The village is full of people, it is impossible to go out of the house without seeing a discarded bottle or can, there is broken glass everywhere, my Aunt always comments on how strange it is that young people can walk miles with a bottle of coke but the moment it is empty it becomes too heavy to carry and gets dropped, it was not something that bothered me unduly but it does now.
The kids run around the village at night, this has not bothered me as much this year as last year but they go to my garden area, this does bother me, I sent some packing last year. I have just discovered that they have collapsed my lounger, fortunately it was not seriously damaged but am sure they do not go onto other peoples land, maybe I'm becoming paranoid. I'm going to keep my garden furniture indoors in August in future, it's too hot to sit outside during the day anyway.
There is to be a 'street party' tonight, a village meal in the square, it is the first time there has been one since I've been here. I don't really want to go as I feel I don't know anyone at the moment; those I do know will be with their families, roll on tomorrow morning!
The birds! I keep thinking they've gone, but then they have another morning parliament, they all sit and chatter, it can't be much longer I think.
My courgette! It's enormous, would take up the whole of my plot, much bigger than the one I had last year, just as well Paco is not using the lower part of his plot beacause that is mostly where my courgette is.
I am inundated with vegetables now, trying to find ways of using tomatoes. I made a gazpacho yesterday with 1 kilo and I still had some big ones over, not to mention all the cherry tomatoes, then this morning I discovered 4 tomatoes on my stairs!! I suspect it was Tina, I've already told her I don't need any more, I think she thinks I only have cherry tomatoes and these are not judged to be of any use, in fact I have 3 varieties and they are all ripening.
