live in a foreign country
Just a thought 3 months ago

I had to say I’ve done this, “live in a foreign country”, to be able to comment and, it’s true that I’m British and have been living in Spain for many years. But, if you think about this – and pedantically split hairs and, please understand that I am saying this partly in fun – is that it is actually impossible to achieve.

Because, if you live in a country, IT is no longer “foreign”, YOU ARE! :)


Quit Smoking
Some surprising findings 3 months ago

After smoking for over 30 years and ending up on two packs a day and, not even really wanting to give up, I would have thought that it would be impossible for me to go a day …

But, I have not smoked since September 2007.

Having had some serious problems triggered by Nicorette patches, I’ve done this entirely “cold turkey” since about the 10th day too and, though I will always consider myself as merely a “recovering smoker”, I’m quite impressed with myself.


go whale watching
Do whales want to be watched? 1 year ago

Yes, like most visitors to Tenerife, I have been on whale watching trips from Los Cristianos. Seeing whales was relatively easy too.

I do believe that there is a certain amount of control exerted over how many boats can have licences to do do these trips and how close they can actually go to the animals. Nevertheless, this does cause the whales a certain amount of disturbance and their conservation needs to be remembered.
