It's a scandal in blackpropaganda

Weather? The same If anything a bit hot and would be oppressive without the breeze. With heat and creepiness (that is breeziness - predictive text ugh ) we took the car to the market this morning...


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...

Last night in blackpropaganda

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...

Hola in blackpropaganda

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 ...

New broom... in blackpropaganda

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 ...
