We just start thinking that at last Spring has sprung and then we get another dull day. I need sunshine badly and am feeling quite low. Not being able to be outside reminds me of the UK and days of looking out at the wind and rain and wrapping up in coats and scarfs.
When the sun shone the other day we went for a walk down our track to collect our post. As we live in the Campo (countryside) any post gets put in a numbered postbox at the end of the track, parcels get taken to Monda PO. Monda's post office is somebody's front room or so it seems, there are piles and piles of letters and parcels spread around the room and usually somebody sat on a sofa sifting through letters and adding them to the piles. Amazingly when they see us coming they have our pile ready and know exactly where they are. This could be down to the large amount of parcels I receive from Amazon.co.uk.
Anyway back to the walk, it was a lovely sunny day and how good it felt to feel the sun my face, I must do this more often I thought, instead of picking it up by car on my way back from fetching Max from school. Yeah sure, I was amazed to see that it took 50 minutes there and back but then we weren't exactly powerwalking. Pictures show Alistair with his new walking stick that one of the daughters bought him for Christmas, it has a compass on the top so we can't get lost, and we didn't. I now know that if I have dementia when i get older I only have to go east from the post box and I'll find home, that is if I can remember what a post box is of course. Saying that, we wont be here then as we are on the move ....... watch this space as they say
The title 'Bring it on' relates to our holiday that we are taking next week, over to Malta which we are really looking forward to. I am planning to meet up with my 'American in Malta' friend Ilene (check my favourite websites) and also a couple of friends from the UK. Hopefully the sun will be shining.
