Share the love and all that. We got up this morning, kissed and hugged just like any ordinary day, then exchanged Hallmark cards full of exploding glitter. Millions of sparkly coloured dots stuck all over the floor, kitchen worktop, my flip flops, between my toes and the end of my nose. Dave escaped the worst…… Continue reading My Valentines Day So Far

Don’t get too excited, this blog post has nothing to do with the Kamasutra, so there´s no need to dig the game Twister out of a cupboard to use as an instruction manual. Last night I noticed how many variations the letter X has when used as a strike-thru. Everyone seems to have their own…… Continue reading X Rated Variations

As we innocently wandered into our local bar for quiz night, I noticed a “spaghetti western style” poster in the window. Curiosity set in. Blimey it was ME! Oh dear, I should never have stolen that beer mat… “TREVORRRRR!” {AKA MICK} “Yes Helen?” {AKA HEATHER} “What´s this,, lil old me, a piss taker??? I could…… Continue reading WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE

I´ve mentioned Trevor the comedian before, his real name is Mick. Setting confusion aside it´s all quite simple really, he insists on calling me Helen when I´m not a Helen. So there´s good reason to call him Trevor isn´t there? Yes it all makes perfect nonsense sense indeed. Decision made, he deserves a blog post…… Continue reading Trevor

When I was a kid the best 24 hours of every year spanned Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. December was a magical month too, the big build up full of fun. With lots of presents to pretend to be patient about, we all believed the tales we were told. Going above and beyond, by the…… Continue reading The Christmas Tree Of Life

In the days of yore, I missed out on being taught how to use an early abacus style computer by one year. The school I went to announced that next year´s intake of pupils would all be able to sit in front of an abacus computer and make it say hello to them. I was…… Continue reading Backwards Technology Is The Way To Go Forward

I’ve changed my “Site Identity,” well that’s what WordPress calls it. I call it a photo and a sentence. To this expert daft blogger, Site Identity somewhat refers to My Identity, and it just wasn’t right. This EX piece of Site Identity is quite correct: However, already achieved, I´m awake with eyes wide open and…… Continue reading You May Have Noticed An Update

After babbling on about “Bingo Bungles” last week and how I’ve never won anything but a bottle of drain cleaner. Our second Music Bingo night made the impossible possible. WOW! Would you believe it, I won 28 euros! {Can buy myself another handbag} My reaction was that of winning 2,800 euros. Very demure of course.…… Continue reading Mission Impossible Achieved

Yesterday we went to sort out the sound system saga. I have to say that MediaMarkt is much more efficient when refunding money, than they are when trying to save you money by stuffing a “bargain” in your face. Weird. No problem with the likes of clothes, shoes, HANDBAGS etc. Aside from an infestation of…… Continue reading Red Saturday To Sunday Best

So we went down to the HUGE shopping mall at La Zenia Boulevard yesterday. There were only about 20,000 people there, work it out, there´s parking for 5,000 cars. Oh, and they even call it “Black Friday” in Spain,, in English. Dave wanted a new jacket, and also to look at “sound bars” in MediaMarkt…… Continue reading From Black Friday To Red Saturday
