Me a Favour? |

This
week Bauhaus started to accept pesetas again.
It's a cheap PR move but to be able to buy anything,
I may actually have to start looking around
for some mislaid pelas and duros,
because I've got no euros and there just aren't
any circulating. |

I
tell ya, economy activity seems to have been
reduced to bartering, with nobody paying with
actual money. Want a haircut? If you can fix
a moto in return, no problem. Need a roof over
your head? OK, but be ready to do
the nasty.
That may all work fine, as long as you've
got some skills or other, um, talents in demand,
but with employers like British
Airways now asking employees to work for free,
then it starts to become really challenging
to earn your daily bread. The favour that pays
your rent may stuff your mouth, but won't fill
your stomach. Greater self-sufficiency beckons.

Learning
how to grow a home garden on your balcony
or terrace at Horturbà's summer
gardening courses is a start. The course
fee is 40 euros, but who knows what the
instructor might be willing to accept
in lieu.
