Money Matters
Done Deal
Finally, after weeks of obsesive study, I can kick the graph watching habit.. and with relief…
Financial currency markets are controlled by mysterious forces, globally connected to stocks, government, expert opinion and just about anything else that you can imagine.
I no doubt have got less Euros for my Pounds than was possible, had I even once thought about the fact that currency exchange rates go down as well as up.. the date I signed the compra-venta on Quinta Linda was also more or less historically the lowest point the good old £ has even been about the Euro.. sometimes it pays to connect to the real-world.
I got lucky and managed to scrap together a handful of extra Euros, after playing a painful waiting game over the last 4 weeks…
I’ve now deleted all my bookmarks to various charts, blogs, press releases and such, and want to know nothing more about this side of the World… mostly as I don’t want to watch the £ sky-rocket and think about the extra magic numbers I could have in my pocket… such is life!
Dear Quinta Linda…………well its all looking really nice…..I drove through the Caramulo mountains in the spring of this year and it was a long way up and down. How grows the garden? I see you have a Buddhist shrine? Well blow me down the first one I saw in Portugal 🙂
Are you into the whole Permakultur thing and do you know Christopher the strawbale builder near Tabua?
I was there this year for the Green Gathering.I’m hoping to buy a place soon in Portugal but over toward the Spanish border.
What do you know about size of property and getting planning to build a place from scratch.
Well I hope all is well with you and Quintal Linda and all your problems soon become your solutions.Best wishes for the New Year.
