    Happy day! The two ladies paid me a lovely contribution upfront for their month's B&B. Also 2 clients paid me for doing their accounts. The bank will be happy at least. :lol:

    Wow look at all those thunderstorms either side of Mallorca. https://www.lightningmaps.org/blitzortung/europe/index.php Very lucky so far. Glad I fixed lightning conductors across the roof when I replaced the tiles yesterday.

    That's lovely of your team and even kinder of your friend. Happy holiday (when you go) :)

    My happy news was a fantastic seafood paella made for lunch by Sophie. I don't mind saying it was the best I've ever eaten. Delicious!

    Today we harvested 45 bales of hay all stacked up thanks to a couple of helpful strong men. Since they didn't want payment for their efforts though I had to pay for their harvesting/bailing machine, we fed them a hearty lunch and some to take back for their wives and children. See? This is one way of making such wonderful friends who end up becoming family. Since my own family have disowned me for splitting up with 'b', this has come at a very welcome time. Both are such lovely guys, both with children. Their wives are so nice, very Mallorcan and genuinely friendly. So, where one door shuts - another opens.

    We'll be getting some livestock. Sophie wants a billygoat. Oh, and she's calling our farmhouse Starlings Nest. Very apt. :lol:

    Now we have full legal residential permits to live in Mallorca permanently there is no way we will be returning to England.

    I finally found Holland Park to be a lovely place to settle. My house is Georgian, its large garden exquisite and backs on to the park. Being there is remarkably quiet, even in the centre of the capital.

    Have I had some fun today! I'm on a bricklaying course and the instructor said I had a natural talent and gave me top marks. It's not all bricks though. A lot are breeze blocks or granite, or natural stone that once wet-cut from quarries, dry to iron hardness in the sun.

    Been learning to make various types of cement, too. The course starts early as it gets far too hot by lunchtime. It's fun and fascinating and best of all, I feel so good for having my work praised. The down side though was having the piss taken by blokes thinking I shouldn't be doing it, but tough!  :3

    This is just in real. A couple of months ago i was sent an offer to do some work on a short film. I have been in talks with my boss and i am so shocked at this I am meeting my boss for the first time tonight (Yes you lucky lot don't have meet tonight in chat). This means i Start Saturday Still doing the Under 16s as far as i am aware ... But to probably most mods delight i won't be around on Sundays for a while! I am so happy!!!  =)=)=)=)
    Some people think I am unhappy. I'm not. I just approach silence in the world that never stops talking.

    Good luck Abi! Hope your meeting goes well!  :)
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    I bought a Canon G10 from an old guy who had hardly used it. He was asking 40 euros for it, but in fairness I paid him 50 for the great condition it was in. The camera though old is14.7 megapixels, has very fast autofocus and sits comfortably in my hand. It's a heavy camera, hardly a pocket job for being built like a battleship. It takes lovely pictures. I like the +/- ev which gives a lot of control so altogether I think I got quite a bargain. :)

    WOW @BubblesGoesBoo don't they look outrageous! Those look just A-mazing! :joy: I did wonder what 'bat winged' boots looked like. Just love that pink, too! When Soph wakes tomorrow I'm going to show her those boots. She'll go wild (and want a pair) ;)

    My sister has been watching Maze Runner and now she keeps calling me ‘teresa’ because she thinks i look exactly like the actor who plays her - Kaya Scodelario. She used to call me kaya or effy- when she would watch Skins.
    Massive compliment cause Kaya scodelario is pretty and yeah , i can see more similarities with sherk and dont see where she comes from. But then she used this app where you use photos to see celebraties look alike and it actually said i look like her. Which is sooo weird. Personally think dont look that similar but will take the compliment🙃

They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be.

    I was given my late aunt Peggy's notebook, a thick book containing great Spanish recipes. She also wrote some amazing booze recipes, including what is an absolute belter of a Sangria! omg I'm sipping some now and it's - :joy:

    So if anyone over age 18 would like Peg's sangria recipe, please pm me.

    Think its great that Instagram have an option to see the support services for when you type in things that could be dangerous to view. I dunno why i sometimes type in “anorexia” i feel the need to compare and trigger to harm mysel cause hate myself.
     But instead of veiwing the posts i clicked on “get support” and sent a message to samaratians instead :)
