meet Leon Bobby and the boys there wasn´t a seat to be had, kids OK out be the pool and by the time we had yacked and yacked a table became free and we had some lunch before sitting round the pool taking in the last rays of the day and heading back down to the village, poor Bobby is in a lot of pain with her knee and leg, but she managed to have a good nap out by the pool in the afternoon.
Leon insisted on seeing if he could find the part for my pc as he has a UK ebay account and seems he did, just waiting to see if the guy will post direct out to Spain, finger´s all X´d!!
Zack the youngest always loves to play with Del´s flight simulator so Leon decided to look for the game while online and four a fiver young Zack will now have hours of fun when he returns home. finally prized everyone away from PC and headed up to Bar Nuevo, hahahaha, after 9 and again packed to the gunnels, not a chance of a seat or food for at least an hour so off down to Lorenzo´s and the boys had a taste of real Spain and actually quite liked it, although I think Bobby wasn´t too happy at her eldest eating non kosher food {shell fish}, but Avi like any other 16 year old wants to have a wee rebel every now n then
They finally headed back up to Nerja around half midnight, the moon very nearly full guiding their way, their is something very special about our friendship and I am Blessed for it........
Anyway had better go and toddle up to the Bakery for some bread for La Era guests, as they were so nice I offered to collect fresh bread for them.......

Translating Our Feelings - Are You excited or Scared?

When new challenges and opportunities show up in our lives, we may diagnose ourselves as feeling scared when what we really feel is excited. Often we have not been taught how to welcome the thrill of a new opportunity, and so we opt to back off, indulging our anxiety instead of awakening our courage. One way to inspire ourselves to embrace the opportunities that come our way is to look more deeply into our feelings and see that butterflies in our stomach or a rapidly beating heart are not necessarily a sign that we are afraid. Those very same feelings can be translated as excitement, curiosity, passion, and even love.There is nothing wrong with being afraid as long as we do not let it stop us from doing the things that excite us. Most of us assume that brave people are fearless, but the truth is that they are simply more comfortable with fear because they face it on a regular basis. The more we do this, the more we feel excitement in the face of challenges rather than anxiety. The more we cultivate our ability to move forward instead of backing off, the more we trust ourselves to be able to handle the new opportunity, whether it’s a new job, an exciting move, or a relationship. When we feel our fear, we can remind ourselves that maybe we are actually just excited. We can assure ourselves that this opportunity has come our way because we are meant to take it.Framing things just a little differently can dramatically shift our mental state from one of resistance to one of openness. We can practice this new way of seeing things by saying aloud: I am really excited about this job interview. I am really looking forward to going on a date with this amazing person. I am excited to have the opportunity to do something I have never done before. As we do this, we will feel our energy shift from fear, which paralyzes, to excitement, which empowers us to direct all that energy in the service of moving forward, growing, and learning
