Such a Surprise

We had a walk down to the bar this afternoon hoping to enjoy the enthusiasm of the Spanish folk cheering on their football team. It didn´t get off the ground and I ended up reading my book.

They all wandered home quietly, no car horns, no fireworks and I feel quite sad for them. Mind you they did find it quite funny last weekend when they teased us for our draw but I didn´t think it appropriate to return the favour.

One point is better than nothing and we´ll see what happens next!

Ummm?

We've just had a rare night out. Neil and Tina cooked a massive Indian meal at bar El Corral, a small Spanish place at the end of our road. It was really lovely and we both enjoyed it.

I´m quite cheerful at the moment. A new mobile, good internet and my Windows 7 is sorted. Time to be more upbeat I think.

Shona arrives on Friday which means that I have a little holiday and I´ve found a breakfast place for us. It´s time for a bit of fun!

Moaning Minnie

I´ve just been looking back at my blog and I reckon that it needs a name change as all I seem to do is moan!

I hate this retirement thing as there is nothing else to do so I´m turning into the female equivalent of Victor Meldrew. I can so see his point!

The things I wish for: a good internet, a good television signal, a good service at the mobile shop and what do I get? An absolute mess.

Ok, point by point. Internet off for over twenty-four hours. I spoke to a really nice man who talked me through a new set up. Lovely, internet on, increased speed and was I a happy bunny? Yes, until an hour ago when my computer decided that I had an illegal copy of Windows 7. What on earth do I do about that? The man in the computer shop gave me a number but where do I put it? Goodness knows but the thought of a month without my computer whilst the World Cup is on gives me the shivers.

Next..........television signal. Totally illegal I know but not having any alternative I use it. This German chap runs it and I´m sure he hates women and Coronation Street. Every time I get settled to watch it we lose the signal. I missed loads tonight but it´s happily working now. I bet it never even flickers during the World Cup. I could cheerfully ring his neck.

I´ve decided to shelve the mobile shop as I´m far too grumpy to even go there. Best I go to bed, at least I have a decent book!
