We're getting ourselves in the mood for our trip to Spain...
Another work week begins - but for a change, I am not in such a maudlin mood. We're counting down the days until we depart for our long-awaited week in sunny Benalmadena this Saturday - and it's another four-day week to boot, as I am off this Friday to finalise the bag packing!
I feel a little trip on this Tacky Music Monday into the dreamworld of our Patron Saint Sara Montiel and her safety gays might well be appropriate...
Oh, yes. Bring it on!
Have a good week, dear reader.

Off on Saturday!!!! Wow! Things are beginning to turn towards normal - I hope the week speeds by for you.

Trouble is, the week running up to a holiday always seems to go twice as slow as the week we're actually there! Jx
DeleteI was in Benidorm for most of December, the average day time temp a glorious 22 degrees and a nippy 10 degrees at night, you might need to pack a pashmina.
ReplyDeleteHave you noticed a lot of Spanish people walk with a shuffling gait?
Mitchell (who lives in Fuengirola) says they had nasty gales there recently, but temperatures are rising again to around 21 degrees this week - so by the time we get there it should be even warmer. I don't care. It's away from here! (And yes, we always wear the second-best stole of an evening...)
DeleteSpanish people have no sense of urgency whatsoever. We were forewarned before we went that Madrid was a "bustling and fast-paced city". We got there, and we were forever muttering under our breath "just get a bloody move on, or get out of the way!"

Love these Diva videos, I've found a lot of great female entertainers on her, thank you
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Jx
DeleteHow exciting for you. A getaway! Be sure to pack plenty of black liner, waterproof mascara and extra fishnets. The Touristas! They know how to show a girl a good time, no? Sometimes... too good, if you know whatta mean? Eh?
ReplyDeleteI'll be waggling my abanico all over the place! Jx
DeleteThe week before any vacation, I would do absolutely no work because I was spending all my time reminding everyone, incessantly, that I would be gone the next week.
ReplyDeleteGood tip! I'll be going into the office later, and shall spend the day doing just that. Jx
DeleteThere is nothing tacky about Sara Montiel !
ReplyDeleteThe sets? Jx
