Maybe I've just grown up. And you're deffo right that sometimes biting your tongue is just the best policy!

I will be there in four weeks, can't wait! That's pretty mental about your ex, what a shame he had bad intentions.

I envy you being friends with your mum, I am not. I adored my father and did think it may get better with mum when he died, but it didn't, it got worse I tolerate her but I don't like her. It is the learning that that is ok too, which is hard.<br />This week my ex from Madrid found me!! after twenty years, I thought this was wonderful, until I realised it was with motives and in secret behind his wife's back.. Oh god what an awful week, as I had to tell him to leave me alone, for the second time.<br />Sometimes the past and its memories are best left where they are, <br />I will keep enjoying my glimpse of Spanish life through your page xxxWildernesschichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204518870992194687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847806411464197611.post-87730375908791535812010-07-24T22:22:43.855+02:002010-07-24T22:22:43.855+02:00Very good o deberia decir muy bien para practicar ...Very good o deberia decir muy bien para practicar un poco.<br /><br />I sympathise a lot with the sentiments, I miss the jamon as well but then I miss bangers and mash the way mam made itBasshttp://welcometotheworldofbass.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847806411464197611.post-33730461220577195982010-07-24T17:40:54.914+02:002010-07-24T17:40:54.914+02:00Bravo.

Our parents are the same as they were when we were children. We start to see them though a different pair of glasses.<br /><br />I like what you said about them not being around forever. This is it for me. When they are ready to pass I want to have had a great relationship with them. <br /><br />This motivates me to try a little harder when I don't want to. When my dad gives me advice. I accept it and don't say anything. No longer is there a need to argue.<br /><br />I am happy for you, but I do miss that jamon.

It's not an easy thing to to - up sticks and move to another country. And USA to England is quite a move. but I'm sure it'll be the best thing you've ever done.

Mine are doing the same sort of thing for me only I'm moving from the United States to England. For the first time in my life my father said he was proud of me for following my dreams. It really is something when your dad is real with you for a moment. It's something a girl will keep with her forever.<br />You've got a wonderful way of expressing yourself.

I’ve just remembered that when I was in Spain once I got the girl I was with to take a photo of me under a similar huge bull like the one in your header. Ages later when I got the film developed (remember those) the bull had a huge cock spray painted on it and it was right above my head. What does that say...?Eternal Worrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16286099574417884207noreply@blogger.com
