It’s going down to the 40’s tonight in our part of Spain – verra cold for these parts – and yet the mosquitoes are still actively chomping. At least me. I just got bitten, like a minute ago, on the neck…and I’m wearing a turtleneck…and I’m in a bar. (For the free Wifi. No, really.) There are four other people in this bar with me. Is it wrong to hope that the mozzie shares the love with them, too?
I’m afraid that on December 31st when I look back on what I’ve written here in 2009, all I will see is a of gripes about the internet troubles we’ve had in the past few months. But that has been the case, much to my consternation. To that end, I just want to send a quick word to the friends of this blog – old and new – that things will probably be quiet here for a little while longer while we we wait for our internet service to be activated.
The alternatives are limited, because we’ll be broke if we go to the internet cafes every day. Or turn into barflies if we have to keep going to pubs to check emails and write blog posts. Or morph into Wifi trolls.
This last one is a very real possibility. Tonight we drove around various neighborhoods looking for an unprotected network. (Didn’t find one, arrrrgh.) How sad is that? Don’t answer. Just cross your fingers that Telefónica process our order mucho rápido. Graçias.
Here’s hoping you stick with me and the better posts to come. Pinky swear.
we willlllll
