Following my morning fencing, I have mostly been out of commission, I made the mistake of doing this without my back-support, as a result, I put my back out. It is a long time since I have suffered, but this brought it all back, and for the first two days, I was housebound, but slowlyContinue reading “Out of Commission”

In Limbo
I haven\’t had anything to report, due to the pandemic, we have restricted ourselves to only venturing out of the house when necessary. We did nip over to Bello last week, to look at the new kitchen we had put in the house there, for my Mother-in-law, it\’s a nice kitchen, but the workmanship isContinue reading “In Limbo”
Back to work!
It\’s been a busy week or so, I started off installing the house alarm system, it is now up and running, the instructions were translated by someone, somewhere in China, and hadn\’t a clue, but since it was similar to the system I installed in Copacabana, and with the aid of a YouTube video orContinue reading “Back to work!”
Motorcycle Taxi
Another week has gone by, not a lot to show for it, my days have been mucked up to a degree, because without a car, I have been running Marcela from home to Niquia, which is on our side of Bello, and then she has caught the bus to work, it was the only wayContinue reading “Motorcycle Taxi”
What a Week!
Thank goodness Pepe seems to be improving, his sneezing has all but stopped, and he is now on different food, with no human leftovers, but now Tito has started sneezing, anyone who tells me that sneezing in dogs, is nothing to do with colds, is going to get a thump. I went down town yesterday,Continue reading “What a Week!”
Another Year Passes

So last night we went to one of our favourite Restaurants, Guadaloupe, in Bello, as the name suggests it is Mexican, the food is fantastic, good quantities, and we have never had aContinue reading “Another Year Passes”
Busy Week!
Thursday, I stayed at home, the Local Authority were working on our road, and it was supposedly shut to traffic all morning, although in the end I think it was only shut altogether for a couple of hours, I cut the grass, and trimmed the hedges. Friday morning, I went over to Bello on theContinue reading “Busy Week!”
It Sounds Like a New Car
On Monday, I took the Montero to Bello and left it with the Mechanic as planned, then went with Marcela to the shop, where, I then borrowed her car for the morning, and headed into the City, to a place that sells cardboard boxes, it was worth the trip, by going there, I bought themContinue reading “It Sounds Like a New Car”
A Shame!
It\’s a shame, the man came last night, and liked the place, but he does not want to take out a loan, and the other property he has seen will take the cash from his house, plus an apartment he owns, unfortunately that does not equate to our price, and I am not taking outContinue reading “A Shame!”
Depressed!
I said I wouldn\’t be about, but I am writing this really for my own benefit…as have said elsewhere, this really is my diary, and it is somewhere I can come back to for information. To say I am feeling depressed is an understatement, I left home reasonably early this morning, to go shopping inContinue reading “Depressed!”
