Learning to drive again

Oh my god I have never been so stressed driving a left-hand drive car from Seville city centre to Keith’s house at night it was like learning to drive all over again. My senses were overloaded with information every second with actually driving the car when many of the controls and aids were not where […]

The rain in Spain

We landed last night in Seville and it was raining which we accepted and thought it was maybe a shower as it was dark and getting late. We got a taxi from the airport to Keith’s house and its was still raining the road was blocked but as the house was only a few yards […]

Off to sunny Spain

John Lydon Autobiography sat on the plane taking my mind off flying losing myself in Reading a book the upto now has really kept me interested even though I hadn’t picked it up for many weeks I’d forgotten how much I love reading when the book is about something that interests me. I was seated […]

I don’t want it to end

We go on holiday tomorrow and I have been worried about it for a while even though I know it’s ridiculous I don’t seem to have control of my pessimistic thoughts.

Bought a lot of materials and it’s the weekend I’m thinking get it installed and then I can start making the window, which I am now looking forward to building because I got it right in my head. AutoCad is an amazing tool and I love being able to work through the project and all […]

George is calmed

Also bought 3 sheets 9mm hardwood ply to cover the roof insulation but will fill any gaps in the insulation with expanding foam and create a […]
