Friday night. It’s quiet. Too bloody quiet. All I can hear are the waves softly crashing outside the apartment. I’m sat on the sofa with both child and wife already in bed. I could be watching Rocky 4 but no, I chose to attack the blog. It’s been too long my friends, too blooming long.Continue reading “Basketball Diaries…”

Raining Dogs and Cats…
There is rain forecast today and tomorrow too. Are you ready for it? Get everything inside. It’s going to be quite the downpour. This is not your normal English dreary fine rain; this will be raining Dogs and Cats.
A bloody good time had by all…
Don’t worry. Still here. Feels like an age since the last post. The weekend just gone was a bit of a blur, where a bad cold has taken hold of the household. An infliction far worse than Covid – Manflu! This is still me writing, I am still alive, this is not a weird introContinue reading “A bloody good time had by all…”
Mañana, mañana…
So, the weekend was done, but whatever, Monday’s are bloody well great now. I do not formally start work until 10AM, just enough time for a stroll down the beach, walk to the park or binge watch postman pat on YouTube – all was fair game. Quality family time. Wife and daughter had their adventuresContinue reading “Mañana, mañana…”
Nice little Saturday…
Timeline check. It’s the beginning of October and it’s been another day on the beach. The autumnal weather has not escaped us though, wind and rain last night meant post work beach time was not happening. However, I realise again I’m already a week behind where we left off… The Saturday was as relaxed asContinue reading “Nice little Saturday…”
Simple, earthly, and bloody well tasty…
So, we are still here. Enjoying the experience more than ever. I think I can safely say we have started to feel settled; a routine is starting to take shape and the Spanish life is starting to feel ‘normal’. The drama has subsided (sorry loyal readers…), and life has become happier, and more fun. Anyway,Continue reading “Simple, earthly, and bloody well tasty…”
Consistency is Key….
It was 4AM. I was already stirring from the heat. My wife was once again in the other room with the ceiling fan and a newly acquired fan from the Chinese shop.. Walking in there was like an F1 wind tunnel. I had made the decision to put up with the heat. It was backfiring.Continue reading “Consistency is Key….”
Monday Monday…
Well, today is another work day. But I tell you what, this has to have been one of the best Mondays, well, ever. Managed to start the day with a jog along the beach, not long after sunrise. Running along the sea front I can still see in front of me, with sea so still,Continue reading “Monday Monday…”
My New Nemesis
First night, I should have slept like a baby. It was a long day, the travel cot was not due to arrive until the next day. So my daughter was in with me. My wife had already escaped to the other bedroom but had the ceiling fan set to high, making the opening scene fromContinue reading “My New Nemesis”
What iron bridge?
Blimey. We’ve been here just over a week. Feels like a month already. I’ve been working for the first time today, actually felt quite normal. Time will tell! Anyway, we are getting ahead of ourselves. We were due to arrive to our airbnb mid afternoon, the reviews had said it’s rural and a bit offContinue reading “What iron bridge?”
