Alternative Ibiza?

Yes, I remember the crazy woman with a knife story :(

By the way, I didn't see any of the buskers/street artists I had met in 2010.

I last saw Alex in Barcelona (understandably avoiding me). Irish Ian was making family plans. Jose I used to see in Barcelona, but haven't seen him since my last visit to Santiago. No idea about any others.

Other street people I bump into everywhere. A couple I know from Santiago and Granada are here in Ibiza now. It can be a small world.
 
Christmas day in Ibiza.

It is a bit wet and windy.

Weather looks good for tomorrow though, and I have lots of work lined up. Also have a rather handsome framed giant sketch on display in a local gallery.

I'm hanging with the other street bums for Christmas :)

Back in Granada January 8th for a week, or so. Then Madrid. Miguel has taken a place with Juan and Christina. Currently making plans to find work in Scandinavia with his girl.

I am getting plenty of nice work here in Ibiza. Whether I stay, or not very much depends on whether I can pull the impossible.

Currently drinking champagne with oysters in Placa des Parc proper street bum style.

See you back in Granada. Have a good one.
 
Hey Stan, love reading your posts here. Hope one day to get my backside into gear and actually go to Grenada. Everyone tells me it is beautiful. I'm not enjoying Jerez too much, so an excuse to go somewhere else is welcome. Have a happy Christmas and new year.

You'll be disappointed. He's usually in Spain, in Granada. Merry Christmas Stanley!

All cool with me. Working on the streets here is proving to be far too complicated. Fight after fight to break-up (if I am not losing my cool myself). Paranoid idiots accusing everyone of everything. Too much drug taking here. It gets very boring when you have to deal with it on an almost hourly basis.

Some guy was found dead in his car last night :(
 
Move on bro,is black Joe still about????? .
He would control all the dick heads on the street ,last I heard he'd been set up by police.
It common practice in Ibiza to get off the street.
You been warned bro.
Keep the faith bro:hmm:

Joe is still around. Not quite the man he used to be apparently. Illness caused a great deal of weight loss. He's a nice guy. I think him and Ralph are amongst the best I know here.

Plenty of work potential to keep me away from working on the streets. The problem really is the time of year. Too many desperate for a pinch. There is only one place I can work, and as usual, I attract them like flies to horse shit :D

I can deal with it. Strange contradiction for me is that I really enjoyed working in Denia without all this shit, but I will fundamentally argue that the streets are everyones right.

Which brings me to another strange point. When we think about very tolerant, liberal communities we sort of forget that doesn't just mean hippies, bums and love and stuff. It also means giving the cunts their space also.

Not sure how long I will stay here. If others options open I may well make plans to return. Money and work here for the likes of me - no doubt about it, but I prefer Granada. It is my home.
 
Say holla to Joe he's a real diamond.
just say its guy who hooked up with the Mexican chic.IN the days of the nasty secret police.
He will know bro????;) happy day's.
 
This life can be very strange.

I was just talking to someone who I have bumped into here a couple of times. I knew him from somewhere, but wasn't quite sure. Just now I remembered - Granada about 6 years ago. But, I knew from somewhere else also.

Just remembered. He was Kevin Websters nephew from Coronation Street.

People I meet don't believe me about any of my previous life. Kevin Websters nephew from Coronation Street just isn't worth doubting.

Just bumped into him. Huge smile followed by "how is Captain Kevin?". Sends his best. I gave him your Spanish numbers.
 
This 'city' (I am guessing a town of about 25,000) is full of bollocks.

It is quite honestly full of lies, bollocks and twats without substance.

Tripping themselves up. Other than the few pockets of heavenly bliss I don't understand what all the fuss is about. It is a shit hole. The water here dries your skin. Did I mention that? The entire island was without electricity for a day last week. I have just spent an entire day waiting for a non-showing client who called me at 11AM to be sure work was finished to collect at 5PM. I have wasted a whole fucking day hanging around in the cold for some slack Spanish fucker.

I don't like it here. Has anyone guessed that much yet?
