Title: Holiday.
Post by: Roger Kettle on May 13, 2023, 09:24:41 AM: My wife and I are off for a week's break tomorrow. Our plane leaves at 6.45 a.m., which sounds reasonable until you remember you have to be at the airport two hours before it departs. Add on another hour and a quarter to GET to the airport and you realise you'll be getting up at 2.30 in the morning. I hope to be asleep before the plane's wheels are up.
I'm looking forward to the break as it's been a difficult few months with far too many funerals to attend and a bout of Covid thrown in. That first cold beer in the evening sunshine will taste very nice indeed!
Be good.

Where are you off to?
Portugal. Home now after a very pleasant week of swimming in the sunshine. I now have the tanned, toned body of a Greek god.
Ahem.

Post by: Tarquin Thunderthighs lll on May 22, 2023, 02:08:22 PM: Eusebio. That's it, I think. Maybe Ronaldo.

And Roger...

You kidnapped someone from Portugal?

Out of interest, did you holiday in Albufeira?

Post by: Roger Kettle on May 23, 2023, 07:41:31 PM: In nearby Sao Rafael. It's been a regular haunt over the years and much quieter than its noisy neighbour!

Post by: Roger Kettle on May 26, 2023, 09:52:20 AM: I haven't, Diane. Going to Gibraltar would require a bit of effort on my part---not something I'm renowned for.
