Hot --- I´d say!

So far it has been 40+° each day. The hottest temp we recorded today in the car was 45.5°. It´s like facing a load of hairdryers on full blast. Right now it is still well into the 30´s and it is gone 9pm. Our airconditioning unit is not coping. It is still keeping us sub 30° but it just is no where near as cool as it normally is. The wind is really powerful and things are flying around all over the place. I am being lashed by a blind just writing this.

The forest fires are still raging away with two towns now evacuated. Thankfully we are not affected by it at all. Thanks to the way we arranged our days we just skirted around it. Had we decided to do our island tour today then we´d not have been able to as the places closed were vital and on the only practical route back home.

Palmitos Park didn´t have any butterflies which was just really odd.

Deej has pealed quite badly but the rest of us are doing OK. The poor kids can´t sleep very well because of the weather being so hot and both Daisy and Jonny are asleep in our bed right now.

Not heard anything from Matt at all, only what we have read on MySpace.

James is waiting on the PC so gonna sign off ... thanks to Martyn for the weather check ... I remembered today to check on gran-canaria-info.com (if that is right) like I normally do back home so know now we have one more day of this heat before it goes down (yeah, we think it sounds silly too) to 35° on Weds and a more manageable 29° on Thurs.

Love to all ... Hi Robin, hope all is well and you are being kept busy ... AND YOU ARE EATING.

Hi Nick, hope you enjoyed your London trip.

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...

Hmm, life has this way of bringing about changes

Past couple of weeks we have had Adam take over as Zoey’s PA and an excellent job he is making of it, better already than anyone else before him but then, I knew he would be and he was, after all, my first choice when I was first able to get a PA for her, he just wasn’t available! Nearly a week ago now our Danny turned up rather early! He’s doing fine though and a healthy 8lbs 7oz. I am not sure just which way round it is but suspect that each time I look at Sean I see Danny! Daisy is boob feeding and managing really well though, somehow I can’t help but wonder how the hell she’s managing to stay awake? I am a very lucky guy to now have 4 wonderful grandchildren and so need a picture of them all together, one day, when they are all that much older, I’d love to do a trip with  them all to Disney, it’ll be totally magical to see their faces light up! Perhaps I need to buy more lottery tickets? Maybe I should stop buying lottery tickets? Adam has been add...
