Slow down!

We live in a nice smaill village called Manilva which is just 2 minutes from the coast. The village is VERY relaxed (which suits me just fine). "Rush hour" does not exist and life is generally really slow. In fact, we went to the local bookshop this morning (not really a bookshop, more of a "we sell a bit of everything" type shop, but it was closed. This was at 10:15 this morning. Asking an old lady nearby we were informed that the shop opens "around 10:30...give or take an hour"! What a great life. The funny thing is that the other "bookshop" in the village doesn't open until half five in the evening...becasue the owner goes to work during the day!! How bizarre is that.

Sitting outside a coffee shop this morning by the sea, reading my paper (Daily Mail...just can't help myself) I actually had to get out of the sun and into the shade as it was just too hot! Not bad for the first day of December really.

Must really try and get some work done today....still, there's no rush.
