So far, I didn't want to complain and spoil these festive days for those who would happen to read this post; celebrating the New Year's holidays always involves a lot of good and beautiful wishes. We wish each other all the best on our first day of the calendar year because, according to some beliefs, how our year starts is how it will be for the rest of it. Well, let me tell you that it is just a superstition. Many times on the first day of the year things have broken in our house or smaller accidents have happened, and after that, the year went on regularly, like any other. So this time I will stay with positive thinking too, although, I must admit, this small event that I am going to tell you about overshadowed in some moments our start of the year and the joy of travelling together with my husband. I couldn't get out of my mind the thing.
On January 1, we already had a trip to Malaga scheduled, we left at midday because in the morning I still had one gig, a last-minute booking. It wasn't hard for me to get up at 6:45 on January 1, it's a routine I'm used to when I have my morning performances. The one small problem I had that morning was that we couldn't find our car key. We usually hang it on the key holder where the house keys are hanging too. Well, the car key wasn't there, but since I sometimes forget to hang it up, we kept looking in our jacket pockets and bags. It wasn't anywhere.
I must have lost it on Monday because I didn't use the car on Tuesday. Maybe I dropped it on the street somewhere, after I locked the car and before I got home. I don't know. Maybe I unconsciously took it on Tuesday when I went to buy bread and other groceries, and then it fell out of my pocket... I really can't visualize where and how that could have happened, but the key is gone!
As I had to go to my gig and later travel to Malaga I took the spare key of the car.
It doesn't work perfectly though. The buttons to lock or unlock the doors don't react each time, so that is why we need to make a new, good one as soon as possible. It can happen that we can't lock or unlock the car anymore so we searched for locksmiths that can make a copy of our car key and program the new remote controller. We visited three locksmiths but none could help us... One was closed, the second told us to go to their other office which was not so close and the third one needed to order from the official car brand manufacturer as according to him it was not possible to make a copy of the key for our car. (nonsense hahaha)
After this third one, I gave up as I wanted to see the city, enjoy our holidays and not waste more time. However, in this mission, I spotted some murals on the other side of the last locksmith's shop. It was the wall of a school, Blas Infante Primary School in the street of Jerez Perchet, so I took some pictures and decided if I tell you this lost key story it should not be a rant post but a street art post. :))
A few streets away, where we parked the car this house screamed for my attention! Music... 😃
The cat was also already close to the place where we parked the car and it would be impossible not to spot it, with that crazy gaze. I think it wanted to come to Hive exactly today, for #caturday. 😁
So what about the lost remote car key? We will find someone who can make a copy of it (I know what the price is... 🙄) in our place next week and then remember - always hang up the car key in its place and keep it in a bag or deeper pocket while on the street. If not... this cat will come for me hahaha!
I had read about the key mishap... but it was in Malaga !!!! As I said... mishaps, travel, I was in bed and my mother sprained her foot... I'm like her nurse all the time. But I think she's fine and it's nothing serious.
And I haven't been to that place and I haven't seen those murals!!!! I have a long way to go! I'm glad you're enjoying this place! Hugs!!!
I wish your mom recovers as soon as possible, hope the sprain is not serious!! 🤞
By today, my husband fixed the issue with the spare key so at least it works well now but we still have to make a new one, to have two keys. In the end, I gave up searching for more locksmiths in your city haha, I preferred to enjoy Alcazaba and all the other places I will hopefully post about 😉
I hope so... for the moment I help her when she walks, massages, creams... hopefully it will pass soon.
Great! You went to the castles, I'm missing the castle of Gibralfaro.
Good, massages and creams and just let her rest. She will be fine with your care!! 😇
We went just to Alcazaba and didn't get time for Gibralfaro (while searching for a locksmith we already walked a lot and our legs died 😂)
I'm familiar with this leg issue....... it happens to me regularly hahaha.
Losing car keys is definitely one of the things that I hope to never do! I’m glad you turned lemons into lemonade though and got some good photos for the trouble!
Although I lost my car keys, Ishould never lose the recipe for making lemonade 🙃
I loved the murals you should know by now which one is my preferred 😁 , Happy New Year!! Señorita mi piano de las llaves perdidas 😅😁
Gracias señor Pumartístico que espero que no pierde sus llaves, y feliz Año Nuevo ✨️
A ver, creo que es de M de los museos 🫣? Aunque el gato ese es muy funny hahaha 😆

oh dear not a great start to the year!
After this song, I can just forget about the car key 😉
LOL, glad to have been of help
The murals probably ease a bit of your frustration about the car keys.😁 They look really nice. By the way, you have a nice place.
Of course they did, especially the musical notes and the funny cat :D
That's the spirit, never stopping and making something good out of anything.
Loved your art.
