Ahh...Monday! Busy day here, always is on a Monday!
Here's todays rambling thoughts, and earlier (below this one) is a smutty blog ....I like to keep a little something to entertain posted regularly......
So far, we had a dodgy 50€ note to deal with, withdrawn last night from the banks cash machine, so after the Post Office refused it, we took it back to the bank. They checked it and said it was OK, so told them again the Post Office checking machine had rejected it, so they started to look more closely. They couldn't decide as most things tallied...so they paid it back into Steve's account, took photocopies of it, and will send it away to see if its real or not.
No bloody post delivery again! The elections were yesterday, so no excuse now, but not seen or heard a postie today at all. We wonder if we are reverting back to the twice a week delivery system we used to have, Tuesday and Friday, so we'll see. There are a total of now some eight items we are waiting for, those are the things we know about, no idea of the unknowns.....we've been waiting for post that was sent from the UK from the 11th May onwards, bloody ridiculous! No point complaining as we'll just be joining a long list of disgruntled complainers. There's hardly a week goes by without a letter in one of the english language newspapers about the shite service we get from the Post Office, I'm sure I read somewhere the Spanish Post Office is either owned or co-owned by the German Post Office, now I always thought the Germans were efficient! The spanish post office have been taken through the EU courts as well for their appalling service, but makes no difference!
No shags or skimpy knickers this week....Bugger!
One good thing at the mo! My walking, up to a daily average now of 2.5km (1 1/2 miles). Seems weird that just two weeks ago 1km ( 3/4 mile) nearly killed me!
2.5km takes me an hour, I'm not racing, but taking the walk at a fairly brisk pace with a few stops for water along the way, today I did 2.84 km (1 3/4 mile)
What I can't work out is why somedays, one leg aches more than the other, I take them both with me, so they both go just as far, so why does one ache one day and not the other? But, I enjoy it, it gives me an hour of 'me' time away from the apartment, I nose at peoples terraces and gardens as I walk along, and have a route with points that seem to be getting closer and closer each day, I don't wander along thinking "Oh my God, its too far" any more. I even wake up in the mornings and wnat to get a move on with things so I can get out and walk.....and if anyone had told me three weeks ago I'd be walking every day and this far everyday, I'd have laughed and made some stupid joke....I've suprised myself....which at my age, is no mean feat!
