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!

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.
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.
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.
Im starting to see the whole World as a graph, up and down, controlled by forces that no-one fully understand, and never will.
Well, I always start my sentences with well.
