Poor Pod

Sadly earlier on today the buckle on one side of the pod backpack snapped. It is still useable but not entirely safe anymore and is prone to arm scratching. I may have to switch to my other back pack if I go out for any time later on.

The temp today did manage 22°C but it was still quite windy and that chill was in the air. I was bad earlier and had pie and chips, not exactly very Spanish and for tea I had ham and cheese sanwiches which I made myself but at least they were all local sourced so I can attempt a claim at eating local produce!

Its just past midnight at the Los Almendros and the place is dead, not a soul about, they are probably all off clubbing at the Yumbo, I am very much thinking of bed.

Jim and I did the Yumbo earlier, he wanted to buy some towels for home and a new memory card for his camera, how exciting is that! To top it all we went in Spar and bought some groceries. Came back to the apartments, I did my sandwiches and he transferred todays pictures he had taken on to the laptop for safe keeping. We spoke for a while about his lot at home then he went back to his apartment for sleep around 10.40 I guess.

So, off to bed it is for me and I don't mind that in the least, probably doing me the world of good and I am also drinking loads of fruit juice too so hopefully this cold should clear just in time for the flight home. We get picked up from here around 2 or 3 pm on Monday I think it is ... will check more on Sunday.

You Bloody Idiot

I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

There are some funny people in this world!

Earlier on this year someone added me on Facebook. Quite soon she was adding many people I knew. We were starting to wonder who this was as there was so little on her profile. To be on the safe side and, suspecting it may be someone pretending to be someone else, I was careful what I wrote to them. Eventually, it did become very obvious it was someone faking a profile. I challenged them to stay if they wanted but, today they deleted the profile. I have never done anything to upset this person, I just exist. She added me and my family just to take the piss out of us and to try and get extra ammunition to use against my friends, it is all rather sad. Speaking of sad … Look, I fully understand that James has issues, what they are, I don’t have a clue but he has them and it is for Daisy and him to sort out. I think Daisy would have liked to sort it out between them but, it seems, they are going to have to take the legal route. I totally get all that. I don’t like it but – such is life....
