Another entry today after last night’s sunset -see back Another day at C26 - could be more - not a cloud in the sky - and just had lunch of gazpacho soup, and a mixture of breads with cheese, boq...

Sunset

When we arrived we found our Spanish tv (no Sky etc for us) had no signal. First of all a panic that the communal aerial was not working. Then overnight I thought - hey, let’s try retuning the st...

---

At last we have the internet! The provider we use is not open at the weekends to book so first chance on Monday here I am. The sunshine is as predicted - 26C - and I am sitting on the patio in t...

---

So, tomorrow we fly off for two weeks in Spain - we have a two bedroom apartment which the kids use in the summer months so we are going out to check all is well - and get some sunshine - at the ...

In my early days at school when we made a mistake writing with a pencil we used a rubber to rub it out. The cry was - anyone got a rubber - if you had not got one of your own - and you normally t...

---

This is a week for jobs to be done before we fly to Spain for a couple of weeks. Yesterday it was the turn of the plumber to come and sort out what appeared to be a leak in the down stairs toilet...

---

And here is my meal from last night I had no mushrooms so I added chickpeas which were delicious - as was the glass of wine. I watched the Eurovision Song Contest on and off - and the results we...

---

For a change I am writing this at 7 pm on a Saturday - SW… has gone out to a golf dinner and I have the evening to myself. The Eurovision Song Contest beckons - not! Normally when she goes out li...

---

There is something really liberating about having a good walk. Today the group (17) was in one of the forests which offers lots of different pathways - and you do need to have a leader who has ch...

---

A day away yesterday - taking in another live concert - and meeting up with an old colleague and his wife for lunch - or, that is what they thought? SW.. was in charge of arrangements and when I ...

---

While we are getting sunshine, showers and a brisk wind with temperatures around C13 - in Spain they are in the low C30s and sometimes higher - why are we here? Actually those kind of temperature...

---

I have been looking through my Photofuckit album and finding all kinds of gems that I think I may have put up on OD. It seems so long ago that I thought I would bring a few out here - for instanc...

---

Taking advantage of the dry weather I thought it would be a good time to mow the lawn - and had just about finished when the grassbox fell off the back - with the cover. Goodness knows how the co...

---

This is the first time for a couple of days I have been able to sit down and write an entry - not that I have been doing anything very exciting - just the usual Monday and Tuesday walking groups ...

---

We wallowed in nostalgia last night. For two hours the BBC broadcast the live concert from London celebrating/commemorating VE Day in 1945. It reiterated, once again, the course of the 1939-1945 ...

---

Well, not in terms of politics here. All the main ministers are back in place as if nothing has happened - but now the Tories can carry through all the legislation they could not get through when...

---

I wrote this yesterday ‘I suspect to drown our sorrows - the man with the condom on his head may return’ And I was right - not only back - but with a majority as Labour did not do well - and the ...

---

I have voted - my vote will not make a difference to the great scheme of things - but I have made my choice - and made a kind of statement. Also I have walked in the forest in the sunshine which ...

---

I mentioned the three hour film by Frederick Wiseman on the National Gallery in London with no commentary or music - just soundtrack of what was going on. We are starting to watch it in chunks a...

---

I am pretty sure there are only a few (if any) people on here who know much about snooker - lots of coloured balls - lots of skill required to move the cue balls around to score points. Anyway - ...

---

EDIT Ignore the first two paras - as I wrote them it was announced - Charlotte Elizabeth Diana - Excellent - keeps everyone happy! Still waiting here for the names of the new princess - apparent...

---

Of course the coverage for the new addition to the Royal Family has been over the top - special supplements in the Sunday papers with lots of old pics - and not much else to say - still there is ...

---

As I write the Duchess of Cambridge is in labour. We are being told that every five minutes on the news media - already the party leaders have said they are excited - and the cameras are pointed ...
