Driving
over Lemons again
Did
you read the book 'Driving Over Lemons' by Chris Stewart?
Many expats have, before, during or after making
the decision to take the plunge and relocate themselves.
They might not have made quite such a bold move as Chris.
Briefly a drummer with Genesis then a sheep shearer
and finally a writer he went to live in a derelict farmhouse
south of Granada.
However, we perhaps all share the sense of optimism
that sends us in search of a different kind of life.
If you liked the book and want to know what he's up
to now, try reading his blog on listisimo - the website
all about saving money.
It's
in the beans
Well
we've found out something new about our readers. You
love optical illusions!The link to the coffee bean
conundrum was the most popular from February's newsletter.
And what a clever lot. Of those who responded to our
survey 81% were able to spot the hidden man in less
than one minute. If you missed the link last time, here it is again.
And just in case you haven't had enough, we found the
original site where the coffee beans came from, with
lots more illusions on which to mull. Beware.
Visit this website and you'll be seeing double.
Saving
energy
A
good article with some practical advice. Much
of it might be common sense but the idea about the 10
minute-blast was news to me. Read it and you'll see
what I mean. Click here.

Bereavement
is a blow whenever and wherever it strikes and however
much it is anticipated. What makes it worse is if you
aren't prepared. One reassuring factor when writing
your will and making plans is that your inheritors
need not come to Spain for your affairs to be settled.
