Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Now I’m seriously jealous as the Amalfi coast is one of my favorite places ever.

Btw, if you decide to rent a car then I would recommend visiting the ruins in Paestum. There are three ancients Greek temples dating from about 550 to 450 BC and they are in excellent condition, I’ve read that even better condition than some found in Greece. Here some pics of our trip. Sorry if I have posted them before.

I ain't renting a car to tour the Amalfi coast! I've done my research and we are based in a lovely hotel o the outskirts of Sorrento and will be touring by boat trips.

Totally understand, driving on the Amalfi coast can be super stressful. I would have not done it either had I not had a driving expert in the hubby. We drove from Rome too as we wanted to check out as much of southern Italy as possible. But the road on the coast is super narrow and it can be madness at certain times of the day. You will have an amazing time exploring by boat.

Good morning all. Out this afternoon with Mr F. We're going for lunch after he finishes work at 12.30 and then to the cinema to watch Jurassic World. Should be fun.
The golfers continue to annoy me. Totally self-serving greedy individuals. I've also been watching the American news on CNN covering the Capitol riots last year. OMG! If Trump doesn't go to prison for this then there is no hope. He has tried to overthrow a democratically elected Government. Even his family have turned against him. Scary stuff. My Dad is convinced he is a Russian spy! I prefer 'unhinged megalomaniac'

Have a wonderful lunch and film Ange. Can't remember the last time we went to.the cinema.
There are so many parallels between Trump and Johnson. BJ is like the Socerers Apprentice , which to do a 360 and bring it back to films is my fave Disney

I rest my case.
 
Hi gang sorry I’ve been quiet … lots been going on not all of it great but nothing to worry about ..
I’ve been travelling in and out of Uk a bit too much lately but all of that is pretty much finished now
I have a couple of quiet weeks to paint here in Spain then it’s off to my Son in NZ to see my grandchildren for the first time in 3 years
They’re going to be so different by now but I don’t wait to give them grandad hugs and grandad jokes

Great to hear from you amigo - been a bit worried if the truth be told .

Hope everything turns out ok and you have an awesome trip to NZ.

In the meanwhile let those creative juices flow.
 
To quote Bob...........................

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah
Make you wanna move your dancing feet now
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, y'all, can you understand?

Well Robert , maybe not dancing but gardening certainly and to the garden resucue ( God I hope Charlie Dymock isn't around ) to tackle some of those weeds. Lets hope that I'm more James Tarkowski than Michael Keane when it comes to the tackling them. Test match special will keep me company and keep the boredom at bay.

Then me and Mrs J will pop down to the pub and retire chez nous for some tapas.

Have a great day you lovely people.
 
Totally understand, driving on the Amalfi coast can be super stressful.

When in Italy, just drive like the locals. Never use your mirrors or indicators, honk anyone not pulling off from traffic lights in the first 0.2 seconds, drive approximately 6 inches behind the car in front and park in the most inappropriate places possible ( pedestrian crossings and roundabouts seem the most popular ).

Think i will stick to my planned boat trips thanks
