Makes me wonder if anyone has ever composed a blog post title like that before. Ah well, there´s a first time for everything.Note, for anyone of a delicate disposition please do not continue reading any further. Over the past couple of days I´ve become best friends with the toilet bowl. A brief, (excuse pun) amount…… Continue reading A blog post from the toilet
The underling of Waitrose International is “Iceland” no not the country, it´s a supermarket that sells overpriced frozen food with a hint of carboard taste. There´s other “not frozen” things there, so being as it´s the nearest shop to us it comes in handy for the likes of milk, bread, booze, and cleaning products.Safety: As…… Continue reading Waitrose International, safety VS irresponsibility
There´s an old saying “it could only happen in America” which usually refers to something oddly humorous. Here´s a list of what we discovered ourselves while there for three months.TV shows with adverts bunged together that seemed to last longer than what you´re watching. (It was before the days of IPTV).Chemists selling ice cream, fizzy…… Continue reading God Bless America
What an utter, absolute shambles they´ve made of opening borders in Europe. I suppose we´re in a “test case” scenario here, but the odds are stacked high since June 21st, and by “high” the biggest pickle is air travel. There´s still hot spot zones within most countries to avoid, some bigger than others.As I write…… Continue reading Opening up in the Schengen Zone
We´ve only been in “Phase 3” (eased restrictions) for 10 years 2weeks tops. But Spain “opened up” yesterday, so what happened to Phase 4? I mean we were supposed to get there first, perhaps it got deleted. No wait, it did.Us natives think it´s too soon, but to be fair the Spanish government have set…… Continue reading This is weird
A few months ago I wrote about us moving house, somewhere further inland. What you get for your money is astonishing. Just 180,000 euros for a big villa with swimming pool, situated at the foot of the mountains. Most of the ones we liked were in a place called Fortuna. So we went there and…… Continue reading A change of heart, mind and soul
Opticians are open now, so sometime last week I walked in with my dead pair of jigsaw glasses. Don´t ask me what day it was, or even which time zone we´re in.First of all, the place was devoid of humans except the little guy stood at the desk, he was pretending to do something important…… Continue reading Oh I see
Some of the things not happening here used to be legal necessities in the olden times, but life has changed. Spain loves it´s paperwork, believe me, you can´t go to the toilet for a poo without filling in a form of declaration.Moving on (excuse puny pun) to more important things, car tax has flown out…… Continue reading Illegal but legal
During the past however many months of quarantine we´re at, farts have become a major source of humour within this household. We´ve even got a competition going on, including names for each variety. From 10 up to 1 ? Here´s what we´ve shared and learned:Pip farts are fairly quiet and last for about a second,…… Continue reading About Farts
No not that kind of naughty thing, I can see where your mind´s going here, but there´s no wardrobes involved so stop right there.The naughty thing:Remember what I´ve said about flouted lockdown rules in bars, and how we wouldn´t go in one for that reason?Yesterday we went shopping and noticed our friends were sat outside…… Continue reading We did a naughty thing
