Saturday 19th , Marjal adios?

Well as all the Easy Jet flights, except ours, have been cancelled, it's still a bit dicey as they may cancel ours an hour before we leave. The flight departures at Alicante airport is still showing EZY 6886 as departing on time at 9:20 pm. Gatwick is showing as cold but sunny at the moment so if all goes well we get in at 11:20 pm. As the temperature over here has dropped to 6°C, and raining, perhaps the cold shock when we get there will not be too severe.

Funny weather lately, 2 days of 20°C, followed by 3 days of dull cold and raining.

So, yesterday I was again tricked in Christmas shopping on the pretence of going into Torrevieja for a bolt for the front door. All the shops that were shut the last time were now fully 360°, open. We managed to find the same underground parking as previous but also found on leaving that the charges had gone up about a 1,000%. Anyway, got the bolt for €1 at a Asian bazaar and then the sucker punch. “Why don't we just have a look in that very large store over there?”
Thank God I had only €200 on me and no credit cards. Mind you I did not have anything 3 hours later and you could not have peeled that contented look off her face with anything short of rubbing alcohol and bleach. Thank heavens that I had enough change in the car for the parking.

We watched the final episode of the West Wing, the other night and all in all have enjoyed much of it, we did watch 1 disk twice, out of sequence, but did not notice it at the time. Next year we start on “The Saprano's” of which neither of us ever watched at the time of broadcasting. Then the whole series of “Yes, Minister/Prime Minister”, followed by “Prison Break”, so no lack of viewing there. We are presently eating everything that is left.
