Did you want some Spanish orange peel sent over ????

Where is everyone ???

If chocolate 'leaves you dead', I could go back to 'perfumes', 'sweeties', 'Banana Splits and furry animals', Bedroom furniture, Electricians, 'Any other business' !!¬!

Just come back to the thread 'cause 'I is all alone' !!

Hi Rene!!

I used to take people to a little mountain village up-mountain from Barcelona where there was a little 'bonboneria' which sold 'orange peel dipped in dark chocolate' - REALLY gorgeous.

I have to say that this one that I bought in my local supermarket is about 90% as good (and I don't say that lightly) and it brings back so many memories!!

P.S. - I is not alone now - Rene is here !!

Dea Xxx

OOOpps - Rene isn't here!!

I is alone again !!

Renes

OOOhhh Renes- It will help YOU feel better but it will NOT help your poor toe !!

Dea Xxx

P.S. Salt baths will help that (in case you did not know)

Dea

Yes I know - should be paddling in sea - and on beach - Also --- just found the 2 choccy biscuits with my coffee - helped as well -

When was the last time you were in Spain Dea and what year did first visit - have you always loved Spain - did it just grow on you


Renes

I have been here all day.

I am waiting for my choclate to arrive.

We were sadly notified of a patient death yesterday.

Not unusual as we have a high number of elderly housebound patients.

The amazing thing is she was 105 years old.

Oh LK

How sad and what a wonderful achievement for her to reach 105. -

Where is your choc arriving from


Renes

I is here too but am coming and going looking for 2 elusive people I am researching.


Also watching a programme on heffalumps.


Multitasking in fact.


Glad your tootsie is a bit better Rene........very important things feet.


I like a foot massage I must admit.


Bet our Sylvs is chatting away to daughter and baby.

Does she do evening coffees as well as morning ones?

Well, Rene - It is a long story so I will try to keep it short so as not to bore anyone!!

I 'retird from my job around a1997 and stood back and thought - what would I like to do ' ??

I had been on several holidays and always woul 'try'to speak the language - from phrase books etc. - just to be polite!!

Most of them were 'Spanish-speaking' , so when I had time, I decided to teach myself Spanish.

I worked on it and after a few months spoke to the tutors in my local college who said I should go for the 'A-level' - they told me what I needed to study and I went for it.

I got a very good grade and then my 'daughter in law' came up with an 'Advert' in her local paper for a 'Tour Manager' taking groups of tourists over there and guiding them around, translating for them and I 'got the job'

I did that job for about 12 years.

It was for a Company who specialised in holidays in 'Real Spain'. - Not the Costas, although there is nothing wrong with that, BUT, I prefer the 'real' Spain !!!

I cannot do it any more because of my health

It has been about 2 years since I was there and I REALLY miss it.

When I was first ill, I let my passport expire but I will renew it very soon.

Anyway - boring to others but I think that will answer your question for now !!

OOOhh LK - 105 !!!

I will never reach that age - what an achievement !!

Hope she was happy,

Dea x

Dea

How clever of you - it is difficult to learn a language when not young - as I know - did you ever come down to Andalucia

You did good getting an A level. -

Muy bien



Renes

Hubby has gone shopping so I am hoping he will.

LK
So you are hoping he will .....what ???

Bring you chocolate ???

Dea x

Went to a funeral last year of someone who was that age. It is an achievement to be sure. Her daughter is late 70's early 80's and used to go and visit her mum in the nursing home regularly. One day, she took an item of ....ahem.....clears throat.....er....underwear .....with her to replace some old ones. Her mother took one look and said...."I'm not wearing those...they're for OLD ladies". lol

I suspect you are of an age where you 'do' phones !! ???

Send him a text and tell him to bring you some !!

Dea Xxx

Hi Sylvia,

You have confused me as it is much too early for my usual morning cuppa!!

You DO make a very good one but I haven't had my sleep yet !

I have to add that I do prefer the cups with the other handles - SO much easier to hold :

Take a tip from an little old lady with a poorly toe - never trust anyone to buy chocolate for you - especially husbands - and if writing it on a list for them - always write chocolate several times on the list preferably in-between items you know they will buy for themselves
