I thought the same

Yes but in Poland we have much more rain than this

I was once nervous about having surgery. The anaesthetist winked at me and said don’t you worry I’m going to mix you up a really good cocktail. Wow he was a skilled, I had a fantastic time, can’t remember all of it but I do remember asking him to marry me

Oh shit which one am I?

Ooh look at that tarmac

Otis Reddings song done by Aretha. A bit unfair cos who didn’t she out canary?!

Frank Warrens still alive?! Not only alive but looking exactly the same shithead as he ever did. Deal with the devil methinks.

Thanks lovely. Generally I do

Generally I am a relaxed sort. I know the British are understandably not a particularly liked breed but I have had the warmest of welcomes. Lots of smiley eyes even in places as dull as the supermarket. I'm a bit frustrated now with my lack of spanish language. Thats something I have to tackle asap.

I completely agree with boboneleg. Great pics. Lovely write up. Im always happy to see/hear someone who has responsibilities gets out on a trip. Food for the soul. Manner from heaven.

They even give you free food here just for ordering a drink! They haven't bought into the savage ideals of capitalism, working out how to get every cent from every interaction at every opportunity isn't their bag. I love it. Last saturday a taxi driver took us to pick up a very large food order, I needed him to wait while I picked it up and then give us a lift home. I explained I was happy to pay for the waiting time, he wouldn't have any of it. Back home that clock would have been started and kept running double time. He picked up a mate of his en route and they both jumped out of the car and helped bring the bags into the house. Its a different mentality.

He doesn't have a particularly slapable face, quite the opposite Hmm best lay off the bloody marys

@MooN great stuff. Love the pics and the write up. Chuffed your wife got you a proper phone, they make life a lot easier, well they do so long as you're not a social media sucker.

Well I know that now but my experience of the word meant they wanted far more than a hug Thats why I was surprised to read Sir Fallsalot saying he was waiting for his wife to come home and give him a cwtch. He's not normally that rude

Im rather relieved to discover cwtch doesnt mean what I thought it did

I've got a bit of sympathy with the excessive signage. Thats grown up out of bad experiences. People come for a walk down where I live but don't stick to the path because they want a gander at other parts of the farm and it's feckin dangerous. You'd be driving a tractor at full pelt and some gormless twat thats not supposed to be there would suddenly appear in front of you. Tractors do not stop easily. Or annoyingly some arsehole would decide that the lane was quiet so it was ok to park their car up and go off for a walk blocking access. One woman asked if it was ok to take some pictures, we said yes. She stepped backwards off a bank fell and broke her ankle and then tried to sue us. I have many more stories about the public being thick as shit on the farm doing stuff that makes you wonder how they're still alive or why they want to cause so much damage so I get their pain!

Great lid. Not many on here would have the flair for that.

Its a tourist trap that closes every weekend, thats so Spanish

Might go to that tourist trap where they filmed the spaghetti westerns instead, always wanted to go there when I was a kid.

Umm yer they had the element of surprise.

Morocco doesn't look like a good move right now. The UK gov travel advice says "The Moroccan government has announced that the current suspension of ferry services will be extended until further notice." Although this appears to be out of date and ferry services were allowed for vehicles on the 18th April Two ports have tickets for sale but the fastest service available is 3 hours, the 1 hour services are not running. Morocco are also asking for proof of vaccination AND proof of a valid PCR test within 48 hours before entry. They will also randomly select people for further PCR testing at the airport and within 48 hours of arrival. Apart from the faster 1 hour ferries not currently running and the expense n hassle of the PCR's theres also a risk of getting stuck and having to quarantine there (£££) if you happen to get caught out with a random post arrival PCR test. Hmph. Mind you that info's from the UK government so that could all be wrong too. Unreliable idiots.

Ive only seen two flies here so far this April, its windy and its not quite their season yet, same with the ants, theyre still in downtime. Should be fine.
