There’s an interesting piece on the BBC website telling us that there will be a united decision by the Spanish parliament to put a cap on government borrowing, designed to increase the stability of the economy which those in the markets and with something to gain, keep trying to pull down into some Greek-style economic tragedy.

The article also talks about how the cost of borrowing is coming down, and the further action on the part of Germany and France to lead the way out of the additional turmoil, furor and mad crisis management that has half panicked the world since the whole issue of American debt led to more talks about bailouts and downgrading AAA ratings.

I don’t know about anybody else but just trying to keep up with it all leaves me exhausted. But we do sense an end in sight. Call it a feeling, call it increased clients and people from all over Europe buying property here in Spain. Or possibly next month it begins all over again, although I don’t really think so. Germany is booming, and they’re not the only ones in Europe. It isn’t all bad news out there – good times and better figures are all around the corner.

Not that that should be so hard, one would imagine, what with things having been as bad as they have? But remember, there comes a moment when the only way is up! And well, we’ve been feeling good about being up for awhile now.  Glass half full or glass half empty time, I suppose.
