When did that happen?

More of your favourite type of Brit running away from winter electricity bills. When the cap finishes it’s literally cheaper to spend the winter in Spain. Sad times. Reading the news has made me think I could apply for asylum here on the grounds of systemic governmental abuse and torture, I think Sanchez would be amenable

Showers til middayish then nice again. Hope it does rain, it’ll save me watering the plants Read Spain is due to be flooded with “thermal reugees” Hope it doesn’t push the rental prices up!

Happy Sunday Today I will mostly be doing nothing

Dang 99% charge to 7% in less than an hour. I'll say goodnight before I have to call the fire brigade

For fecks sake just how bastid hot is this ancient laptop going to get? I've not seen a fire extinguisher here and its heating my hands beyond reason through the keyboard! Abort?

My god it’s mountainous, someone call an ambulance

Just how did a mosquito manage to bite the back of my thigh when I’ve spent most of the afternoon sat down? Bastid!

Do you? You haven’t mentioned it

Ok I’ll just stay inebriated til then.

I’m a patient person but also not good at waiting. When might this torture be concluded?

I want it to be the Busa cos I sat on one at a bike show and it felt like a great. It would be wasted on me, the Bandit and the 9T is plenty and the Livewire is out of this world on the acceleration front but I still want one!

How would that make us look any different to usual?

Is it G&T time yet? If not it must be beer o’clock at least?

I so do know. I’m the one that turned them up to burningly hot

Let’s hear your pro’s (no not the sort lorry drivers murder) for the other ones you like then. Except the GS I don’t believe that one for a second.

Trained in grumbling from birth. It’s a tough job but someone’s go to do it.

The bit about the shallow end of the gene pool doesn’t

On the way here yesterday Mr Slowly was overtaking a lorry and a white merc flew up behind him at lightning speed and sat about an inch off his rear wheel flashing his lights to get out of the way. He was mid way alongside the lorry so I don’t know where the prat thought he could go. Mr Slowly considered slowing down to annoy him but decided it would be better to stay alive and before he’d even got back across the white line the Merc pushed up the inside inches from him. I saw all of this in my mirrors, it made my blood boil so gave the appropriate hand gestures as he passed then noticed his tiny red n white almost impossible to read number plate. Apparently Diplomats are so exempt from behaving decently they have different coloured plates so no-one can stop them.

I’m hoping you do or is it a lucky dip?

Quick go buy a lottery ticket

That’s what I went for too!

I plan to!

They’re not exactly famed for speedy work I get the impression Pedro the landlord is a very competent person. Since I’ve been here he’s arranged a plumber to fix a leaky tap who turned up the next day and sorted it pronto (nice tap too ). Arranged the wifi installation on a day that suited us within just a few days and now the aircon fitters the day after we arrive who got the job done in about 2hrs. Apparently he works in television, specifically sports television and is flat out cos of some major sporting thing happening in Spain next year (maybe the World Cup?) and yet he still finds the time to write nice emails and sort everything thing out seamlessly. It makes it impossible to leave this well managed cocoon and go back to my own comparatively shambolic life in Blighty. It’s like having an unobtrusive babysitter
