Topical Tueday #20 Do you take food with you on a foreign holiday?

2008-07-22T11:03:01+01:00

Topical Tuesday is a new meme intended to inspire the art of discussion via our blogs. Each week, on a Tuesday, a new topic will be placed on the main site for people to post about. Topics are open, and don’t necessarily need to be intended for serious discussion - after all a meme should be nothing if not fun!

Design Changeover

2008-07-16T17:05:00+01:00

I firmly believe that the Pink October design has been active long enough, and since it is not really me I am re-implementing the old design. Please bear with me as I attempt to find all the layout errors and eradicate them!

Contest for the non blogathon

2008-07-14T10:27:00+01:00

As there is no blogathon as such this year Yoshi is running a contest - entitled ”Most embarrassing moments in your life”. I have held back on this story for a very long time, but here it is. Make the most of it being public, because eventually it will be made members only. As a teenager I was a competitive equestrian. I used to compete regularly on my horses in Show Jumping in particular. In 1991, the year I left school, I was in a National Competition for Young Riders. It was a big competition, held at a large show ground attracting thousands of people to every day of the competition.

You know you have lived in Spain too long when…

Drinking red wine diluted with lemon, orange or coca-cola (especially at lunch time) becomes not only acceptable but a refreshing mid day drink in the heat. Munching on pickled garlic frequently throughout the day is no longer consider a way of losing friends, but as a low calorie healthy and tasty snack (pickled baby figs too) Spanish TV seems interesting and entertaining. You begin to think that eating your evening meal before 9pm is a little strange. You begin to think your name is “rubia” or “guapa” after all. When not giving a new acquaintance “dos besos” seems to be rude. You no longer want butter with your toast on a morning. You would much prefer a nice drizzle of olive oil and a quick rub of garlic. You find yourself saying ‘bueno,’ ‘vale,’ ‘venga,’ ‘pues nada’ in nearly every sentence. You begin to consider coffee with cold milk revolting. A meal without bread? What is this? Both sugar and Leche Condensada are normal in a very very small coffee and for a few more check out Mizmoe

Fiesta

2008-07-06T12:38:00+01:00

The last week in June was fiesta time here in Sunny Spain. Although I did not partake in all the fun and frolicky I am exhausted, because the all night discos were about 100 yards from my apartment. Terrific. We now have a few days break before the July fiestas begin! I have some lovely photos to post in my photoblog (when I get around to it of course). But, just to keep you content, I have decided to come out and post the first webcam image of fembat here on my blog. Exciting right?

Topical Tuesday #17 The Time to Tell Them

2008-06-24T09:40:00+01:00

Welcome to Topical TuesdayTopical Tuesday - a new meme where we try and get people to just discuss topics on their blogs. Topics are posted on Tuesdays. Post your thoughts and opinions on your own blog! Pass it around! -------------------------------------------- Topic :: The Time to Tell Them You are invited to write a blog entry, a letter or even a poem (if that’s your thing) to someone. This someone could be someone you know very well or it could be a stranger you met briefly but who had a great impact on you. It could be to your partner, your parents or your high school teacher who believed in you. It could even be to someone you have never met before but whose actions you read or heard about and changed the way you see something. Your post should be about how they affected you and how one thing (maybe even more than one thing) they did, big or small, gave you strength, inspired you or changed your life. Tell them how you feel and how much they mean to you. It doesn’t matter if you have told them before, do it again

¡Fiesta!

Spanish Red Tape

2008-06-10T10:36:01+01:00

You just have to love or hate some aspects of living in Spain. I imagine that many countries have foreign residents running through hoops when they arrive, but Spanish bureaucracy seems to have mastered the art of not knowing what each segment is supposed to be doing - that is to say, their right hand doesn´t know what the left hand is doing half the time.
