Here you go @Pedro No pound coins Thanks. There is a market here twice a week with real produce But todays choices were dictated by external factors so the tiring supermarket won.

I’m glad you said that because I didn’t want to post I’ve tried them and they’re not very good.

Ok but I’m going to check a euro against the size of a pound coin first so theres proper perspective. Off to search for coins.

They’re about triple the size of peppers available in the UK UK supermarket sizes, shapes and ages are very strictly regulated. Everything is uniform in size and must last forever in a fridge. I’m talking weeks. Consequently everything is picked and shipped woefully small and under ripe and the flavour is hugely compromised as a consequence. When I said I’d move here for the tomatoes alone I wasn’t kidding

Yes but at the moment it looks bigger and more unwieldy than my little pump that can to both things so I wanted to see some perspective. Like the pic I took for someone else earlier of the Chernobyl peppers in the supermarket Don’t reckon they’d do as good a job on your tyres.

Holy crap batman I thought I had at least another week!

Need something for perspective. It looks like an unwieldy bundle at the moment.

Thats so weird I was just thinking he should come back. I’d even unblock him to see the smiling skeleton playing in the water.. so long as he can keep a grip on some of the other insulting stuff, if not.. He must miss you Pete?

Back from Baza urr I mean Albox nope I mean Motril. It was f’in heaving. I’ve never seen it like that ever. I was there for the Spanish equivalent of rush hour and it is Saturday but even so. Think there must be some sort of festival going on, lots of noise last night (until I removed my bionic ears) and for the first time ever I had to carry my shopping more than 5 metres Guessing it’s something religious and maybe Easter based?

Oh and the bike basher is back!! Well maybe true but 13 of us rode Himalayans in extremely testing conditions for days on end through all-sorts and made it to Everest. Would a nice little road Honda? We’ll never know, they don’t like to get wet

Yer that last pill was one too many.

If you were chewing wasps as well yer.

After I get my arse off this forum and on the bike down to the supermarket. I've so far managed to delay for over 8 hours. I think that might be a record for me I can see Mr Slowlys face when he arrives tomorrow, everything's shut and theres f'all to eat or drink. Looks a bit like Boboneleg in the rain

Wot you on about I am a peasant. Just one that accidentally read a book! Any rate Petes not talking about when you come out, he want's a booking for his client now

Ignore the knuckledraggers I haven't no and from the looks of that photo I'm not sure I should I have read about Franco's stolen babies. His policy of taking babies and children from their parents (often immediately after being born in hospital and telling the parents they were dead) and placing them with more 'appropriate' families, a policy that carried on well after his death on to the 90's. Horrifying. They've certainly have a lot of shit to unpack, possibly too much.

A shameless plug! Good on ya

Thats nice of you, thanks. I looked it up not long after we arrived here last year when it stayed dark in the morning for what's seemed like forever. Time zones it appears have always been a political not a scientific decision in every country and lots have had their hours changed for one dumb reason or another. Whether Spain stayed neutral would be a hot topic so I'm staying away from that! They've been weighing up whether to change back forever but apparently El Pais says polls show the Spanish people overwhelmingly do not want it to switch back. What that reading led me onto was what Franco actually did which somehow was irrelevant and unreported in the UK. The Pact of Forgetting has a long legacy. I very much hope they can traverse facing such a painful thing without too much pain.

We shall see what version of "No pasa na" airport parking unveils tomorrow

@Skippy’s got it all wrong hasn’t he. Retiring to Spain, enjoying the sunshine, playing golf, riding his bike off road and chillin. He’d be having a much better time if he carried on working at a desk, drove backward and forwards buying teabags, pellets, hay, spending his money only his adoring daughter in law and occasionally visiting a decaying corpse in some ruins. Yer wotta ponce

What does that mean? I hear de nada (you’re welcome/no problem) a lot. Google translate says thats “nothing happens”
-
Well it’ll happen when it happens so it doesn’t really matter too much does it

The cough seems to be a swollen upper airway and that explains why it only occurs lying down, when your airway can become naturally restricted and you then feel like you’re choking.. cos you are Fortunately touch wood I feel a lot better today and have no symptoms of a chest infection but as this one seems to be the gift that keeps on giving I’m not counting my chickens!

They will still know the wait time for the consultant and the wait time for general surgery. Or they should.
-
Yep just at night, more like choking oddly enough. Amazing how long it can take to drink another cup of tea when you don’t want to face doing something isnt it
