Yesterday the first thing I did when I got off the coach in Nottingham was go to Gregg's.. I had been craving a bacon and cheese wrap, turnover? I think turnover.. So this is what I had to have.. It was just after 10am.. so that and a flat white coffee eating in! It was soooo good!


Randomly the map above.. I was on the main road here in the coach and laughed because of the name of this adjoining road... Bye pass road! Not Bypass.. actually bye pass road! So had to check it out on maps immediately.. how odd!

Yesterday afternoon we went to The Range, I had also missed this store and as soon as I walked in I could have bought a thousand things! Halloween and Christmas had both started in there!! Bizarrely, or not, depending on one's way of thinking! 

So many things there and really only looked around a third of it! 

We walked there and back, I was fairly tired by then! 

I then popped into Asda and the family went on home ahead of me.. I needed a few bits, I bought a three pack of my now favourite Desperados, couldn't find that, and at the self service an alarm went off, you know, just in case I was under age! Guy came along and just put in his pin to clear the sale.. I said, "okay okay, I know I'm old enough but give me a glance first eh!" He laughed! 

I had an early night, slept well, what with the early morning start, travel, walking and strong pain meds at bed time! 

Today, we walked to The Range again, nothing to do with me!! Just had to go back.. 

And later on around the Forest park.. quite a wind picked up, but it was so good to feel the cool breeze..

Although I heard it rained back home yesterday! 

All in all not a bad weather day for a bank holiday!

As I leave the house this morning walking down to town, the day before my trip... there is a different smell in the air feels just that tiny little bit cooler, but yesterday was 28 degrees down outside work and then I got home it was still 32 degrees 7 in the afternoon.

Walking down now as clouds in front of me over Malaga and a red glow in the sky thankfully it's just the sunrise, or rather the reflection of the sun rise.. because I last time I saw a red glow over there it was the fire.


Work has been really busy so many tourists which is good to see... I've absolutely exhausted.

Still waiting for the MRI in September.. although at least I know know no from the CT scan it's nothing to worry about.. and then come October the appointment with the urologist which will be one year from my original enquiry.

I had a course of antibiotics from my doctor, then a week later a second two day extra strong antibiotic.. the later ruined my bodys health..

And now this afternoon I can feel the infection back.. no time to go to urgencia, no time to go to coast to buy antibiotics.. 

I feel sick and pain is bad.. tramadol is my only answer and it will help me sleep early.. but nothing else now can I do.

Although I haven't been blogging although I do think constantly of what I would write.. I should speak into my notes as I am now, would be a much better thing to do I could just talk into my phone copy and paste..

At least I would forget what I plan on saying all the time.


Did I put these on last post? 
I wonder how many photographs of the corner of the ayuntamiento I have taken over the last seventeen years .. 

And now, eat, sleep, wake, fly..

Ps I think mine is a little tired.. it needs a reboot! A waking up, an injection of something, my old something, what was it Austin Powers had? Oh yes his Mojo! 

Apologies for errors and mis-grammar too tired to check for stuff...

Sometimes I feel like a different person, someone without worries, or sadness.. someone positive, someone still with hopes and dreams..


Today this is me.. from watching that damn last episode of Fraser with the damn poem and his last damn words! 

But today for the first time I saw it, years it differently.. How many chances how many risks do we take, miss.. have ans should take, every single bloody day!

Okay, maybe shouldn't be cursing but really this isn't bad is it?

I came home from work, well, home to a friend's, had two bottles of Desperados beer tequila y Ginger.. only 5% .. 

Stuck in my ear buds and hit play.. walked down to the beach.. along the beach past Cabopino port and onto 'our' beach.. Always a mix of memories and emotions there.. always.. 

Took my shoes off and just stood in the sea... Picked up random beautiful shiny shells and sea worn stones.. 

I looked at them, appreciated them and threw them back.. too long I have picked up collected saved and kept these beautiful stones.. 

Too soon they lose their luster and beauty they shouldn't be taken from where they shine.. 

This could be used as a proverb I'm sure for many things..

Now I've come back past the port and found a table amongst the heaving masses of vacationers.. at La Lonia Chiringuito...


And drinking a tinto verano.. because, well, quite honestly.. I can! 


And I guess with the two mild beers still causing through my veins I don't care I'm on my own..

No one is looking at me like I have two heads!

To be honest I probably look very relaxed!

I could quite honestly just sit here forever and just keep writing to you..

But mis amigos can't post photos so saving and putting this down...

And now posting!
