It’s moving time again. We have gone to a different location in the same town we were in last year. Although this time it’s not an apartment. We’re in a house. About 200 m from the sea. That’s not too bad, is it? We’re a bit further away from the shops, but on the other … Read more
The past few days have been very stormy, causing the waves to be swept up a lot. The beach will probably still be present under the surf, but there is hardly anything to see of it over the entire coastline. It’s an impressive view, seeing the waves break on the rocks. I feel sorry for … Read more
In my daily exercise schedule, there is a yoga routine every 3 days. The different postures went really well, so probably I became a bit too overconfident. And a week ago this resulted in almost breaking my back. 🙁 All the more reason why I was so proud last weekend when we finished 2 walks … Read more
This roundabout marks the start of one of the outskirts of Puerto de Mazarrón: El Alamillo. And at the same time marked the halfway point of our walk today. It was exactly an hour to get here, the same amount of time half of the walk yesterday took us. But since the route was a … Read more

One of the things I keep track of in my journal are my daily goals. We all have goals or tasks, or whatever you want to call them. Some years ago I started with a system of getting my goals done. It is easier to complete a goal or make something to a daily practice … Read more
At the beginning of July, I started in a new journal. The white one, that I got as a goodbye present from my friend Jenny. Today I started in another new journal because the white one is full. I write a lot. At least twice a day, mornings and evenings. And sometimes during the day … Read more
Today is our anniversary: 43 years ago we got married in Breda, our hometown. We told this to a friend yesterday. She lost her husband 2 years ago so never got past 30 years of marriage.

There are 3 areas in Spain, I don’t like at all. Benidorm, Torremolinos and La Manga. Mainly because of all the high apartment buildings.
