O thats interesting fact of day🙃
wait is this for real?
Apparently so. Our aunt showed it to us.
not sure if this is a good or bad thing yet haha
I was browsing the net and discovered we have genetic similarities even to chimps. I suppose it's ok providing they stay up in the trees. :yeees:

Maybe the similarities are cause by the chimps eating bananas which is half our DNA.. plot twist haha
lol I never thought of that, but relatively good news would be if the price of bananas don't increase.
I am so shocked i though this had gone down the drain!
Aw congrats @Abigail! Sounds really exciting working on a short film
Yayy that's amazing! How many more exams do you have left?
One, and it’s psychology which is one of my okay subjects. Thank god English and Maths are over!!
Early this morning the chief fire officer visited and passed my finca for fire safety, both upstairs and downstairs. There are fire exits up throughout including the kitchen. Also safety rails on the bannisters and a ramp for people with mobility. Today I increased my property insurance including personal liability insurance. This is extra good news when taking in people for Bed & Breakfast, but being non-commercial I cannot charge room/eating costs except take guests' voluntary contributions.
Ines my BFF is giving me overspill guests her hotel cannot take. This means throughout summer season I'll have income from B&B and it's all legal. Happy days.
That sounds encouraging. Nice of your sister doing that.
This afternoon I fixed the wooden shutters outside our windows and found some lovely weathered teak, all silvery. The shutters will be good next time we have a thunderstorm and also keeps the villa cool during hot sunny days. It was a good day til this evening
The pest control man from the council made no charge for ridding us of the hornet's nest up in our attic. He said it was one of the biggest ever seen and estimated the nest to be at least two decades old. After killing them off he returned this afternoon to cut a big section out to give to the nature reserve. We did wonder what that crackling noise was which we heard in the mornings. He said it was the hornets. Am I glad we didn't get injured by them. There were thousands up there! :eek2:
Two of the ladies staying with us the month with their teenagers gave me some welcome money towards groceries. Also the Musicians Union gave me some contacts for solo/band work at hotels and restaurants and today I met a man who has offered me lunchtime sessions starting next month at his beach restaurant.
I also finished fixing the wooden Venetian shutters with more teak. Though I feel kinda sore from the DIY, the shutters will give extra protection against storms, and next Sunday and Monday we have storms forecasted.
Family sent all my gear from England arriving by cargo plane today. 50 crates and 6 journeys to the airport and back. All my music gear (amps, stage monitors and recording module etc), my lovely old stereo from home, all my clothes, DIY tools crated up + Sophie's cycle, and what's to come is another shipment of my vintgage cars I'd been working on. Everything I own arrived. Sophie's been with me since dawn, wonderful girl she was.
Also to come, what I'm owed. Please don't get me wrong cos it's been super getting all my stuff, but I'm broke. Never been so underfunded. Still, market was great today. Got some lovely food bargains early this morning plus lavender honey and wild thyme honeys. mmm honey on toast!
So when we got home I looked Joni Mitchell up on my laptop. And - Wow. Just. Wow! It's uncanny.
