I love it too. There are probably special times for flying it such as fiestas, etc. I'm just thinking that if Padraig is right about chaos being on the horizon it would be better for him to do blend in as best he can by doing whatever the locals do. But Padraig is nobody's fool and I'm sure that he'll soon find his feet. The beach by the river sounds idyllic.
Believe it or not they have a top pool in the village. It is a necessity really, in the heat, but it is good as I have seen in many a city. I would love to see this monastery, it reminds me of the Greek Orthodox, Mount Athos and its not far away: The monastery of San Pedro de Rocas It is a monastery that has the particularity of being the oldest in Galicia and one of the areas with the most history that can be seen in the Ribeira Sacra and, specifically, in the Sil canyons. Was constructed It dates from 573 AD and the walls and bell tower are still standing today.
I really love this Galician song, it's in the Galician language (the part that isn't in English) and it talks about Galician people. I hope everything goes well with your move to the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula.
Fantastic. Lots to see there. How far from your house is the parish church and do they have daily Mass?
Beautiful Padraig. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the great Jiminy Cricket, he always had something wise to say. Of course this was back before Disney went woke. I have a little stuffed Jiminy on my dresser, he makes me happy. "A conscience is that still, small voice that people won't listen to. That's just the trouble with the world today"...JC
Yes one step at a time . You are doing a lot each day. I almost got scammed last year and I nearly went crazy as I had so much paperwork changing bank accounts etc. I finally realized I had to just do two a day to keep sane.
I got a two calls a short time together from a lady who claimed that my bank account had been hacked. These calls can be quite sophisticated in that there appeared to be the sounds of a busy call centre in the background. Very convincing. I rang my bank's security department and she knew at once it was a scam. But she sounded so relaxed , almost bored by it all. These things must be commonplace now. A couple of times in the past when contacted by such people I have reminded them that they are in very,very serious sin by lying, by cheating and by theft. One gentleman from Nigeria became so incensed by this he threatened to use witchcraft against me. I told them I was a Christian and a person of prayer and any demons sent against me would be repulsed and come back to him in a very,very bad mood. End of story. Most of this stuff comes from Nigeria. Lagos in particular. But of course we aren't allowed to mention this.
The scams calls are from the devil, and yes, the are very convincing. They want you to react quickly out of fear. With the exception of family, we now let all of our calls go into voicemail.
Same here. Also be warned. The scammers can send very authentic looking texts from Amazon or credit cards. Always always call the company direct.
But then again Jesus Himself died between two scammers and one of them got into heaven straight away. I hope we may do the same. It's not about what we are; it's all about what we become. 'Today you will be with me in Paradise'.
