Couldn't see a class for Rednecks so there's little point me filling it in.

Hi Steve D! Lifes as it should be...No more, no less!

The weather turned shite for Easter as per the norm and the heating went back on and log fires were lit.....

The whole political edifice is corrupt from the top down....No one is working, none pay tax....The black economy rules.... The royalty is bent as....well, as bent as whatever....Crime is up, prices are up, wages are down or in some cases....Not there....Suicides are up, repatriations to the UK and other EU countries are at an all time high....Butano just went up, gasoil just went up....And the bast#rds in Lidles have just put the price of p-nuts up cos I buy so many to feed the birds....

Aside from that...All is hunky dory!

I think we have had 12 days of rain since September....The difference in day and night time temps have been vast but overall the heating and log fire were only in use for 10 weeks...Big difference eh?

I'm over the moon with this wee drop rain.
A decent heavy shower lasting a couple of hours once every ten days or so will do me nicely this time of year and save a fair bit of graft as well as an expensive water bill.

True. The drought's broken in Catalunya, we need all the water we can get. They have a nasty habit of turning off the water here late August.

On Topic.
I'm traditional working class with a villa on the Costa Brava.

You're lucky.
They normally turn mine off once a week, but usually for just a few hours or so.

I look up to you.
I'm just a lower class working peasant redneck sodbuster living in a broken down hovel with a bloody great hole in the roof.

No kidding, I've been waiting 3 weeks for the insurance co. to fix it and now it's pittling in again today.

Worst of it is that it keeps knocking the electrics out.

Don't let the ajuntamento catch you doing that. It's what, a trillion euro fine for not getting their permission to fart? ( let alone do something with cement, which is traceable ).
