An evening on a date with myself nearly 6 weeks of the alcohol 🍸 now and wondering if it's time for a glass of wine eekkk

Came back to Valencia after 2 months. The ceiling came down. The air conditioning decided to throw an absolute tantrum making noises I can only describe as a small angry animal trapped inside a washing machine. And then… I pulled back the covers.
The mattress. The bed. The brand new bed frame I paid a fortune for. Soaked.
Not damp. Soaked.
The apartment didn't just miss me. It completely fell apart without me. Dramatic doesn't cover it. 😂
And yet here I am. Window open. Valencia sunshine streaming in. Already forgetting how annoyed I was.
Two homes. Double the chaos. Wouldn't change it for a single second. 🧡🌊

Two months away. A ceiling that clearly had enough of waiting for me to come back and decided to just… leave. Can't blame it really. 😂
Living between a barge in Ireland and an apartment in Valencia sounds like a dream and it is but sometimes the dream hands you a dustpan and a confused look on your face wondering where exactly to even start.

The apartment basically threw a tantrum. Fair enough. I'd probably do the same.
But here's the thing. I swept up the mess, opened the window, heard the sounds of Valencia outside and that was it. Home. Worth every complicated, chaotic, ceiling-falling-down moment of it.

Some lives are just worth the maintenance bill. 🧡🌊

oh mother of sweet divine jasus what a fecking day. so my brother came over to help me with the ropes for the barge for when I went down to get water and do a pump out and he brought my mam. that was great until I went the wrong way around the island and got 60ft if steel caught between the two banks and had to be rescued by my amazing neighbor. shout out to Richard who without it would of been swimming to shore. half a Christensen (kinda fell in just one leg) the other one is battered and bruised we managed to get her out and cruising again. I swear I feel like them ducks the ones where little feet are going 90 under the water that's the pace my heart ❤️ was going when I thought I was stranded wrapped around the island 🏝. lesson learned have patience to let them pass and then turn around 😅

My life has always been a continuous adventure. A friend said recently .gardens if I had said to you 6 years ago you would be splitting your time between Valencia and Ireland after buying an apartment and completely renovating it and living on a barge on the canal in Ireland would you have believed it.... No i don't think i would but then I always leave my mind and options open and I've found that's the best way to live my life because it has brought me so much happiness 😊.
