Wow.. Christmas?? Again??

I got no proofs, but I got no doubts the days are getting faster and faster.. Ok, don’t bother searching online if days are really getting faster or the reasons why it feels like they are, as you would just waste more of your time, like I did.. Perhaps that is the answer! There are so many ways today, to waste time, that simply did not exist before technology made us believe that it would have saved us time..

Everybody keeps saying that everything is getting faster and faster those days, but to me that seems to be the problem. Things are getting faster, so you think you can do more things and while trying to do more things your day get shorter as you are running out of time.. So it seems, that is not the day that is getting faster, but simply our lack of understanding that our brain is still the same.. That’s right, our brain is the problem!

Last Christmas I promised myself that I would have been somewhere along the Australian Coast enjoying a cold drink while sitting in the water.. Then in February someone decided to rock the world and the rest was history.. Like I said, our brain is the problem.. I was so busy, trying to make sense of what was happening, that I forgot about the simple fact that nothing, regarding Homo sapiens, really ever change.. I can’t change myself, so why do I expect anything else to change? That brain, again, is playing tricks on me..

With this in mind, I decide to try once again, in 2021 to concentrate on stopping wasting time by allowing my brain to control my life.. That’s right.. Take your time, and let your mind do the maths..

Being living in Gigi for 17 months now and yes, I still love it.. Food shopping is still a bit of a hit and miss, because some shops are so bloody expensive compare to others, but pretty much everything else has been quite good.. I have no idea of how people can afford to buy groceries at IGA!?!?? Everything they sell cost virtually double than buying the same item at ALDI. Perhaps is because I use my phone app to make my shopping list, and that has allowed me to compare prices, quantity and weight of products much easier, but feck me IGA is out of touch with the rest. It even makes Woolworth look cheaper.. 😂😂

But don’t take my word for it.. It seems others have already noticed the issue as well.. In plain English, if you are still shopping at IGA, you are getting raped!!!

One good thing that came out of the virus in 2020 was the fuel price.. It made a huge difference paying around the dollar compare to the $1.50 that it was before February.. Off course school and public Holiday are still making Australia looking like a very greedy and dishonest country to most consumers and tourist alike, having fuel prices going up .30c in one night, but like I said before, why expect any different??..

Those past two months were spent trying to sell what ever was left in the container and put the finishing touches on Gigi. But not everything has been sold, so I may have to postpone the departure for another month..

I would like to say thanks to family and friends for continuing to help and to follow me on this chosen path.. You all know who you are, so I won’t bother with names. Saluti a tutti anche in Italia..

I wish you all, a great 2021 and hope that everybody will be well and safe..
