Travels through the El Scorchio Coast

Well nobody probably cares but I´v been getting a few emails from people and don´t have the time to answer to them all, so i figured I´d just stick a general reply up on here.

Spain is great, completely different way of living, day to day feels much slower and nothing seems to be set in stone, unlike back home where you live by the clock. I get up and pretty much just do whatever I want to do, then go graft for a few hours on a night.
The food is fresher, the weather is better, the smoke is smoother (and not to mention stronger) and the people are friendlier.

But it does have it´s bad sides, I was beaten´and mugged only a few days after getting here, then chucked off a pier. Nothing to serious though, just a cracked rib and a sore eye, but I just gotta laugh about it. There was no way I could have stood up against the four fellas who jumped me.

Also managing to do little odd jobs here and there and also working in a kitchen on a night, gets up to about 45 degrees in there and coming from cold and rainy Newcastle it feels pretty facking hot!

Did have a go at the boss though as he is an arrogant prick and seems to like to talk to everyone as if we are kids. And by the sounds of it I´m the only one that has ever talked back to him. He really is a twat.

Well gotta go, fancy going for a swim with the jelly fish and eat some fish on the beach.
Life really is good.

Peace and love...

Spain must be heaven if you can get mugged and dumped off a pier with a cracked rib and laugh about it. I\'m glad you\'re doing well and having the time of your life and proud that you made the move. Thanks for the update!

Matty, I\'m glad all they did was crack a rib and throw you off a pier. That could have ended much worse.

Ah, Spain! I have good memories of the place. Sorry to hear about the mugging, seems to happen quite often. One of my friends got mugged 4 times in rapid succession in Madrid, another got pickpocketed twice (once in Madrid, another time in Barcelona).

But apart from that, sounds like everything else is shaping up just fine. You going to find time to paint up stuff, too, eh?

We really oughta bring the siesta to the rest of the world.

Nah didn´t get a punch in, I had had a few drinks and the first punch was a smack in my eye which dazed me a good bit.

Laura was saying at least I didn´t do anything as it could have gotten a lot worse.

But yea, I just smile :)

Tim, I ain´t got rid of it, just turned it off. Can´t be arsed with the damn thing, and with me still having a British SIM card everything would have cost twice as much.
Plus people (like work) could get in touch if I did have one haha!

Anders, yea I don´t get on the net much anymore now I am working to much other stuff to do.

And no I haven´t really done much painting, bout 1hr a couple of weeks ago, but the lazy days are filled with bumming about and there just seems to be no time haha!

Peace and love
