My coffee the other morning.. and seeing what appeared to be a thing of deep space in my coffee I named it the Nebula alfa Santini ! And so it is! 

I have weird dreams as you know.. literally from the sublime to the ridiculous.. I watch all genre of movies and read all books! So I guess what goes in must come out. But there are most definitely things in dreams I believe are messages from our intuition or our gut, that's been proven now, our gut feelings have scientifically been linked to our brains! 

Anyways, in my dreams this night past, a snake, and although they can have a vast amount of meanings, the fact that he was a baby, to start with, and although hissed at me and could have easily bitten me, he didn't, I was holding him and... I am laughing my head off here alone in my house, we shared a drink! Well, it was a dream and anything can happen! So I'm taking all positive aspects of the meanings of snake and running with those! On the other hand shitty bathrooms are never good dreams or a good meaning!

I'm on holiday this week! Did I mention that already!?! 

Had a great day yesterday, went to the next town mid morning, relaxed and happy, I shopped, one item only but was a very good day.. 

The awful humidity we've been having broke on Saturday night, there were storms and rain all over, apart from over this area.. or if it did must have been well after I was asleep.. I sat up on the terrace and although a few drops, nothing of what was everywhere else nearby.. 

Sunday the winds came, which it seems were worse on the coast, including Malaga, people injured, trees and debris all over the place.. 

I swept the steps Sunday morning and they looked like I haven't in weeks by the late afternoon! 

Might be a few errors here, writing early, because I'm not sleeping, my mind is playing games and keeping me awake! So I was going to read and have a cuppa tea, the latter has got cold and the kindle timed out!

Our blue moon this month, on the 30th, I have to try and see it.. even if it means me wandering the streets or driving down to the coast.. because the next regular blue moon will be May 31st 2026. And that seems like another lifetime away! 

January and March 2037 will be Super Blue Moons.. and that my dears is like like talking about the past or never never time.. for someone who never looked into the future, me, it's an inconceivable date.

Better post before I fall asleep..  like now I want to sleep!

You know my glasses are the click-on type, so funny the other morning, I wasn't actually feeling that great, but I went to click the sunglasses part on and nothing!! Reason being I have no magnets on my face! My glasses were on the table!! Then yesterday a friend trying to take off her click-on part.. but then she realized she had her normal sunglasses on!! 

I actually.. nothing to do with the sunglasses, but didn't feel right that morning,Tuesday, so I went into urgencia, I woke up feeling dizzy, luckily was seen by a triage nurse almost immediately, no one ahead of me, then into the doctor in the adjacent room.. he tested me for a couple of things.. stroke, and MS.. then decided I had vertigo... I am pretty sure I don't, actually..

 
I am taking the meds, but I think it's leaning back in the hairdressers chair to have my hair washed, it's agony, and quite often I feel disoriented or headachy after that.. 

Doubled the times I've been to one this year practically! Well almost! Six or seven times my whole lifetime, and three or four times this year!! 

Color only, don't come near me with those scissors or hair dryer!!

The awful info on the meds doesn't look like something I should even be taking! Still just five days!! And already tomorrow is my last day.. I think? No, Saturday! 

Last evening it was cooler, and I didn't even need the fan on in the living room, and at night I didn't need the fan on all night.. I had an hour or more awake.. but not heat related.. just awake, and seems like a lot of people are saying the exact same thing! 

I've just checked, yesterday was a new moon! Must be something in that, I know how the moon controls so much of our lives... But must have been a huge shift last night.. when I pulled up outside work this morning same place same time.. the sun wasn't anywhere near showing through where it normally is at that time! 

I also noticed yesterday that the cars were making the screeching sound they normally make when it's a change of season although we're very very early to be changing seasons there's obviously a subtle difference or we wouldn't be having these noises on the road as everyone turns their wheels..

Did I mention I'm watching Good Omens? I know I have the book, books? Probably on Kindle somewhere, because a friend bought them for me years ago and I never got around to reading it.. them! 


I am cat feeding at the weekend, just one trip to feed somebody's mommy cat and her kittens, petrol paid and as many figs as I can pick!! Sounds like a good deal to me!

Work has been good,.although we will already be pleased once the tourists go home and leave us all in peace! 

Sorry tourist's!! Need you really! 

Just re reading this, think this dizziness or the meds have left me a bit dyslexic! 

How I used to be after a migraine.. arh .. the good old days eh! Thankfully not missing twice monthly days of hell! 

The photos are from ten years ago.. and I'm sure posted back then also.. Been blogging over twenty years now.. WOW! 

How many volumes would that be..

Two night terrors in past few weeks.. second one two nights ago.. woke up on my side feeling like I was being choked, I couldn't breathe.. 

I forgot all about this until this evening.. something made me remember..

I used to have so many of these night terrors back in the '90's and then just the odd one or two every few years.. 

Hope that's it now for a while.. hate waking up scared.. 

Spring onions! Top photo... I wish I could buy one at a time... They're so huge here!


Yesterday's lunch, beautiful figs, my favourite fruit, cherries and prickly pears!

Eating the last of the prickly pears.. they don't last long in the refrigerator..

Last night I set my alarm for 4:30am this morning... To wake up and go up on the terrace, try and catch a glimpse of a meteor or more... the Persiad meteor shower began around my birthday and last night was their peak... I lay down on a readied sunbed with cushions placed earlier.. 

They were really damp, almost wet.. so that wasn't great, I'd covered up in leggins and a black hoodie.. against being spotted apparently sunbathing in the dark!! 

Real reason so the mossies didn't get me! But the tiredness and damp did.

The night before I had become a midnight buffet for any passing mossie or biting bug! I didn't want to make that mistake again! 

Later on the terrace this morning as I quietly drank tea and enjoyed the peace and quiet and early coolness.. I heard the vacationing visitors next door rise from their beds.. could hear their morning discussions and cries.. of the kids.. Then they came up on the terrace, quietly and whispering.. 

Seems to be a lot of door slamming going on! But, hey ho, hope they enjoy their stay and get down to the coast.. get some cooler weather down there.. 

I caught a cold, last Saturday it started and the only thing left now is what's in my lungs.. it's lots better.. On Tuesday I got a bottle of cough syrup called Bronchostop! It's herbal and has been amazing, I really felt a difference by the time I got home from work, took three lots during the day..

The shop is now brimming over with tourists, some buy, some are just supermarket tourists!

Last Sunday I went out pillion, on a ride.. My bliss.. #makingmemories
