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.

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...

Oh dear

The good news is that it could possibly be Jermaine will be moved into his lovely new flat within 6 weeks. Matt is another story. His apology earlier was rather pathetic. He's still not really said sorry to either Daisy or Deej and, indeed, seems to think saying sorry to anyone is more important than being with his mates. He has a set of rules now, in writing and he's been told that if he deviates from it just once he best have somewhere else to live. We shall see. I don't hold out much hope but there is still a little inside of me, I need to believe there is good in him ... for now. Car - still not sold Looked at Nick's new place the other day. It's small but not so much as I feared it may be and could be made to look real nice with a little effort and thought. I know how I'd do it but it's up to Nick how he does it and I am looking forward to seeing the end result. Loads of work still to do at Robin's of course but at least he is up and running again o...
