My Life on a Plate

Jolly Brolly Holiday

They say everyone has a gift of some sort. I think I've finally discovered mine. I'm a weather witch. This has only been confirmed over the last couple of years since I've been going abroad.

If I go away early or late summer, you can guarantee England has a heatwave and is warmer than where I've chosen to go. In an effort to fool the weather, I decide to leave England in January when there can't possibly be a heatwave and what happens? Gran Canaria is affected by the worst weather in years. It started on Thursday and is due to end as we fly out next Wednesday. It has rained and rained and blown and blown and temperatures are struggling. We've had two trips cancelled already, bought a brolly on Thursday, lost it on Friday and bought another on Saturday. lol

My friend Big Pam comes here every winter and told me it NEVER rains. She arrives at the same hotel tomorrow for a week and I may just be tempted to hit her with new brolly, or both if I can find the other one.

Last night we were reduced to sitting in our room wrapped in blankets. There is only one English TV channel which is continuous news coverage...yawn. I noticed the TV has a habit of trumping every half an hour or so and attempting to guess when it would next pass wind kept me in hysterics for some reason. GAWD, I've finally completely lost it...not that you'll notice any difference.

But hey...It's stopped raining...and it's happy hour...and there's a great shoe shop down the road...maybe I'll survive. Catch up with you all soon. WUBS ya.
