Bi till later :lol:

OK
Just got back from dinner
Restaurant owner German and wants to make good impression
Half pint gin and tonic as aperatif
I cant remember meal
Fell over a stray dog walking back and nearly plummeted to my death over edge of mountain
Couldn't pay for meal as when offering credit card he said that Telefonica are Shista (he's german), so have to go back for a lunch time drink tomorrow to pay for tonights meal

I dont feel well and will shortly be dparting for bed ..... but hell .... it still smells nice around here :rofl:

I returned last night from short hol in Italy, flew in to Sevilla airport and the aroma of orange blossom hit me as soon as I got off the plane and stayed with me the whole way back back down the Mway, driving along with my head out the window, inhaling deeply...

Also I don't know if you have ever picked an orange straight off the tree and eaten it, but they really are fantastic to taste.

Just thought I'd share that, as its one of the really nice things about this area at this time of year.

Have you been on the acid again??

Genegenie you are right. Lancashire is a beautiful county, lush and green. The countryside is a joy to drive around. When we get a nice sunny day (doesn`t matter if cold) then I wouldn`t swap it. xx

I'd take it over the UK any day.

I think the German probably said it was scheiss. :eek:

Hmmm. 300+ days of sun a year versus 300+ days of clouds. Let me think about it for a nanosecond.

Nope, still prefer Spain.

How right you are...but if I had, I would surely have pointed my Grooster shotgun at him and threatened to beat him "senseless in Seville"...
