Went to play a sci-fi RPG, instead ended up arguing for six hours about business models and the socioeconomic theory of space trading

A cockatoo just flew a metre above my head and made one of its trademark 'SqwarrarrarrrrRRRGGGHHHHHH' noises. I could have done without that.

WJH: finally had to cave in and scrub my forearms vigorously to remove the last vestiges of really expensive perfume I had been slathered in by the chica at the perfumeria. It was making my eyes water.
I went with my friend to buy some new eye cream ( for which I now know the Spanish equivalent for bags under the eyes and wrinkles - hah!) and was offered such a wonderful local discount that I decided to buy some new moisturiser too. Ah! Even more local discount**. So, the delightful assistant begins to demonstrate the latest top brand perfumes, on our forearms, wrists. We ran out of bare skin after a while. M and I must have had euros worth of stuff squirted on us. After a while you cannot distinguish one scent from another.
We're outside the EU for tax purposes, so I can afford to be lavish with my skin. The girls in the perfumeria have loads of samples to try out, and they DO.
** descuenta residencia = I live here, don't charge me the tourist rate

I just got home from the nighttime walk. While we were out he grabbed something in his mouth off someone's lawn. Usually it's something like chicken bones which I don't want him to eat so I grabbed it out of his mouth and it turned out to be poo! !

Came back off Cave Hill just as it was getting dark.
My car is still using far too much petrol, and now the engine check light came on I'll have to take it back to the garage and tell them off tomorrow.

Mk2 bought me an early Christmas present, a new mobile phone!
Its basically a small hand held computer, its even better than my brother in laws I-Phone, which I don't think he is happy about?
Mk2 told me that she saved over £90 buy buying it on line, our lad helped her buy it, I am well chuffed with it.

Talked to Mala on the phone when the postman rang twice. Once in Ireland, and once in Germany. Simultaneously!

What's just happened....
I've just discovered another corner of hootoo...
If you really what to know, I've just had my lunch and sitting in the conservatory watching the sun disappear behind the clouds...
Not too exciting I know, but hey ho...
* waves to Lanza* and hopes she stopped itching and coughing, but no sympathy really as living abroad is a choice, not a requirement
And is this a place to just waffle...if so ....I've come home!
