MORE VISITORS AND WERE
OFF!!!
Just joking. Ali & Steve - that’s Andy’s sister and
hubby - are here so we are off to Lanzarote for 5 days
and they are animal sitting.
Before we left we had a couple of nights out with them
showing them the town and ending up in Flicks for a
Karaoke competition that we were judging!!
Steve caught the bug though and joined me in “I got you
babe” and many more and his Frank crooning out “NEW
YORK” finally started us on our way home but not before
we danced the Salsa in the Plaza to some Spanish Band.
Great time - a hangover on the ferry next day was not a
good idea but it has to be done.
So waving Goodbye to Toby and the cats with full
instructions on feed and pooh times we finally boarded
the FRED OLSON and “We are sailing “
Twenty minutes and we are on another island and quite
excited at the thought of spending 4 days and nights
together with no animals jumping on the bed and
disturbing our sleep.
The Rubicon Palace was a nice little 4 star sweetie and
was I going to lap up this luxury all-inclusive break.
My man knows how to treat me - a facial and a massage
booked. Now the facial, I thought Andy had paid them to
put me in an iron mask. When it was put on as a cold mud
pack on top of a piece of muslin, I thought great but
the longer it stayed on the hotter it became, it was
like having my face in an oven.
Then it got cold and my face I’m sure went into panic as
when she chipped it of all my muscles tensed and I
looked ten years younger! In fact when Andy saw me he
immediately booked one for himself but 3 cocktails later
he said I looked tired .You would need one of the
treatments everyday and at 60 euros it would be a no go.
Fun though and you want to know how good Andy looked
well 10 pints of lager later and 2 shots certainly made
it waste of money but the girl was pretty he claimed. I
shoved him in the pool later - that will be the best
treatment he will get on this hols I said.
The food here was brilliant - all buffet meals but
cooked as you wait from Prawns, chicken and steaks, what
ever you wanted and as much as you could shovel in,
great! My type of entertainment!
Talking about entertainment this was all my era” YEAH
YEAH YEAH,” “SHE LOVES YA”, STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOR EVER”.
The Beatles, dead they are not but looking at their wigs
could they have been doing some grave digging?
Their suits and wigs certainly looked like early relics
but wait for it their voices were wonderful even if they
did have slight Spanish accents. Even Andy was tapping
his feet but me after 3 cocktails I just have to sing.
He loves me yeah yeah yeah?????
The last night and we wobbled back to our room and from
the grounds we could see the lights of Corralejo so we
shouted “goodnight Toby”. We must be drunk but that did
not stop us having a game of Chess with these giant
pieces.
Oh I forgot to mention we went to Arricefe the capital
to meet a dishy couple of friends of ours who own Aqua
dreams and they were treating us for dinner. This turned
out to be in a 17-storey building with lifts in it, You
must remember Andy and I are used to seeing only
two-storey buildings in Fuerte so we were amazed at the
views from this restaurant on the top floor.
The menu was Ostrich, Monkfish and an incredible choice.
We felt like we had been whisked off to London.
Dancing after dinner with live music and yes I was on a
date with three guys, a lot younger than me and it was
BLOODY EXCELLENT.
I should have had a dance card but the only problem was
that I was only drinking water and as you know we are
not so lithe on our feet as when we are a little
intoxicated.
We are definitely going there again when Ali &Steve come
back and animal sit again. When will that be Ali????
Feed the animals again and clean up the pooh - back to
my routine, but wait for it not for long as I am back
from Lanzarote for one day then jet set to the U.K. -
need a fix of retail therapy.
So off I fly leaving Andy and his sibling looking after
the babies. Me, I have an important wedding to go Sam &
Edita on the 21st July.
But I need an outfit and I am very lucky as I have two
great sisters-in-law Rachael & Nita who also love to
shop.
Tesco first to see what I am missing on the food front
but has it changed. You can check your own shopping out
and place the money in a slot and it gives you change
but alas does not say “Thank You” or “Have A Nice Day”.
Oh well progress.
We did all look a little over dressed in Tesco as we
came straight from wedding and had a little too much
bosom showing for the average shopper - we certainly
stopped a few trolleys. We were also very loud or was it
too much bubbly????
Well thanks girls and to Nita I loved posing in your
Cabriolet but sorry I embarrassed you by turning the Rod
Stewart up and hanging out of the car but you need to
lean out of the window and go for it and next time
please let me put the automatic roof up and down at
traffic lights.
Get some Take That next time and then we can really go
for it.
Well girls have a nice quiet time as I am over again in
October!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NEXT TIME I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT THE WEDDING AND THE
HORRIBLE UNEXPECTED GUEST WHO CRAWLED OVER MY NEW
SHOES….
