Well it was actually 19k, & 19 hard won k's too. 
Walking Against the Flow did challenge my navigation " skills" & I did get a little worn out saying Buen Camino about 300 times!

Hence I entered O Pedrouza the wrong way, spent a while looking for the cafe, with no luck. So I hit the grocery store & sat outside an Albo eating sardine, tomato & cheese rolls, with a choc donut before discovering it had closed. I walked around town in a big loop before I walked straight into this albo. Later, after sleep, shower etc. I discovered its address was RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE CAFE. So tonight I had lasagna & cheesecake. 
On a silly note, I left my Wise card in the ATM while stowing a was of notes into my small purse. I've frozen the card & will check in with the bank in the morning.

Sure this gives the burdened person a rest, but also takes their agency away. It would be better to, ...

its more than just floor sanding

   Right now I  having a coffee, its dawn, my chest & nasal passages are dust effected, I feel ecstatic. Not cartwheels in the mode ecstatic, just really chuffed & happy with myself.    Happy to have begun the job & stoked to see the finished product.it is a job thats been put off. There have been many real & imagined obstacles; years ago it was an unsupportive griping partner who would have spoiled the work, having a bustling household wherebye quarantining the main floorspace would have been impractical & a poor result guaranteed. But nowadays I only need concern myself with my young adult son, two sensible cats (they will avoid the floor) & a highly strung dog who will walk over a wet floor to make sure his bed is still there.  So, anyway with the risks managed by time, I'm chosen to begin & in this case, that is definitely that most difficult step. Clearing the floor space & preparing the house for a solid dusting & h...
