well amigos... back to the police station this morning, i had all the right documents to get my new residencia, no more the plastic card with my photo and finger print... annoying to do it over again every four years, but now we all have an A4 piece of paper we are supposed to carry the original document with us at all times... which also states you have to show your passport as ID... i know of a few people whose UK passport has expired! and i mean expired some time ago... not sure but i think that might be illegal to be in another country without a currant passport from the country you have come from? could be wrong!?!

it also looks just like the document Franco received when asking for his replacement NIE document on Monday, so i am confused... as ever....!

Moms visit back at Mount Vernon yesterday afternoon... they are going to try her on a new form of treatment, hormone therapy! so fingers crossed, please! and keep those prayers coming in....

had 'goodbye' drinks with friends who, as i speak are now at the airport about to wing their way to merry ol' England, ciao amigos... see you when i see you... as you know i dont drink much and four small glasses of bubbly i was pretty wobbly on my way home! luckily not far!

we also this morning popped round to friends who are out here on holiday near where we used to live, i needed to ask her a favour poor woman! hello! how are you? can you do this please please please!!! some things just look they're written in some other language, and i don't mean español! i just don't have a head for these sort of things!

Life was meant to be lived, and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.
