The Holiday Was A Good ‘Un.
Comments (1) Well, I ‘m back. I’ve been back since Saturday, but have only now decided to put a post together. I am off work until Saturday, so I’m happy I have more free time other than my holiday in Spain.
The holiday went fine, and the time went really slow. I suppose that’s probably because I was so relaxed over the 15 days. The weather was kind, and I managed to get a small tan, which is now doing it’s best to vanash. The most important thing is that you can tell that I’ve caught some sun, which to me was very important throughout the holday. When it was sunny, it was really warm, so I managed to get some rays at every chance I could.
I met a few new people that I hadn’t met at other times I’ve been there, and went to a few new restaurants, some good and some particularly bad. In the past we went to a few Chinese restaurants in the area, but in the end we only went to one: the evening I arrived. I suppose there’s a number of reasons why that happened: getting sick of Chinese food, or not many of them being around the area like there used to be, or maybe because eating habits change over a period of years. Saying that, I mostly ate fish and chips. The fish was good, but the chips varied from restaurant to restaurant.
I also drank a lot more beer on this holiday han what I have in the past. Normally I like my usual drink of Southern Comfort, but, as this is in fairly short supply in restaurants these days, I was sticking to beer. Also, when with friends, out came the beer (not to the falling down stage and drunk, but just enough to relax). At one stage you couldn’t even buy Southern comfort anywhere in the shops of the area, but the local shop now stocks it. That’s mainly because the area is changing to give the people of the area (mostly ex-pats and holiday-goers) like their home comforts, after all.
I have also read all the books that I took with me, thinking that I wouldn’t do a lot of reading this holiday, but reading I did (mini reviews of two of the books definitely coming up in future posts – hopefully). Shows again that it was a relaxing holiday.
When i got home, I had my work shift rota to have a look at, and oh dear, it’s going to be a particularly bad year time wise, I have loads of early shifts, and probably an equal number of late shifts.
Over my holiday, I did think about the future of this here blog, and the good news is that I’m not giving up quite yet. I plan to continue my posts on “DVDs In My Collection” and also branching out a bit with books. Posts about work and how crap it’s going will be few and far between now, but I do want to mention a few people I see and talk to, but it will not be a bitching session that this and that happened. Probably, in the past I’ve wanted to say something about how the work’s going, but always change my mind, hence very few posts.
So, welcome to the first post of March.
