came across these two photos this morning, first glance its just the shops at el zoco, well the shops that were of course... a burnt out shell now since the other week, but what i was aiming at are the war ships! the first was taken without zoom and you can see two ships out there on the med, and on the zoom above two more, they were so close to the beach as you can see, and i counted 17 of them! this would have been about two ago now i think.
last night we went out for dinner to a local chinese, yes a restuarant that is, not a bazaar! my mates sister is, has... gone to england this morning, then she is traveling around a bit more till she returns to canada where she now lives. she has been here in alhaurín for nearly 2 months, cant believe how quickly her time here has gone.
awaiting the mercadona man now, and only taken pippa out this morning for a walk, have tooth ache, well not my tooth as such, i think i tore my gum a piece of fresh bread i ate yesterday lunch time and the gum is swollen, and so is my face now! glands i guess coming up to protect, i have taken a couple of fantastic pills, one last night and one an hour ago, they take the pain away quite a bit, but have made me very groggy! cant take these for my joints though i dont think!
the points system is in full swing here now in spain, taking on mobile 3 points, no seat belt 3, lit cigarette from window 4, taking over a crossing while someone halfway acrosse 4 and parking on a street corner 2 points, you get a year in jail for drunk driving or high speeding! the day they came into force some people got 16 points in one day! and we can only have 12 like back in england! they are starting in the main cities, but it wont be long before it spreads to everywhere, for us driving here from the uk, this makes sence, the driving here is some of the worst i have seen! so everyone beware!
so many streets now here in the process of being dug up! there are hard hat areas everywhere! lots of people take no notice... just like in their cars, and they lift up the no access tape and walk around the holes and huge machines digging up the streets!
Love is that which can be divided endlessly and still not diminish.

sorry to alarm you! it was two years ago and we were told it was an exercise the spanish were on at the time, but it did look frightening. and my mercadona man? i will laugh when he comes again now, seeing him through your eyes! but no, he is just a delivery guy from our local mercadona supermarket.
Can you please say if El Zoco is totally closed off as the pics show the front section or is some of it open further along such as supermarket, china city etc. We would be interested to know as coming out in 3 weeks and use that area.
hello tracey,
the super sol supermarket is fine, its closed off only as far as the banco de andalucia which is open and the flower shop etc is all fine, and as far as i know china city is ok, the almond tree etc were all ok, it went as far as marios hairdressers on the third level, the card shop on the second level and as above on street level at the front!
its still causing a stir as people drive past, its a sad sight to see for those of us that el zoco had been such a land mark for so long. just hope that when they fix it up it will be the same...
forget me not, that little quote is written by anne morrow lindbergh, from a tiny book a good friend gave me years ago called 'words of love' a book of love quotations... i'll include the others as i go, theyre all lovely...
she.. welcome to blogspot! i have only passed through costa de la luz, i have heard it is lovely down there, i wrote two drafts about moving here! so many pitfalls, but have decided not to post them! and will only say good luck and if you ever need any honest advise please please please ask me! i will surely tell you as it is! but in the meantime happy holidays for when your here! buen viaje!
