Isn't it so lovely to wake up to a Spanish blue sky and sunshine? The birds are also working overtime by singing to us. Two of them perch just outside our bedroom and chirp away.....who wants to lay in until seven am anyway....!!
In England late spring is a lovely time of the year as well. Everything starts turning green, especially the Tories, Labour, and Lib Dems in preparation for May the 2nd.
We holidayed in the spring in a tent once many, many, years ago. Have you noticed that it always rains on tents. Rain clouds will travel hundreds of miles through tortuous winds to find a tent that they can pour their water on. The weather forecasts aren't so accurate in the UK at this time of year, unlike Mexico where the forecast is always 'Chilli today and hot tamale'. Whereas in New York the weather is still so cold that 'flashers' just describe themselves. Of course one certain way to bring on the rain in the UK is for 'Mum' to hang out the washing.
If anyone is interested I have put the first book of the trilogy that was banned by 'wattpad' onto a book site called 'scribd'. The whole book is there, 422 pages. It's free to read, but bear in mind that it does describe scenes of both hetero and gay sex. They are there as part of the integral make up of the plot and not for titillation as such. To view it Google 'scribd' then put 'The Saturday Pledge' into the appropriate box to bring it up.
I have tried to put my book, that I wrote for my children and grandchildren, onto Kindle but they are having trouble with it as it contains coloured pictures and a story. I changed the format from pdf to Word but they still can't manage to publish it properly.....maybe I should remind them, there are NO sex scenes in the book....it's for children.
My wife nearly had a heart attack whilst out driving last week. Apparently a Spanish driver actually indicated in good time before turning. She said she might report him, but I told her not to as it was obviously a first offence, and probably would never be repeated. Our good friend Fiona is coming over to visit us and is going to rent a car. She's very 'canny' as befits a Scot. To save on mileage she says she's going to reverse everywhere. Last time she came my wife drove her everywhere. Once she said to my wife, who had just parked, "It's OK, we can walk to the kerb from here."
My son just paid a fortune to buy a personalised number plate. I told him it would have been cheaper to change his name....to something like B122MKT or whatever the registration plate was on the car he owned. Kids of today just never apply logic do they? Mind you he's not bright, he heard that most accidents happen within five miles of home, so he moved ten miles away. He has become a local councillor in the town where he lives, after a year into the job he now realises that the only people who really know how to run the country are cab drivers and male hairdressers.
When I heard that Arnold Schwarzenegger had been accused of groping six women I thought immediately that he was preparing to run for President of the USA.
Poor Ed Milliband, George Osborne and David Cameron, they can't help it......they were all born with a silver foot in their mouths.
