well it's been stinking hot whilst you've been gone - I had a serious attack of sunstroke and third degree burns - thank goodness it's cooled off a bit :-D

In the words of the song

It is nice to go travelling but it is so much nicer to come home.

At least I think those are the words of a song.

Had a lovely time, the weather was mixed, a couple of weeks of hot sun and blue skies and a couple more mixed with some cloudy days and some cloudy, windy with patches of sun. However it was warmer than here and we had some nice meals out.

Wendy, our host, was very kind and took us to the shopping centre and also dropped us down in Puerto when she was going down. We also went with Wendy to the quiz run by an English group which was fun, had a good meal there too. And Wendy had a barbecue type evening when it was lovely to eat outside in the evening sun.

Our bed broke and OH fixed it ( no, not the springs!!! The bolt in the folding mechanism) And OH's garden lounger chair broke but he fixed that too.

Well we finally got home at 6am this morning, went to bed for 3.5 hours and now feel jet lagged. Have done our grocery shop though and a wash load, but not unpacked.

The flight was delayed over four hours because the aircraft had a technical problem at Gatwick (BA). We did have 12 euros worth of vouchers each which is something. then it took 15 minutes to get the covered walk way so that was a very long day. Then we had to drive the long way home via M25 and Oxford because the M4 was shut between junctions 13 and 14. Oh and OH pulled his calf muscle as we were getting off the plane, luckily the left one so a good job we have an automatic. And the young woman next to me (We were not able to sit together but I was behind OH both in window seats.) was travel sick three hours into the very smooth flight which was off putting, although obviously not something she would do on purpose.

Anyway back to the unpacking. Good to be back on here, the IPad is very useful but Genes seems to take for ever to download onto it. :-)
