Day Four:

Yesterday I drove up to Alhaurín and coffees with the girls, tea with my neighbor, and shopping from Mercadona! 

Back down here afterwards and a walk along the boardwalk at La Cala and home.

I unfortunately had another of those damn visual migraine disturbances, things .. 

I had my dinner on the terrace and came down and was watching TV... It's very bright behind the TV with the wall nearly all window, lots of light and reflection? I looked at my phone and saw an image.. trying to work out still how to describe what 'it' looks like .. a kaleidoscope is a good way? Maybe.. anyways I thought maybe it was just a reverse image type of thing, you know when you look at something and then at another surface and you see the negative sort of thing? 

But soon I realized it wasn't, that it was the damn visual thing... 

So I went downstairs, darker down there and watched TV down there until I went to sleep.. about one am! And then couldn't stay asleep!

As if I haven't enough this eye thing worries me! And I think stress is making it happen, get such a weird feeling in my head afterwards!! Bloody hell!! Enough already!! 

Walking along to Luna Beach today from work I didn't look at the sea at all, I was worried about glare and reflections and setting it off again!! 

Today! Day Five:

Drove down to Calahonda, popped into work, of course, then to get a bottle of Aquarius, which I can't find in England and on Amazon is about 50 pounds to import!! 

Well, that's a surprise I've just gone to have a look... I've moved the letters about a bit, incase of copyright? 

WoW only 14:99 now for 1.5 litres, that has come down! Although 45:00 pounds for 8 cans is still a bit steep!! 

I paid a euro today for my 1.5 litre bottle... It's unbeatable, it's not fizzy, it's full of things to hydrate, to give you energy without any bad things.. 

I digress!! Lols of course! Then, I walked to Luna Mar beach, paid €7 for a beach bed.. not bad, I used to pay €7 when I working at the tabacs donkeys years ago!!

I did manage about three hours, before walking back to work, and having lunch in the Espresso Bar next door... Always great there on a Saturday afternoon, Ladies lunch! Big long table and about ten? No more like 15 or 20 girls, they're all such a laugh, it's great, even just being on the periphery, you're still included and drawn in... Then J. or C. are singing.. shots flowing... It's just great, and of course, I know them all now... Customers.. friends...

Then I was back in the car, La Cala, and parked in the feria ground, walked to the paseo marítimo and along for a while, then back to the car and home..

Not feeling 100% very tired, and maybe eaten a few things that don't agree..

Since I've been here I've eaten salad every day, one of my 'not to eat' foods, because of the chronic gastritis.. but I have so many 'not to eat' foods I've decided to try to reintroduce some of them... I mean seriously, salad! Fresh food, it's good for us!! Ha! Or not! I've also eaten a bit of fruit, which is also not allowed, just decided what the hell and want to eat healthily, like I used to!! So now I'm paying for it!

Okay, more than long enough on my phone, I'm going to start to put limits on it! 

I've been spending hours sometimes, on Duolingo and mind games .. 

Okay!! Lift up my mind... Look where I am!!
