Tiny little flower struggling through against all odds...

And a rose.. "by any other name.."

I've deleted more than I'm posting today..

I'm very tired, long, long days, and not always easy to sleep in strange beds..

Never mind the strange dreams..

More deleted rubbish..

Lols maybe I just shouldn't post tonight.. Must be something interesting to tell you?

My phone had an update to Android 10, and it's completely mucked up my apps! Maps and WhatsApp to name but two! Location and videocalling has gone pearshaped! I've fixed a couple of issues now.. fingers crossed.

Also spent two hours trying to send my own money to myself.. from one bank to another.. and without certain things I would never have brought for a two week placement I just kept hitting dead ends! Then suddenly I did it, easy and it took ten seconds exactly! I then screwed my head back into place and rejoiced!

Also, not started the painting by numbers, and not taken up crocheting yet.. I have free time.. but no time..

We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.

Tiny blue garden flower

Extra tired these past two days not sure why!  Probably not enough exercise, not the best of spellers usually, but before I got to end of the above line I had two run underlines telling me to go back and check spellings!! In bed posting now... Lady I support already asleep, not something I can say about the local sheep and cattle outside... a cacophony of them and the last few birds nestling down!  Something in the house too nestling down, and it better be downstairs, I don't like living with small quick creatures that squeak and pick up stuff!!  Or do mice come awake at night!!! Now I wish he or them, were just over my head in the attic not roaming house in full view... shouting 'look at me' as they pass by...

Inside a rose... Beautiful...

Monday soon, time is flying by, a week on Wednesday I am off up to Nottingham then home a couple of days later... tick tock!

Ready to go

Well, I'm ready for the off, there is almost a sense of desperation the day before I go... It's as if I have to go everywhere that I love here before I leave again... Managed a hot chocolate at La Trocha in Coín, and lunch at Bar Cruz in Alhaurín... The sun has shone, its been about 20º, one beautiful day here in the land of dreams...



Case properly packed now, things were just sort of chucked in, the case looks empty, the case looks like when I get there I am going to say, "where the heck are the rest of my clothes, and what on earth shall I wear for a month!!"  But, so be it!  Less is more forsure!  Like today, we needed something, not seen it for months, but I found it quite easily because we just don't have much of anything anymore... There really was only so many places something lost could be!  Perfect!!

Getting back to today, the day before going is the hardest, its like losing it all again, but tomorrow, when I am on my way, I will feel better, because not only am I looking forward to being where I am going, every day brings home one step nearer again... I am lucky, I am blessed.... See you in Wales!
