OCold cloudy day but just damp rather than raining.
Spent most of the day sorting out stuff to take with me as I have a few ferry trips coming up soon.
Some people seem able to travel light as I used to but now everything seems more complicated and I end up carrying too much. Some of it stays in the car unless needed and I also have a “ hospital bag” which experience advises me to take on every journey nowadays as I have been detained after what were intended to be simple routine scans.
A friend who is an artist used to move to southern Spain about this time of year and stayed until about easter. Since it was out of season he was able to get accommodation easily and cheaply and lived by doing drawings and paintings which he sold to the winter tourists.
Seemed to work ok as he only had to pay for his bed and food.
He has now settled with a bidie in and a small gallery here which is in our old shop and he is about the same age as myself despite indulging in “herbal remedies “ for a long time.
