Funny you should say that because the other night my OH commented that whenever he looked across the room all he sees is a black box (laptop) as he's forgotton what I look like he's decided to call me Compaq 
He often asks what's happening in Lah Lah land and doesn't believe me when I say nothing as he can hear me typing away

Oh, you have to feed these men of ours, do you ?  Mine rarely says "are we eating today". If I've not plonked something on a tray, he does without as he's incapable of toasting some bread & opening a can of beans ! We tend to meet on our stairs. He is watching TV downstairs while I''m upstairs on the PC & then if Corrie/Eastenders/Corrie's on we swap over. Retirement works well, better than I thought it might. i thought we'd be under each others feet 24/7. 
Today he's happy, as am I as I don't have to cook.  Had a super 8oz gammon steak, (OH had two fried eggs, I had four slices of pineapple) chunky chips, garden peas & half a tomato each sitting looking at what's left of Weston pier. It was a BOGOF offer Mon - Fri 12 - 3 for the "over 55's". Great to be old. 
TJ Hughes were selling off mens longer shorts with lots of heavy duty nylon zips on pockets so OH bought two pairs, beige & navy. £5 each. 
A guy called TIM PITMAN was singing in the grounds of The Royal hotel on the front & it was great. What a brilliant tenor. He took requests & sang You Raise Me Up which made my flesh creep, it was so beautiful. Really great guy, in aid of British Legion it was. TIM SINGS NESSUN DORMA

As you have no TV in Spain if you've lost Telmicro here's a time waster..
This is for those that have nothing better to do!!
This will drive you crazy !
When you open this web page, a ball on a string will be dangling
from your cursor.
Now move the cursor around and the ball also moves. Flip the ball around
and see if you can click on it.
If you do, the ball will change colour!

Rained on & off all day, abbbb.
I fancied going to seafront again for more people watching too.
We've spent Christmas & New Year for the last three years in Spain & are going there again this year. Two years ago we spent four nights over Christmas in a hotel in Spain which was good.

Not possible to spend Xmas in Spain at the moment - this thing called family!! Too many of them to take over to our place!
We made the mistake of going to Spain immediately after Xmas, two years ago, and of course, everywhere was booked up!! I was looking forward to spending New Year there .... same story! I wish that we had taken some business phone numbers home with us on the previous visit! Spent the time hearing everyone saying what a wonderful night they had had at ...............whereever!! Grrrrr.  Our own fault! Must have been the same time that you were having a great time in that hotel, Our community is very quiet over this period - a lot of the residents go "home" to see their families.
The hotel idea seems a nice one - any recommendations, More?
Clacton and the pier are bustling at the moment. However, there are many frustrated drivers, driving around in circles since much of it was pedestrianised. The council forgot about extra parking! One of the features that the council put in the middle of this pedestrianisation were fountaints that rise up from the pavement at set times. Cost £150,000 to install; £15,000 to maintain pa, and the kids have found that they can easily be knocked out by using liquid soap!!

Abbbb, we booked a coach trip from Rosas tours by petrol station, Quesada & needed to book by September (2006) as last year we left it too late in November & all booked for their trips. We went to Poseidon Palace behind old town. I personally enjoyed it (no cooking) but rooms really needed some heat during day & rads were only put on evenings &, as we wanted baths before dinner, it wasn't very comfy. Took a while for heat to get into rooms then it was too hot so we had to open patio door & curtains blew around as we were high up & it was breezy. (Couldn't quite get it right).
Karensun went with a group she belongs to last Christmas to hotel Venus in Benidorm & said it was pretty ok. Think she said hotel was very hot. Said food was good. Look on trip Advisor for reviews.
Last year I decided to buy a frozen turkey boneless crown joint stuffed with cranberries & apricots from Aldi as I've had these for years. 2.5kg for £9.99, beautiful. I put streaky bacon over it &, once cooked, I sliced it & freezed it in bags of six slices. I did that the week before going to Spain Dec 18th last year. I also cooked gammon & bagged some up. I have a small freezer bag which is just big enough for sarnies for two plus two cans & I used that to transport gammon slices & turkey slices in suitcase. I put a few slimline freezer blocks around sides, top & bottom & in middle. Our key holder had put the freezer on so it was out of case & into freezer.
We spent time with friends Christmas morning having coffee with them & their friends at our friends home in La Marina then we all went to the beach at La Marina with bottles of cold Cava. There were thousands on the beach, it was a red hot day. Some were BBQing, wonderful smells everywhere. OH only had a mouthful of Cava as he was driving soI had a lot though I shared it too.  Back home I had a brand new steamer I'd never used so I had no idea what to do with regards to layering it up & it wasn't like my Tefal turbo one here, which doesn't take long. I peeled spuds & carrots & we had frozen brussels. Eventually I took bigger spuds out of steamer & roasted these in frypan. Meat was cooked so I just did some chicken gravy, made up a pkt of bread sauce, opened cranberry sauce jar & we had a superb meal around 4.30pm. No fuss & I floated through the afternoon.  Karen will tell you she rang me when we were on the beach & I couldn't hear her well but I recall saying I was having a good time & was a little drunk. She kid me for ages afterwards as to what I said.
Christmas is so over rated, we just enjoy whatever we do, it's just another day.

I had this from abbbb by email so thought I'd paste it here. (Can't reduce text size, sorry).
Girlie Wisdom!
Women over 50 don't have babies because they would put them down and forget where they left them.
A friend of mine confused her Valium with her birth control pills... she has 14 kids but doesn't really care.
One of life's mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a woman gain 5 lbs.
My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
The best way to forget your troubles is to wear tight shoes.
The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you are doing, someone else does.
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends.
Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.
Sometimes I think I understand everything, and then I regain consciousness.
I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and setting fire to my knicker's.
Amazing! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrin ks 2 sizes!
Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like...'You know sometimes I forget to eat!' ......Now I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name and my keys, but I have never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat!
The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing and then they marry him.
I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day!
