its flamenco night tonight here in alhaurín el grande, and the rockets have been going off all day, i imagine this is to do with the flamenco? just hope with this dry weather the rockets dont set off another fire, last sunday when we were coming home from the coast for some distance on the road back up towards alhaurín on the la cala road, there had been a huge fire, it was still smouldering, as we approached and noticed it, at first we were not sure if it had been there on the way down, but then we could see the small plumes of smoke still coming up, and friends said during the week how they had tried to use the road but it had been closed.

yesterday i began the job of emptying the cave of things i had brought down a few months ago to make the back bedroom more roomy, but after the `fly´incident i thought i better sort things out and bring them back up stairs, so last night i brought out a couple of bags and a suitcase, opened them up and tried to air the things, mainly er handbags... :-) and other bits and bobs! and this afternoon i brought the rest in and emptied them... couply more handbags, and lots of bed linen, they are all up on the terrace now airing... looks like some strange sale in one of the bizzars down town! but they smell so damp, so its time to air and back into suitcases for storage again, we just dont have any space here for things that are not used, and yes i know if its not being used why keep it... but i keep things and thats that!

one bag a white one, never had a white hangbag till last year, is a bit worrying, its not very white anymore and i wonder if it had got this mucky when i was still using it last summer! i bought some cleaner for it today, little job there for my honey to do!

in town today, bunch of us met up, well 9 of us, one of the girls from the shop, cudeca, is moving away, another one eh! only as far as fuengirola, so we can still get to see her and it will be a good excuse to get down to the town, after living there for the first six months when i first came out here, i am very fond of fuengirola...

franco bought a book home today for the shop, but i am going to read it first, it sounds like my kinda book, its called `the five people you meet in heaven´by a mitch albom, not heard of him, but the first paragraph sounds interesting... says...this is a story about a man named eddie and it begins at the end, with eddie dying in the sun. it might seem strange to start a story with an ending. but all endings are also beginnings. we just don´t know it at the time...

franco by the way is re-re-starting his blog! the story of flep erm, not really sure how to discribe it, so when he gets going with it i will let you make up your own minds, and expect the men in white coats...

camera sorted out now and taking photos smaller so i can actually loads them on here now, so get ready i am going to shart shooting...

There is a huge difference between danger and fear...
