The view from the back

My blog is about our move to Spain, to be exact it's about the intergration of a techno junkie and his lovely wife of 30 yrs into 18th century Spain.

permiso sorted
Wednesday, July 31, 2013 @ 5:31 PM

Just been sat watching a guy and his grandson fishing near the harbour in Garucha they didn't catch but seemed to be having a good attempt won't be long now before my tackle arrives , after all the worries a few weeks back ( permiso ) re fishing licences all was sorted with a little local knowledge , Andalusian licences are a admin nightmare for non NIE holders but Cataluna licences are available on line free to all , well not free of euro's but free of hassle and all the regions on the coast have agreed to respect each others issues for recreational use so easy , Permiso granted. 
Generally life is goooood , but the lovely wife is now tryin to kill me off, she went to the mercadona and came home with some lovely prawns all red an lushness in their shells ( the lovely wife has a prawn allergy so had squid ) with salad , in I dived grabbed a prawn pulled off the head and sucked as I've done loads of times before , expecting the taste of the sea  I got the taste of RAW prawn ! What the duck ? Well there so red I thought they where cooked already ! Thankfully a quick trip through the fry pan in some EV oil and all was well , as for me ? The prawns were so fresh and clean no prob , bet that would not be he case from tesco . Typical wife crime attempted poisoning LOL .  
Our bits and bobs arrive tomorrow pm , the rental is supposed to be furnished , it is so long as you only want to make buttys and carry your tooth brush with you as there is a massive shortage of places to put any thing down not even wall cupboards or a shelf in the kitchen . The beds and sofas were made for vertically challenged people when you sit on the sofa yer butt is just 8" off the floor and yer knees are in your chest the beds have mattresses so thin a 13 tog duvet would be thicker and again just inches off the floor a real strain on tired knees , so roll on thurs night in my own bed with my own mattress , paradise keeps getting a little better. But the arrival of 150 boxes in this heat is daunting as we un pack some and strategically store the rest around the house until we move again for hopefully the last time .
