All this travelling but will finally be home in around 10 days. Having stolen a hotels password in Crete I have been checking out the news from home. Surprise surprise. Petrol has hit a new high and naturally economists are worried. YOU are worried!!!then of course comes the response from some academic that we should all be grateful because it’s far less if you compare the price 30 years ago with wages, it actually was far greater then. BOLLOCKS. The main problem with people like this is they refuse to give up the past. Move on. I’m not grateful with the price of petrol but thank you  for reminding me. We all have to look and move forward. Not look backwards. Otherwise you’ll never see opportunities or in fact anything, coming!!I can however still moan about the price of petrol.

As I lie here next to a rather small swimming pool in a small Tuscany village called Greve, I ask the following question? Why would 2 families, consisting of 4 adults and what appears to be a cocophony of children… Travel all the way from Holland to sit around a small swimming pool and yell and scream and splash and generally annoy everyone else who are just lying and being very quiet????

And yes…..I’m sitting here too!!

Here’s where the fun begins.  Or does it. Yesterday I tried to start a blog under my user name on a well known app site. Because I am in Europe it tried to speak to me in Italian. After 2 hours I was set to go. Sent a blog about the amazingly low price of beer in Europe and how mortadella is $1.80 a packet here but back home the same packet costs $12.00. Even With currency exchange I can’t believe how cheap things are in Europe or maybe it’s that things are so dear in good ol nz. Anyway they reckon it was spam and removed me completely. Stick with an nz blog site I say!! Mind you I have just replied to myself 3 times thinking I was blogging. Maybe senility is setting in hopefully this has worked. So someone please tell me it  is!!
