100 million for a footballer! and I thought football was a game of skill. Hush my mouth - must be senile. Obviously I am not an avid fan though am not averse to watching the odd cup final. I would just rather see that sort of money spent on improving something that would help everyone, particularly the younger end. Create more facilities and open up opportunities for them.
The New Smile is coming slowly but surely starting 29th Jan - hope it is completed successfully and speedily or I won't be going anywhere.
Finally had a call from Spain - so pleased to hear news from that side. My other animals, Cristel, who has recently had her third birthday and is a beautiful Golden Retriever, Coco, my gorgeous little Shit-zu who will be two on 1st April and Ginger the cat (age unknown) are all fine and looking well cared for. I really miss them all so much. The house is still standing and all appears to be in order. Will sleep better tonight for that news. Anyone want a country house in Spain? Gorgeous area with loads of facilities. I do miss the Spanish way of life regardless of the euro. The tranquility, relaxed way of life and weather do not cost anything. This conversation has brought so many memories to the fore. Sitting on my friends solarium in the evening, chatting and drinking Rose wine from the Bodega ( that's gone up). The views are fantastic from there and I will add my favourite photo which shows how weather conditions can vary so much in Spain. Watching the sun set in winter is facinating. We used to guess where it would set on the
horizon - a little further to the right each day. The lengthening of the days could be seen clearly, dependant on the clump of trees or peak it finally rested behind.
Enough - it makes me feel sad.
Photos are of Cristel, Coco and Igor. Still hunting for Ginger. Igor is almost 20 years old and here with me in the UK. Also a view of the pool.
