So I'm tucked up in the corner of a very nice cafe and I am acutely aware that I have totally neglected blogland for a very long time. I still read my favourites everyday but I have stopped commenting, stopped posting and generally find myself at a loss for words. What do I have to say that is interesting?
Not a lot.
BUT I thought I'd force myself to post anyway, and see if it breaks my icy word prison.
So recently I decided to move back to England temporarily to spend the summer working as a language teacher. It was a choice between this or working in Pamplona, being with my boyfriend and getting to see San Fermin. I bet you're wondering why I chose England? Well... I can speak the language here a lot better, my best friend needed me for red wine and cuddles and the salary seemed a lot better. The whole idea just seeemed more... easy.
Oh how I have learnt that 'easy' is not actually the fun option! I ended up quitting my job here after two weeks, running off to work in a little countryside farm shop and cidery and now have to somehow afford rent, loan repayments and save for future trips planned this year. I feel restless again.
The farm shop is absolutely gorgeous and my walk to work entails picking early blackberries and then rushing home to make cordial to put in my mojitos! I know it sounds fun, and it is, but I actually miss the solitude of Spain and the challenge of communication that I would face everyday. I miss the food. And above all, why did I decide to be away from my boyfriend?
Pfffffft.
So here I am. Treading the same old streets, struggling to make ends meet. If you're looking for a bargain or two you can check out my ebay (http://shop.ebay.co.uk/sallybean45/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=)
... I am selling numerous things, adding more everyday, and I have a few furniture restoration projects underway... involving really cute vintage sewing tables.
I've got crafts on the brain... I need to make some money. Maybe I'll start a little blackberry shop on the side of the road. Any fun money spinning suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Anything to stop this restlessness.
In the meantime, check out these cute scarecrows from my place of work (blog entry to follow soon)

Excuse me while I just pick myself up off the floor.
ReplyDelete...
You're back!
Always good to break the icy word prison, I know that feeling well, you just have to whack anything out and then the floodgates open.
You are a little mentalist, leaving your boyfriend behind, but it all sounds very perfect English countryside, working in the farm shop and picking blackberries on the way to work.
We never make the right decisions it would seem! Oh well...just need to get on with it! xxx
ReplyDelete"I need to make some money"
ReplyDeleteHey I've been there, done that and want you to know that a job is not the best way to earn money.
After 23 years, my wife and I have more than 10 income sources and no jobs. We work for ourselves and we control the one thing EVERYONE must have to survive in our world - MONEY.
JOB = SINGLE INCOME SOURCE
SELF-EMPLOYED = MULTIPLE INCOME SOURCES
Now it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the JOB approach to making money is just CRAZY - the job goes away your income goes away - holy crap now what? Look for another JOB? Stupid!
Why not create multiple, as many as you can, income sources so if one goes away you have others to provide you with what you have to have to survive - MONEY?
Here's a free way you can create an income source for yourself for just doing what you're doing right now BEING ONLINE:
