Yes Puff the new one matches the other recently replaced ones. After much discussion with the sales guy we sorted the the right material and colour to match, just the two end ones a bit faded in comparison but that’s ok.
A warm 36c today so shopping done early after the plants got watered and now just chilling with a book.
Fish n chips soon. See ya later guys. 😁

Hope the new ones match, Vince  :)

Keep fit this morning, then went to collect my new glasses, I like them.
Not much on this afternoon, a walk, and go to collect some water from the fuente, and that’s about it, apart from some chilling of course  8)

Take care fellas

G’Day guys, a decent 30c today with a spot of humidity due to some rain overnight and early this morning.
Had a guy in today to replace one of the patio blinds, third one out of five due to wear and tear. Had them 16 years so have done well really. Hope the other two last a while cos they ain’t cheap to replace.
Taking it easy otherwise. See ya later. 😁

Did a bit of washing first thing, then went for my hearing aids adjusting, they’re just about there, so she downloaded the app, for me to sort, I still have to go back next week though. Bit of shopping on the way home, had lunch and now into chill time.

Take care fellas

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head Dave, (excuse the pun) small hardware shops virtually non existent nowadays. Had one close to my previous address but closed about twenty years ago and more recently one close to my present address closed last year, two brothers ran it but decided to retire as Bunnings opened their biggest store in WA not too far away so can’t really blame them.
An ice cream van travels around our village every Monday no matter what the weather is like playing Greensleeves, stopped him one day asked him to fill a small bowl, said it would cost $12 so I settled for a regular cone at $5, still not what I expected so never asked again. 🙄
Pleased you got your holiday sorted Puff but stressful getting it done, feet up and chilling innit? 😁
A hot 40 c today so chilling under the a/c. 🥵

Yes, ice cream vans still exist in Britain, Dave, a couple of years ago I bought my GGD an ice cream at a local beauty spot, can’t remember the price, but it was unbelievably crazy, and payment by card only, ah well, just one of grandpa’s duties that had to be done!
Although there are some big shopping complexes here, such a lot of people from anywhere but the big cities, don’t like to travel, so we have quite a lot of the old fashioned style shop, or a Spanish version of them, small, friendly, and everything at an arms length ;D

NB don’t look back too much, it can complicate looking forward!


I’ve managed to book a holiday, to Tenerife, this morning, what a faff these so called ‘budget’ airlines are, only cheap because they make it up on extras, but by being clever, and travelling light, I’ve managed at only just over double the starting price :o
I popped over to my local coastal resort, to walk along the beach and calm down after all that faffing, whilst there I met up with old acquaintance I hadn’t see for some years, that really made my day……………. petty problems forgotten 8)

Take care fellas
Puff

Along the lines of Video killed the radio star... is there such a thing as a hardware store anymore.... more on this when I get my brain working 🤔😄

I was thinking about young Dave today and one of my earlier jobs was in a hardware store.... yes on a corner.... with a garden centre outback.... do these things still exist or have the large conglomerates completely tolled for them.... just a thought.... so many things are now disappearing.... always enjoyed my Saturday night trip to the video store with a Chinese takeaway thrown in.... Ah well, I can dream
Hey, whatever happened to ice cream vans and Greensleeves playing... Mmmmm 😁🙏

Keep fit class this morning, then proved that the lottery machine is faulty, by coming away with nothing again, collected an Amazon package.
I then tried looking at holidays again, it just can’t be done without ridiculous complications with flights, like stating €77 return to one of the Spanish islands, with a Spanish ‘budget’ airline, by the time I’d finished the booking process, the price was over €300, for basic travel! Back to the drawing board.

Take care fellas
