Sunny Saturday

Remember, it's not about controlling anything; it's about rolling with

the incoming waves as gracefully as you can. Being flexible now is more

important than a dramatic show of your will power.

Well sunny Sat has turned into rainy Sunday, was going to go to Cartama estacion for a wool foray with the 2 Marijkes, but M1 and I don't think it's worth going out in this weather, more rain means more disruption on the roads and the cloud is hanging very low.....nah not worth it! Another collapsing house in the village, which strangely enough once belonged to a good friend of mine [winks you know who you are xx] well not the house but the swiming pool that the new owners decided to put in....mmmmm....well it is positioned on a slope, so maybe not the wisest of moves, the crazy bit is that a couple of folks couldn't wait to email the old owner to tell them, not that these same people have ever bothered with her since leaving the village several years ago, some folks really do get a buzz outa bad news, do they spread happy news in equal measure?

Yes Eli N = Norman the ole fella who was staying here, well age concern found which ward he was in and a couple of volunteers have been to see him, reporting back that he seems very weak, so he'll not be reappearing this w/e.

Tenerife is not having any easier time than us by the sounds of things from Eli.......well it is said that the sun returns in Marzo, let's hope so, it's gonna take a month of Sundays, literally for things to dry out anyone want a free holiday accommodation that includes some painting LOL

Anne[vecinos]popped round on Friday to say my cat was hiding in her place, no, Stinkers was curled up as per usual in the rocking chair, anyway she asked if I would help get it out [apparently I am better with cats]because it was hiding under the bed....thought Squidge might do the trick hahaha no chance she just looked at it and it huddled all the more tightly under the bed, anyway nudged it out and with sleeves covering hands picked it up and set it outside, poor wee beastie was terrified, it's one that hangs around in our locale on the rooftops. It was thenrevealed that it was Anne's bday, so I had to stay and have a glass of wine and chat with them, they really are a lovely couple and real inspirations for how you can be in your 70s, won't be long now till they are off again on their boat.

Great Saturday play on the radio - Murder in Samarkand -

David Hare's witty portrait of an unlikely hero, based on the memoir by Craig Murray.

Craig is proud to be sent as Ambassador to Uzbekistan, eager to work hard and also eager for fun. The combination takes him on a dangerous course both professionally and personally, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

He blows the whistle well and all those who chose to bury their heads with regard to our government [whoever it might be] should listen and take heed.

That's all folks :) xoxo
