A day of recuperation

After a long but tiring but very nice day on Wednesday we decided to have a day of rest and take it easy for the day. Noel caught up with a couple of day with blogging which were missing plus some usual correspondence.

Jennifer was reading and so Noel started to read a book about the early days in Hong Kong which had been recommended and it starts off in the early 1800’s and is very details with the history of many of the original founders and their lifestyle and business. Hong Kong had a tortured start up with people of many nationalities and religion all working to one end , to make some money and survive. Marriage between European and Chinese/Asians was frowned upon and so many of the richer guys had private arrangements and in later years when leaving Hong Kong to retire to their country of origin would leave large dowries for their girlfriend whilst in some cases not at all.

We had plenty of the Costco purchased chicken left over from yesterday and so indulged in a nice chicken salad washed down with a glass of red plonk and then started to watch the some Tv before an early night. The weather so far has no been kind with lots of rain and strong winds which is due to still go on for a few more days. In Spain there are areas of of bad flooding and even around Seville which we visited earlier the week many rivers appeared to have burst their banks.

In the evening we went for a short walk around the area and the road name is dedicated to Ayrton Senna the famous F1 racing driver who died some years ago in a bad race accident. There was a memorial to him as apparently he used to live in Quinto De Largo the area in which are staying.

On a political note have watched the disgraceful attacks on Elon Musk, If you think the democrats could sink any lower than their efforts to stop Trump then you were wrong . Musk has given large amounts to charities which was praised at the time and now he is being accused of avoiding tax because of his charity payments. You cant win. In the meantime in the UK you have the labour party spending money like it is going out of fashion and spending fortunes on travel which surely cannot be necessary as they are appointed to run the Uk which they cannot so very well at all so far. The only light at the end of the tunnel is that they are closing down the Top Brass of the health service with is overladen with chiefs and not enough Indians , as they say.

Ah thats enough moaning for one night.
