I learnt... in blackpropaganda

a new word today - basoexia - sums me up!


Two more pictures - one of the houses opposite us in the evening sunshine - and then the causeway we ride down on the bikes until we get to the windmill in the last entry. I like this one since i...


Given the range of weather we are getting every day I just wondered if there will be a plague of frogs soon - God seems to be throwing the kitchen sink. It must be time to put up some pics of the...

We are home from Spain to wintry weather - and it could get a lot worse - and to think yesterday we were on a beach in C17!!. Still, now I am back here is something I promised - the video (24 sec...


A little cloudy today - but pleasant enough for us to sit outside at the restaurant at lunchtime and enjoy between us a potato tortilla, tomato,tuna and olive salad and a large plate of chiperone...


This may seem repetitive but clear blue sky here, at 2 pm it was C23, and I am writing this outside at 4.15 pm. We used the car today to the great place near La Manga called Cabo De Palos. It has...


What a joy to be here in Spain when I hear about the weather in the UK. You can see why ex pats winter here when it is C18 in the sunshine. The pics I have taken still have to wait until I get ba...


No entry yesterday since we took the bus to Murcia City go meet up with a Spanish student who we met on the plane back from Spain two years ago. She was coming to the UK to study English for a se...

Kings and thighs in blackpropaganda

New Year's Day in blackpropaganda

I managed to get my best wishes for the New Year in while PB was on and off yesterday - so it is good to see it has settled down again - I thought it might be a case of the OD syndrome. Many than...


Just a quick note while PB is back to wish everyone a Happy New Year - and just a little something to keep you going (as the bishop said to the actress....)
