I thought seeing as I'd committed to this blogging stuff I might as well post another one, I've been here a while now so why not eh. I've had 11 views so far, so to those 11 people, or that one very interested person I thank you!
The house I'm working on is amazing, tucked away in the country but not too far from anything, and the potential here is huge. It's going to be let as a holiday villa, and it's not far off ready now, just lots of painting and tidying up to be done really. The first two weeks I spent mostly pulling up weeds, levelling all the land and then membraning/gravelling the garden. The difference it made was huge, and now pretty much the entire garden is done apart from finishing touches. Put up a fence here, pull out some weeds there, and we're good... that kind of thing. I do wish I had a decent/any kind of camera though, some of the wildlife you see here is class. Centipedes and millipedes, frogs, wood pigeons and god knows how many other types of birds (ornithology - not a forté of mine!), lizards, and then the odd mouse and vole. I'm also in the process of taming one of the semi-wild cats who wanders around, he's loving the fuss now.
I've been skating to San Antonio and back quite a lot, and I found that the best, and by far the most fun, way is to go straight down the main road! It's all uphill on the way back, but boy is it fun on the way there! It's about 2km all downhill on a brand new road, and there's never any traffic. Class. Motorists still honk as they go past in a "You're 10 metres away travelling in a controlled manner! How dare you! Can't you see you're endangering my life? How will I survive in my sturdy metal vehicle?!" so I've taken to grinning and saluting them. My thinking is I don't emit any pollution from my skateboard, so they can go swivel if they want to get into a debate about it. Other than that, it's just been milling on the internet, playing guitar and reading books. I'm feeling a bit better about playing and singing, so hopefully I can get a few gigs this year to make some extra cash. I've given up on learning songs other people know now, everyone can listen to what I like, sod it.
As for positivity/negativity... yeah. Some things are good, some things are bad. I'm cautiously hopeful I'm going to be very happy at some point in the not too distant future, but I've been saying that for about 3 years now, so I'm not banking on anything... In general though, to quote a famous philosiphiser; "I'm not a negatist, I'm an optometrist". Keep smiling, see what happens innit.
When I have something that is actually interesting to say, then I'll no doubt do another blog. Thanks.
Hasta la proxima x
