5th August 2012
As always the August heat is overwhelming and makes it
impossible to do any work in the garden.
We have a huge amount of tomatoes which we plan to give to friends. The hot peppers we have grown will be dried
and at the moment are hanging in the sunshine.
We have a large amount of apples this year and the figs are beginning to
ripen. Horror of horrors we have a rats
nest in the ivy which grows near to the house.
During the past few weeks we have had ups and downs. I visited England to celebrate my 60th
and had an exhausting but good time. I was very surprised how kind people were
on the tubes in London. I had numerous offers with people offering me their
seats and to carry my bags. Big surprise!
Since returning we have received an offer for our little
casita and hopefully it will be sold by September. Although we have lost a huge amount of money
we are lucky that someone wants to buy it as the situation in Spain at the
moment is dire. On the down side we
received notification that I have received a large fine due to my stepson
riding a motorbike without insurance. Unfortunately the bike was registered in
my name so I am responsible. Step son is
now in the UK and not responding to emails and telephone calls. When I received
the notification my first thoughts were to run away back to the UK. I have now
calmed down but still wonder whether I should go back. Life here is good but at times I feel that I
am not in control of my life particularly in terms of the laws etc. Well we
shall see and maybe I will visit the UK in the New Year and investigate what
benefits I can receive if I do return.
Also this is my second day of not smoking. I’m not finding
it too difficult but the patches keep coming off due to the heat.
Well that’s it for now……………….but before I go please like my Facebook link before you go.
Many thanks
