Grimebusters and Other Bad Things

I really love that programme and watch it every Tuesday evening. Down sewers, in manky houses and cleaning muck from the streets. Thankfully, television hasn't found a link to smell or it would be a no-go or a bathroom visit for me!

A new one turned up tonight (programme that is)......parasitologists. All these things that hide in folks' skin whilst on holiday in exotic countries. Worms in legs and various other parts of the body as well as one poor lady who has one growing in her head.

I found it well interesting but 'im indoors could hardly bear to look. He had the same reaction when I watched the film 'Fly' and I've been banned from watching the follow up!

Windows 7

I've had this computer for over eighteen months and have had nothing but trouble with it. Being rather stupid I asked a mate of a mate to check it out and he installed Windows XP. It was even worse than Vista.

I was at screaming pitch by the end of last week and we took it back to the shop from whence it came. The nice man refused to re-install Vista as he said it was 'muy mal' even though he put it there in the first place!

More memory and Windows 7, all for seventy-five euros and legal. Two hours in and I'm still finding my way around it but it looks pretty good so far.

A Lovely Day

We went off on an away day with Liz and Lyndsay yesterday. First stop, Eldon House in Paraiso where we met up with a few folk that we hadn't seen for ages. Second stop, The Red Lion in Callao Salvaje where the same sort of thing happened. Strangely enough someone paid for our round of drinks...............no idea who but thanks!

Back to Playa San Juan and Bar Antonio where we decided to eat. Perfect service as usual.

They have two weeks left of their holiday and are moving down to the south next Friday which will mean that we can see a little more of them. Looking forward to it!

Scary Doings

I've pinched this pic from my eldest grandaughter's Facebook page as I think it's brilliant.

There she is on the left with her mate Mollymae. I reckon her six year-old sister, Maisie, will be traumatised for life after all that!

I trust they got sweeties as I'm sure I would have slammed my door in their faces!

Cornwall in October

I had such a wonderful week with my family in Cornwall. It passed by far too quickly but being able to see my daughter and her children along with my brother and his family made it so special.

We had a pasty each in Polperro. Look at that motley crew!

I did so much in one short week. Matalan, Trago Mills and KFC! We walked for miles along the beach. Had a few beers in the Smugglers Inn...........went to Baz's birthday party, had a Cornish Cream Tea and I spent some quality time with my grandchildren and nephews.

My brother, Ray, wants to do it all again next year. I'm up for that!
