Hoo-fucking-Rah! Just one more day to go and then we fly (again at some ungodly hour of the morning) to our beloved Andalusia, for the first time in two years...
All the onerous paperwork is finally sorted - at least for the journey out; the bureaucracy for our return will need to be done towards the end of our stay, at some grotty Spanish internet café I imagine - and the Madam's done the "TARDIS trick" of getting everything we need for a week away into the new maximum-size-for-EasyJet-if-you-don't-want-to-pay-£25-to-put-things-in-an-overhead-locker cabin bags, so it's just a case of getting ourselves in gear and suitably rested before the taxi arrives in the middle of the night!
Of course, I haven't forgotten that a traditional weekend send-off awaits, dear reader - so let's wallow in something suitable, from Spain, by way of a celebration.
I have posted this one, before, of course, and on that occasion I said:
"This clip has everything - bad hair, beards and sideburns, satin shirts and medallions, flared trousers in infeasibly awful pastel tones, freaked-out dancers dressed in nylon salad-vegetable-coloured outfits. It's perfect...
Gracias Disco ¡Ya es viernes! (Thank Disco It's Friday!)
Have a good weekend (and week), folks!
Flick Colby on Acid !
ReplyDeleteFortunately I don't think any of the Beach Bars are likely to be playing that track.
Shame they don't. It would make a change from Brian Adams and Michael Jackson. Jx
DeleteBlimey, they were a bit lively in 1974 weren't they?!
ReplyDeleteI'm terrible at packing. Too many shoes.
Have a wonderful time, and safe travels!

Oh! Girls and their shoes. Our friend Sal had to pay excess baggage fees just for her shoes on both outward and inbound flights for a week's holiday in Greece. On day one she broke a toe tripping over a wheelchair ramp, and couldn't wear any of 'em! She had to buy a load of flip-flops in various colours to match her outfits.
DeleteWe wear our shoes. One pair each. Jx
Please do share some pictures, preferable of Spainards in very tight pants upon your return! Some locale pics might not hurt either to warm my wintery heart.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time! Ole'
We endeavour to take loads of snaps while we're there - although the Spaniards do tend to be bundled up in heavy winter gear that covers all the important assets at this time of year [dammit!], while we on the other hand are sunbathing in shorts...
Delete¡Olé! Indeed. Jx
Leave room in your bag for a straw donkey.
ReplyDeleteIf I encounter a "donkey" I hope it's in a darkroom. Jx
DeleteAll that yellow and green, my poor optic nerves. Enjoy your hols!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the "Pacers" advert from the early '80s - "STRIPES!".
DeleteWe can't wait to get to Spain..! Jx
Bon Voyage
ReplyDelete¡Gracias! Jx
