Waiting for a shooting star

Well it has been a while since I opened my blog and started to write, and I have to do something or it will automatically disappear, as I put this in motion once just in case off. (I'm not getting any younger, or slimmer for that fact).

Back in Spain and loving my time here, it has been some what rocky with my dog being sick in the kennel at home, the first week I was here and one other dog died in a few hours. As much as I like to have a few days off not having to take care of him, I do miss the little rascal. Taking care of the others in the kennel does create a link and when yesterday the eldest was helped crossing into the light I couldn't help but feel bad about it. These few furry friends creape into your heart. Next to that a friend in the village died after a few months of pain and suffering, we knew she would not see the fall arrive in our hometown but still when a friend leaves you are allowed to feel sad. Weeks ago my old neighbor changed from this life into the next and she was the same age, only 65 both died after a battle with cancer and yes you do know dead is knocking on your door but still....... 

Enjoying my stay here very much in the hottest summer for the last couple of years, the shadows where there, even though I have an easy approach on death itself I can't help to feel a little more each year I get older. I think I can positively say I will not be a serious sobbing guy regarding to death but it sure makes the reality of my own (which I hope will not be soon) a little bit more believable.  A thing that always seems to be far far away.  The local beach and in this season the many people on it give me some distraction from the darker thoughts, and for you know who, the hot shorts this year are neon green and purple, not a single color this time. Yesterday a hord of scouts ascended to the beach I think at least 400 and really they know how to make a noise and disturb the other people on the beach, even I moved..... That is just too much to handle, but on the sunny side it brought me closer to a very nice guy, he arrived shortly after my move on the beach. We exchanged some looks and once in the amazingly fresh ocean he started to talk, first in Spanish and after I let him know that mine is still below standard in broken English..... But enough to laugh en have a oral conversation. So I had a nice time and something nice to look at. All in all a good day. 

I am about to head out for another beach day although it will be short as rain is expected I for sure will enjoy my little moment away from kids and a lot of noisy video games.... So until later, not promising any more to write later, but it feels like I will pick this up again
