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.

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....
