Money Matters

Money Matters

Finally, after weeks of obsessive study, I can kick the graph watching habit.. and with relief…

Financial currency markets are controlled by mysterious forces, globally connected to stocks, government, expert opinion and just about anything else that you can imagine.

I no doubt have got less Euros for my Pounds than was possible, had I even once thought about the fact that currency exchange rates go down as well as up.. the date I signed the compra-venta on Quinta Linda was also more or less  historically the lowest point the good old £ has even been about the Euro.. sometimes it pays to connect to the real-world.

I got lucky and managed to scrap together a handful of extra Euros, after playing a painful waiting game over the last 4 weeks…

I’ve now deleted all my bookmarks to various charts, blogs, press releases and such, and want to know nothing more about this side of the World… mostly as I don’t want to watch the £ sky-rocket and think about the extra magic numbers I could have in my pocket… such is life!

First Gardens
Thanks to the kind help of Ana this last week, there are now several small gardens in the Gaspar Caballero method mixing flowers and edible plants in small manageable spaces all watered from the cleaned acequia running from the stream.

Swimming Pool
Ive made a rough plan to take on the practical jobs first, clearing paths, water channels, roads and such however, having cleared the beautiful granite alberca on one of the middle terraces yesterday, I realised that it might just make an amazing sum.

Caminho Upgrade
after moving 2 seriously heavy rocks off the road, I figured all was good for my trusty VW to move to its final resting place.

Forest Fire
Yesterday sunday I went out to QL with Raco to try and clean the top acequia, which has dried up, due to the madness of spring I guess.

Foreign Exchange – Currency
Im starting to see the whole World as a graph, up and down, controlled by forces that no-one fully understand, and never will.
