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

I can honestly say my last visit to a movie theatre was sometime in the mid 1990´s! We took “the kids” to see erm, I´ve forgotten what it was. Good name that for a film. Rating: “Only suitable for persons age 50+” Recommended viewing for those who regularly walk into a room and forget what…… Continue reading Potty Heather Is Now A Harry Potter Fan

When left unsupervised without any discipline. History: For some strange reason, back in April I wrote a featured article about my white lily plant which {at the time} resembled a triffid. This also led to another featured article about the totally weird cabbage lettuce sat nearby. I was hoping for a free salad. Present day:…… Continue reading This Is What Happens To A Triffid

The only time I´ve ever won at BINGO is when there were no prizes left, no word of a lie, I´ll post a link to that particularly bizarre situation later. But first, last night´s attempt to attain BINGO CELEBRITY STATUS, tantalisingly close as it was, turned out to be futile. Dave´s in RED, I´m in…… Continue reading Bingo Bungles

For obvious reasons they don’t do traditional Christmas trees here. However, because there’s millions of palm trees out and about, they get the full works instead. Poor things they must cringe at this time of year even though they look beautiful. “Lit up like a palm tree.” The other day I discovered what could be…… Continue reading The Electrified Christmas Tree

Out and about on our travels recently, we came across a bar with a very strange interior design. The walls were plastered with various eye catching objects, including eyeball popping signs. Interesting wall art indeed. The owner reckoned it was next year´s entry for “The alternative ideal bar exhibition.” A guitar on the wall between…… Continue reading Two Brits Went Into A Bar
