Nice. Especially if you like sherry style drinks.
A couple of pints of madeira and you'll be well away.
Asleep on a sun lounger and toasted to the brightest red of a scotchman in the sun in approximately 10 minutes.
I assume you haven't managed to wangle a work expedition there to see if you should replace Dundee cake with Madeira cake with the afternoon refreshments.
I've been to Tenerife which is further south according to Google maps.
The furthest south I have been is Boca Raton which is 26.22 degrees north That is 30% of the way to the north pole, so apparently approximately 2/3 of the oblate spheroid lies further south than i have ever been

Morning
Dropped the car off at the garage this morning for service, MOT and new tyre. The walk back was bracing. I'm sure everything will be ok..
No games.
Coincidentally, we are having bangers, mash, carrots, tender-stem broccoli and aunt Bessies Yorkies for tea. Pumped.
OTTM, Mexicans are the best. I've always said it.

So I teach English as a foreign language online. I've recently got a bunch more clients (good) but the increased numbers have made me very busy of late (bad). I've got cohorts in Taiwan and Central & South America now, so I'm busy morning and night, eases off a bit in the afternoons. I'm getting more control over timetabling my lessons next week so hopefully I can get things more manageable soon. That said, sometimes it doesn't feel like work. When the students reach level 10 I can run conversation groups alongside normal lessons, which is how I found myself explaining the rules of cricket for 2 hours to a group of Mexican strip-miners. They also lost their shit when they found out I was from Manchester, not because of football, but because of Morrissey. I had no idea he was so popular in Mexico, all 6 of the lads professed to be fans. I've been tasked to take a selfie by the Salford Lad's Club sign by next week, and they've got to play a game of cricket. Good fun They like The Smiths? I assume this means you will automatically fail them all? |

Almost everyone in our hotel seems to be British and retired, so there is an added colonial feel which makes it even better. Sadly not a work freebie but a holiday which we have been saving 3 years for, so it fucking better be good. |

Good afternoon, rat-fans.
Second day off work, and awaiting a call from VW to say my car is ready. It’s an hour’s drive, so it better be ruddy soon.
TVblog: more X Files. Watched the one where we see some of the Smoking Man’s pst accomplishments.
4*
Filmblog: Everything Everywhere All at Once. What. A. Film. Simply brilliant.
All the stars.

Egg Mayonnaise sandwich, followed by a terrible joke based on a typo. The perfect lunch.

My neighbour is outside giving the workmen grief for being loud and warning them not to leave a mess.
As she should.
