Thanks P, it has been awful but no permanent damage, we are quite high up so get the worst of the wind but no flooding

bib oh that's good!
i quite enjoyed the quiet
no telly no computer....just lots of candles and read my book!!!
oh and i have a camping stove with calor gaz! so i had tea and cheesey omlettes!
as long as i have tea i'm ok i will admit to missing crumpets though

Anyhow, here we are in lovely Lanzarote (25 degrees and blue skies) thank you An for getting us all in *scrubs vomity cabin bags* night you lot x

bless you for doing the clean up
sleep welll save me a sun lounger in the mmorning

Come on over to virtual Lanzarote, it is gorgeous xx

Eta see you are already here! Night and gods bless all x

Morning campers! *runs to put towels on loungers for all before the Germans get there*

hope you've got plenty of sunblock if you've been out there all day!

About time someone showed up!! I've had a grand time loafing about on the lounger, having swims, and drinking cocktails

Not had chance to start on Vikings yet, been toiling away all day. Why can't stuff do itself??? Good news on our little kitten with a heart murmur....took him to the heart specialist and it's not as serious as first thought and although there is a small hole in his heart it should get smaller as he grows. He will always be a little delicate but should live a normal lifespan if he's a pampered puss. We're all celebrating as we thought it might be far more serious and he might not live to be old enough for surgery. Now it seems he won't need any ops!

*gallops into thread on horsey cat*
horsey cat says that's fantastic news about hearty cat.....

i'm so tempted to pause my Battlestar Galactica rewatch, and do a synchronised Vikings watch with you i shall consult the seer.....*shaves head gallops out of thread*

I WATCHED THE FIRST EPISODE!

Yes I love it already. I'm thinking ahead of myself.....but I'm thinking they outwit Gabriel Byrne and leg it out west on the dragonship! West to America??

*bangs sword on shield* ragnar ragnar ragnar ragnar......

thread wall!

It's west to England....I thought they would know their way there already, it aint that far! Although their ships are pretty small. Chunking into episode two now. The shadow of Odin My pagan heart is relishing it

i'm so jealous, i remember my first time

they are coming to my part of the world

*unlocks door *

Are you Northumbria then? Methinks the monks of Lindisfarne are going to get their little world shaken up good and proper

Well somewhat hazy and one was in need of a substantial cardi today. But hey ho it gave us a chance to find out the limitations of Playa Blanca from a practical point of view. If you want to buy a sarong or a trinket its great but for real food not so good. We seem to be managing though, Knocked up a risotto with a salad tonight. And wine is cheap and the most simple meal can become an occassion with plenty of wine and a candle or two. (Wish I was in proper Spain though!)

hope you are having a lovely time x

Well, I've just bought seasons 2 and 3 online and I've not finished season 1 yet.

If Ragnar invited me for a threesome with his Mrs I would NOT be saying no!!

Hehe, went to see Victoria Wood at the King's Head, Islington, many moons ago and she opened with "Nice round here int it? If you want to buy a sea sponge tampon or a stripped pine fireplace".

Really don't know PB at all, so can't point you in the direction of real food. Just stick to the wine! Have a great time

Please save one for me in the morning, I fancy a nice lazy day with added cocktails

Ah take no notice of me folks. I am a bit of a humbugger about holidays. We spend a small fortune to spend two weeks in a house which while looking lovely is less comfortable than ones own.

But I will have a lovely time because it is about family. But they like holiday Spain, if it were up to me we would be in downtown Valencia or a rural village in the Sierra navada or Extremadura, instead we are in a well appointed white box with a pool on a housing estate of white boxes with a pools. *shrugs*

Yours will be the one with the pink stripey towel

This is what i like to hear!!!! *smears blood over own face and then over Twass's face*

i adore Ragnar....i love watching him when other people are Doing Things, he is always thinking, you see his brain working away....such a great performance by Travis Fimmel he was born to play that role.

LOVE Lagaetha too!!! she is totally fab

so glad you're enjoying it!!! i thought you might

It's a weird one isn't it?

You sound similar to me!! In a similar vein, resent going to restaurants where the food isn't as good as i can cook. Love eating stuff i can't cook!!!

Haven't been on holiday for a while, but my view is that a holiday is to go and experience something spectacular/out of the ordinary so my dream holiday destinations are places like The South Pole, Greenland, Macchu Picchu, Japan, Alaska.... of course not in a state to go to any of them

It's clear Ragnar has greater intelligence than most of his peers, from the outset. Those blue eyes glittering like chips of ice, missing nothing Yes, I am totally hooked! Is there a season four? If so it's not yet out to purchase......

*arranges towels neatly on loungers, even one with moose antlers embroidered on the corners*

Not for the first time P I find myself wondering if you are my long lost twin separated at birth. Except fot eh Viking obsession of course - but hey ho even twins have their quirks. Looks to be a sunnier day today so getthat sunblock on folks.

BUt yes I am a tad bored if I am honest. The availibility of a good market and a well equipped kitchen I think looms large in my mind because meals and the preparation of same is a source of occupation for me.
