I am not on holiday.
I repeat, I am not on holiday.
I've realised something today. I am not on Holiday. This is not a "gap" year. Nor is it an extended sabbatical. This place, what I'm doing here, is actually my life. I live here. In a parallel universe to the place and the country I used to live and I need to adjust my outlook/perspective, whatever, to deal with the fact that I live in Pescara. Maybe I should change my blog title to...Pakes lives Pescara....
Whilst speaking to my Mum earlier on Skype, I was moaning about my money problems i.e. lack of it, and there's only really one reason why this exists. It's because for the past 7 and a half months I've had the outlook of a tourist. Exploring the area, travelling to places I never knew existed, and the clincher that's "broken my bank balance" I've been eating out at least 3 times a week, sometimes a lot more. Recently there was a ten day stint where I didn't eat dinner at my house once.
To conclude...I do not need to eat out all the time. If I stop eating out so much, I will start saving money. I am going to be here for a while so there is no need to eat in every single, ristorante, trattoria, gelataria, pizzeria etc etc NOW. I can moderate it, I can....
And that's that.
