Yawn ... wakey, wakey ...

Morning Shiney,Hope you have an enjoyable day in the big city and that you don't get flooded out with all this bad weather we are having

Hi Rosa,hope you are well.I have put the heating back on because it is that cold.It has now started raining again so that is it for the rest of the day.Enjoy yourself in all you do

 

Hi Rosa,I will go and have a look now,Ta

 

hi kandy, thought you might want to see the photo against my water colour.
looks like you are having the same weather as us have a great day anyway

 

morning shiney, have a nice day you must of typed in before reading my post

 

Thanks Rosa will do,though we have nothing planned because it is so wet.We went to Stratford upon Avon last Sunday and had a good day out though it was damp and there was squillions of people.I have just haerd on the news that it is flooded but not sure which part :eek:

 

kandy guess we are going to get some rain again across the country more floods expected, its awful for people everything getting ruined and having to start all over again, just terrible :eek: :(

 

and no money coming from anywhere apart from the tax payers pockets again.I shall think before I dip in my pocket next time overseas countries want relief money.Charity has to begin at home

 

kandy i quite agree with you we have enough disasters of our own in this country, anyway i always put money i our local lifeboat as its run purely by donations, they dont get any help from the government and all this dangerous work out in sea, they are volunteers themselves as they have their own jobs firefighters etc.local lads

 

Thank you Kandy, I think it went OK and I really really want the job so I am keeping fingers and toes crossed. They said I will hear towards the end of next week.

 

morning diziblonde, do hope you get the job and good luck

 

Morning (afternoon) Rosa and thankyou

 

Evening folk. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed, Dizi.

We had a lovely trip to Spain today. Having had a second worrying high-speed phone call from a guy at El Corte Ingles which we couldn't understand, we arrived for our order to be sitting at the cash register waiting for us! Then onward to the lighting department, where our order for the ceiling fixture was duly waiting. :eek: That's a bit like Portuguese service! Too quick for you to think about!

Got lots of other bargains as the department store is having an up to 50% off sale.

Wasn't so hot today either. Had our beach lunch then walked along the beach and back (well, part way as it's VERY long, Portuguese beach, that is) and I took lots of photos to go up tomorrow in Country Life.

Got caught up in a minor accident on the motorway on the way home. A medium sized delivery truck ran off onto the verge, hit a sign, careered across two lanes, hit the concrete barrier and skidded along on it's side. Don't know about injuries but possibly none. We were the car the cops stopped to allow the recovery vehicle out. Fortunately there were no vehicles / motorcycles following closely to be involved in the mishap.

I say motorcycles because it's the annual Algarve Motorcycle Club Meeting at Faro Island this weekend (a four day affair) and there are usually around 30,000 bikes attending from all over Europe and, boy, did we see some beauts on the road today. Joe Cocker is heading up the music festival.

So, hope you guys have had a good day and have a lovely evening and weekend.

PS Forgot to say, the ice making machine makes a tray of ice in 7-9-11 minutes (depending on the size you want), can make 18 kilos of ice a day, and costs 2c a hour to run.
