Our New Apartment

Our New Apartment was in the middle of town and the best place we had stayed in so far. We were so happy there, although it wasn't to last...

Our New Apartment

Our new apartment in the centre of Fuengirola is very nice, or rather it suits us as it is fully equipped, clean and central. That doesn’t mean that we haven’t had problems though. For example, the language on the cooker, fridge and freezer is Spanish, which neither of us speaks. However, I have been able to track down translations of the instruction manuals.

I suppose that our home in Thailand must have been quite basic, because I didn’t notice how cleverer, or smarter, machines had become. Not only that, but there are things, items in our flat that I don’t even recognize. I don’t know what they are or what they do.

Sunday Stroll

Last Sunday, our first full day in our new apartment, we went for a walk in the locality and ended up eating in an outside bar. I thought I knew where we were, but we walked miles from there to our flat. Today we are in the same bar and I realise that it is about a hundred metres from our place.

“I know”, my wife said, “I thought you were taking me somewhere”.

Outside this bar is a set of steps leading underground. I assumed that it must lead to the nearest train station, which is also subterranean, so I asked the barman.

Parking

He laughed so much that I thought he might fall over. “No, amigo”, he told me with a hand on my shoulder to steady himself, “Es underground parking!”

Oh, well! That embarrassed my wife, but as far as I am concerned people remember those who made them laugh and those who made them angry, and I like to be remembered for good reasons.

Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis; in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup; and while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail from Barry to Gibraltar a home-made concrete yacht, which was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker and an American aircraft carrier.
“I am a Celt, and we are romantic”, he said when asked about his writing style, “and I firmly believe in reincarnation, Karma and Fate, so, sayings like 'Do unto another...', and 'What goes round comes around' are central to my life and reflected in my work. I write about what I see, or think I see, or dream... and, in the end it is all the same really”. He speaks seven languages and is learning Thai, since he lives in Thailand with his Thai wife of fifteen years.
His first novel, Daddy's Hobby is from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya', but his largest collection is 'The Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. He has written fifty novels and novelettes, including: Dead Centre; Andropov's Cuckoo; Fate Twister; The Disallowed (a philosophical comedy); Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audio books.
Owen Jones writes stories set in Wales, Spain and Thailand, where he now lives. He is a life-long Spiritualist, and this belief is interwoven, in a very realistic way, into many of his books and storylines. If you like a touch of the 'supernatural', try his books
He sums his life up thus: “Born in the Land of Song, Living in the Land of Smiles”.
