Hi Janice
Thought I would say hello.... pub sounds great. I lived in Weston-Super-Mare for a while. I worked at a private health club as a gym instructor (cant remember what its called) it was about 11years ago now. I wonder if its still going. I rented a room in someones house which was weird but it was the first time I left home!! I thought Weston was a lovely place.
Well must back get to colouring in with my little one, we've done the peppa pig puzzle now its felt tip time!!
Have a great time in Spain

Hi,
I was in the UK a couple of weeks ago, took one of my daughters out for a drink.
I had a white wine and soda, Charlie had a vodka and something. I nearly fell through the floor
when the bar maid asked me for £6.20.
'£6.20, are you mad'
'Mother do clam down, thats what it costs here'
You can have a 3 corse meal with wine in our village for that.
Hay ho, I'm off to read my book in the sun shine. One benefit of living in a building site, not much house work do!
Dusting? all I can do is shuffle it around a bit!
Have fun where ever you are.
Regards,
Fiona

Good Girl,
Tell me, when was the last time she used the iron?
I only ask because I was having a natter with few of the mums outside school yesterday (Spanish and English) and it turns out that most of us
do the 'smoothing' instead! (this involves smoothing out (usualy on the bed)and then folding very nicely))
I've lived in Spain for 7 months now and have used the iron once. That was to glue a finishing strip to a shelf edge!
There's just so many ways to aviod housework.
And why bother in the first place? It's a never ending job. If you have children, while you are busy cleaning up one bit, they are busy messing up
another!
The plates we eat from are spotless, the food we eat is fresh and (though I say it myself) well prepared. Our cloths see the inside of the washing machine
on a regular basis, the shower sees us on a regular basis.
So what if the floor's a bit dusty, and when the sun shines it looks like I've got net curtains up! I'm not expecting HRH The Queen for supper. However IF a large
black Rolls flying the Union Jack to come up the track, I'd have the place sparkling before it parked! (All hell breaking loose of corse!)
Take care, don't work harder than you need to.
Febe.

Uses the iron regularly - normally to smack me round the head when a frying pan isnt close to hand. Sometimes my wrinkles need a bit of smoothing out too. Doesnt iron my thongs but most things get done - not bedding of course as it normally dries so quickly with the right weather and then gets smoothed on the bed - by the time I have been in the bed for 5 minutes it wouldnt matter whether it was ironed or not - but she does do my shirts - such a fussy old git I am you see

Ironing thongs!
I should hope not......unless it's done in situ!...............great balls of fire............burning bush, and all that!
I'm more of a 'Bridget Jones' girl my-self.
But I do have to admit that I miss smooth sheets....................mmmmmmmm Marmite!

Ironing! I remember my first six months here... working from home so spent all my time in bikini, showered by the pool, several times a day! put on a t shirt and shorts to pop to the village or pub!
Unfortunately I work in an office now so have to iron my work clothes! although will admit I don´t wash them too often, bit of febreze and hung outside to air will see them through a couple of days!
This weekend I went to a bull "fight" more dodging than fighting, has a technical spanish name but can´t remember it now, I started with a bocadillo of tortilla con patata and a cerveza (at 10am, how spanish I´m becoming!) then sat in the baking sun for 2 hours watching an amazing display in the plaza de toros ( another cerveza in hand!).
I got thinking to myself " surely soon this holiday style lifestyle is going to have to stop!" but then I thought... " I work long hard hours all week so can do what ever I like at weekends and its certainly is going to be a holiday lifestyle! How great life here in Valencia is. Now we have Fallas too, can´t wait for Friday!

This is a picture of the Burj Dubai (which apparently when it's finished will be the tallest building in the world - until another one is built higher!!), It's currently at 110 floors and about 50 more to go!!
I took this from my villa - it is approx. 2kms away. Just thought you might be interested to see that the haze you see isn't fog or anything, it's sand!! There was a bit of a sand storm earlier today, with high winds, and my husband and I played golf in it!! And this was a mild one!!
I was absolutely covered, head to toe, in find sand!! And that wasn't just from trying to get the ball out of the bunkers!! But I was happy as I managed to par three holes at least!!
My "happy" contribution for the day!

And, by the way, it was about 35°c too!! And we still go out and fight with the fairways!!!
At least in summer, when it's about 45c, it's half the price!!

Morning Janice!
Very bad shamal (sand storm) blowing here today! Can't even see the Burj Dubai from my window now. Thunderstorms forecast too!
Who'd think you'd be strolling along the prom with an ice cream in March in Weston and we'd be sitting indoors, hubby and son watching a movie, and me at the computer in Dubai!! (for a change!!)
Maybe we should have gone skiing at Ski Dubai and really made it strange!!

Morning all!
Well, the sun is trying desperately to cut through the clouds here, but at least the wind has dropped and I have swept up all the sand that crept in under my door!!
So we're out for a nice lunch somewhere to make the best of the rest of our weekend before going back to school/work tomorrow!!
Think it could be the Irish Village today (only appropriate!) - for some good Irish food, washed down with some good Irish beverage!!
Have a happy day!!
