Forget the left foot

It feels like I have been over here for ages, when in fact it has only been two whole weeks when we left Finland. Weather had changed from sunny to stromy and back to sunny now again.
The shipping in Finland I was waiting for, finally came. But would it had been come at all, I wonder, without a certain activity.
The firm I trusted my books, my bike and some other items, had promised they would call us the day the goods would arrive Torrevieja, our nearest city. And that the trip from Finland will last about seven days. When I sent the goods fourth of october, I naturally started to wait for them as soon as we arrived. I then sent email to their main office, which is in Malaga. -They will contact you as soon as the goods are there, they assured me.  But if I was anxious, I could call them. And I did. Well, it turned out the goods had been in Torrevieja longer than us! -We did not know if they were ment to delivere to your place or should you get them from here, the lady said. On every goddam box and also my bike there was my Spanish phone-number! Well then they arrived in two hours, but I wonder should I be one of those meek Finns who just wait and wait, would I ever have got them! You might now think that this is typically manana-behaviour. Yes, but these people were all Finns. Some of us who have always been regarded as punctual, efficient and reliable!
Before our boxes arrived, Emilio, our white car had arrived and waited for us the first Monday evening we were here in front of the car shop. Hubbie learned about him immediately, he had to since it was him, who took Emilio home.
Yesterday was my turn to get accustomed in the wonderful world of automatic gearbox. Not so difficult, you only have to forget you have got a left foot. I didn´t and when stopping in a crossing,  the car stopped a little bit too hard, since I had used a wrong foot to a wrong pedal - the breaks!!!! Before that I nearly killed a biker, but he was in a wrong place at a wrong time anyway. Other than that, I will drive Emilio today again. Pray for me, cross your fingers, whatever you do! I so have to start driving Emilio wholly.
