I don’t really feel scared in the market but for some reason I behave like I am! Today buying fruit and vegetables I gabbled the words, laughed nervously and my hands shook when trying to sort out the change in my purse.
I notice other people doing this when they come to England and especially with the money. It’s like a nervous twitch. The coins are not familiar. You drop money (today I let 5 centimos fall down amongst the oranges and tried to ignore it but the woman insisted on taking them all out and retrieving it. ‘Tranquilla’ she said!) and you fumble and stutter.
Oh well, one day I’ll find true inner calm and confidence!

I so love this drawing Kate …
Dic jo, en aquests moments – aaahhhh, les paraules! No surten!!!!!
Tothom riu.
It is frustrating though, isn’t it.
Lovely, sweet line drawings. You are a stranger in a strange land (to para-phrase someone) and so it is. Simply that. If you take yourself back a whole year you would probably see you are more at ease than you were then. If it’s only baby steps then at least it is that. I applaud you for living as you do. You inspire me to stretch myself.
Love the drawings. Please do more.
Money is always tricky. Silly bloody different coins. Don’t worry about it. Not a major problem.
