They arrive half an hour late which is the woman's self-proclaimed right, and we start to catch up. It is three months since our last get together.
All good with Aussie G, Norwegian hubby just got a job, and they have settled well into their new home at Island Bay, even brought their dog from Brisbane to live. But with E, there are work problems at Montessori School, she also just got over a severe illness, and is moving back to Beijing, where she previously taught English at an International School -good money there.
I am not surprised. E is a typical New Zealand girl who has had no luck in the marriage department. She's too intelligent andI'm afraid wants the impossible, the perfect match. But here my lovely Pippy, E's cat, comes into the picture, she, Pippy, might need a new home, so I put up my hand, just in case. Pippy is such a delight, and features on my Facebook profile sitting on my chest! But E is not too sure if she wants me to have her beloved cat. Such is life for a single person with a pet. B
Our lunch draws to a close, I need a moment to myself before our Community Radio spot at five. So home for a nap.
Later...
The spot went well, but no-one rings in with interest. Perhaps no-one is listening. Time will tell.Quick recovery at Midnight Espresso with a lemon, honey and ginger pick-me-up and then on to a night of Latin Dancing, Cha Cha and Samba, two of my favourites. A good turn-up at Thistle Hall at top of Cuba Street. It is always a good and fun evening. Always learning something new. A new week dawns.
Good morning how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from New Zealand? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in New Zealand in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
