So tired

Decided I couldn't come to Spain and stay cooped up in the house for the duration. So rose bright and early to catch the 7am bus. This of course meant getting up at 5:30, I know I know, but what can I say other than 'I'm not a morning person.' It normally takes me about 2hrs to get out of bed, I like to just lie there and dream of stuff.I can feel my eyelids closing as I struggle to make sense of my words and thoughts, but everything is just jumbled up. So I'm going to do the sensible thing and hit the sack early for a change. Tomorrow is yet another day.Latest pictures to follow tomorrow.

Water shortage

By Sade|2016-12-31T02:17:36+00:00December 14th, 2008|Comares, Spain|0 Comments

So yesterday there was a bit of a crisis and the meaning of the phrase 'you don't know what you've got till you've lost it' percolated through my consciousness. We now find ourselves with water rationing due to a pipe bursting as a result of the cold weather. The funny thing is I saw the water gushing in the morning when I was busy taking pictures of the house. However it didn't occur to me that it was our water supply. I thought someone from over the road was working and had run a pipe across the road. That was until a very nice Spanish woman violently knocked on the front door and gesticulated to the pipe while speaking a foreign language. Yes is was Spanish. :-)Although I'm in the boat of, a Brit in Spain not able to speak the language. I hold myself separate from the lizard brigade [...]

How much research should I really be doing

Ok, so I've found another distraction and I'm not referring to writing this blog.. Nope I'm talking research. So up in the mountains there's no TV, barely any internet and no distractions. A place that should be inspiring. A big fat NOT. Well it is peaceful, too peaceful if you ask me. I think my problem is that I'll always find a distraction no matter what.I'm at a point in my story where the PO comes to the victims home to interrogate the grandfather. Would that happen in real life? Do I care how it happens in real life. I'm I writing fact mimicing fiction or fiction mimicing fact. Yet to come up with an answer.In the meantime, I've asked my inside source all about police procedure and am patiently waiting for a reply. I had been given the answers before, but it went in one ear and straight out [...]

And Where Did The Day Go?

By Sade|2016-12-31T02:17:36+00:00December 10th, 2008|Comares, New book, Shop page, Spain|0 Comments

So who's bright idea was it that I do a minimum of words per day. Of course it was mine, just in case you're wondering the question is rhetorical.I've spent most of the day cursing the fact that I haven't been able to get online due to the wavering internet signal. It can't seem to make up its mind. One moment it's there, the next it's disappeared. Mark the good ole man who is lord of the internet in Comares, of course blames the router. (I'm not saying it's not.) However the last time I was here I did have a ding dong with him and he hung up on me. I guess he wasn't used to speaking to customers who actually knew what a router was. Not that I have a vast technical knowledge of WANs, WLANs or DNS, but this man did take the biscuit, especially when he [...]
