Well, we’ve had a fantastically wonderful holiday in Spain. It was one of the best we’ve had ! So nice when all the family can get together. The weather was absolutely spot on !!! Not too cool, not too hot !!

What made it that more enjoyable is that kp was in the right mindset to enjoy it. The mood is up and kp was in good form !

Can’t quite remember what happened over the last few days specifically, but we enjoyed them. kp remains off the fags – well done kp.

The last day of the holiday was spent at our hotel and everyone came to us. We played a tournament of table tennis. Needless to say, I didn’t fair too well, but did manage to beat dad, and 1 game with Guy (he won the other), but Jane stormed all of us !!! Karen also had a play (but not in the competition), and she did really well, managing to hit nearly every ball I played her !!!

More than can be said of the kids who were adamant they needed no instruction, but we’re equally inept at hitting the ball AT ALL !

The last meal was at the villa and was 2 x takeaways. Chinese and Pizza – it was lovely. Following day, we had a good travelling day home. It was nice to see the dogs again (thanks Marie!).

The past 2 days (Sat/Sun) have been chocka block !!! kp has been gardening. And me and Tommy (ace neighbour) have been constructing a greenhouse, and it’s been BLOODY hard work. I am not very used to hard labour, never even mind easy labour. Tommy who’s approx 70, was mixing cement, lifting heavy stuff, whereas I was sweating moving my head from left to right watching him pour the cement !!! Mind, it was hot ! THANKS so much tommy. It’s took us 2 days and we’re not finished yet. The concrete base is down and will be setting tonight. The greenhouse is all but built, needing the window finishing and a door latch putting on, and the glass all needs fastening in properly.

Was due a heli lesson tomorrow, but we’ll postpone and get this knocked on the head while tommy’s here.

So, photo time…..

Here is kp playing ball with the kids…..

Here is Grandpa and the kids jumping into the water at the same time, or trying too…..

Sophie and her mate…..

Here is our new greenhouse (nearly finished)….

Finally….Mum and Dad have had a new satellite installed at the Villa. It means they can get Sky over there, but it’s so big, it also means I can talk to my mate on the International Space Station…..
