hey ho, it“s sweaty

August 30th, 2008 | Category: la vie

so i haven“t bene doing much. i wake up, walk a bit, look for things to do.

mainly i spend the day trying not to move unless it“s worthwhile, because otherwise i sweat a bit. i“m glad i“m not a big swaeter, because i think it would be horrible here.

the most productive things that i have done are book some flights.

on the 8th i am flying to seville to meet harry ben and amy to spend some time on the beach at cadiz. so life as usual, except stronger sun, so need to get some stronger cream.

i return here on the 16th, only to fly to england on the 17th. i“m flying to manchester. dad wont collect me until the evening of the 17th, so i have to find something to do with myself for a day.
then we are going to go walking in teh lake district, so some cool weather which i can“t wait for!

then i“m back here the 21st.

harriet has an appointment with the vet on the 25th. and then maybe i will make a move. unless i have to make another vet appointment. i want to get harriet her passpiort as soon as possible.

i had a serious look into buying a car,
so to register a car in spain and get licence plates will cost over 3000euros!
cars in spain are more expensive than say germany.
cars are nicely cheaper in germany and switzerland.
if i really feel i need a car when i get back to switzerland, i will get one there, as most other countries will be difficult to get my own insurance in.

cars wise i was looking at audi a4 estate diesel 4wd, as this looks the most sensible option. i can afford a nice one, but do i need it.

needless to say i will forget about that for now, and hope that the rover does it“s job.

last week i put some new songs on my mp3 player, for my travels, to find that in the morning when i left, it was totally buggered, would not turn on, would not even connect to a computer, so bricked samsung yp-p2, great, and no music to travel with!

the biggest news is that it was ben’s birthday last weekend, and i went there as a surprise, having told nobody at all (who would be at his party) that i would be there.
it was great, everybody was super shocked, and i had a great time :)

i’ve been to see nam’s new flat near baron’s court which is very nice.

ben harry and I did some shopping, so i have a good cheap mp3 player for using on the beach or wherever, as it has some good built in speakers, samsung s5. also got a pocket camera, canon g9, which is great because i was so sick of lugging my rucksack on my back with my slr, as it’s way too hot here for that.

got some new spectacles, being that mine got lost earlier in the year, i must remember, do not take them off!!!!!!

i collected the phone i ordered from the dhl depot near hangerlane. it’s what i had hoped for, i just hope i can get orangeES to work, so i can use the 3g. i think it was a good decision to choose over the htc touch diamond.

man asleep on the underground izzi and i going up in the world taco time

i also went trough the storage that a lot of family stuff is in, and chucked out a volvo FULL (insert pic of me) to teh skip.

me squished in the volvo

it was nice to be in a cool climate, and get some decent sleep. better than the roasting humidity here.

i’ve uploaded more photos to flickr, so check it!

so i have been browsing for a car, but i think i wont find one. i’m being picky, and so can’t afford one, plus i shuldn’t spend money on a car, i think.

so i have been a little busy since i last updated. we haven’t had a good wifi signal here for a while.

i have sun bathed on a nudist beach. i much prefer being naked on the beach, even if it is with a friends family.

me nudist beach naked spain

i went for a walk to a castle. and on the way home rescued a homeless kitten

my kitten cute cat harriet
she is beautiful and cute, and friendly, and always wants feeding!
the vet says she is in beautiful shape. she had worms and bacteria, but they have been cleaned up. she is in for her first vaccination soon. it will be a while before she is a ok for a passport, in the spring she should be ok to travel to the UK.
but she will join me in the mountains this winter.
it’s a little peculiar being vegetarian and buying meaty stuff!

we finally sold granny and grandad’s house which is great that it is out of the way.

marta and i went to andorra. do not go to andorra it is horrible. the mountains around there are nice. but andorra is a tiny cramped country, steep mountains with it’s valleys filled with horrid shopping centres selling overpriced crap to thousands of smokey tourists.

i have finally managed to get up to date uploading my photos of my travels and life to flickr. it has taken me 8-9 months to get back to this state, but i’m sure i will fall back when i get moving again! it helps to upload pictures that are 1024683 rather than 3888×2592, much quicker!

so have a look at a few:

so we’re off to the beach now, woo!!!
