And so we're back, from an idyllic few days in "the St Tropez of Spain" [©Mitzi], Sitges, tanned and happy! Needless to say, having only got back to the house at 11.30pm last night, today has been a less-than-active one...
Even though a "little" gang of nine of us (plus two who already live in Spain) were gathered there for "Jurassic Paul"'s 70th, we really only got together in the evenings. The Madam and I did our own thing by day, doing what we do best [bugger all!], sitting in the chiringuitos [beach bars], eating, drinking, enjoying being a stone's throw from the sea - and, of course, totty-watching.
Shopping, sightseeing, gossip and, well, just fun were also in order, obviamente...

Bliss, from beginning to end...
Did I bring back any new music from Catalonia? Nada. However, here's a beloved old fave song from an artist who was actually born in the province (albeit to Andalusian parents, who moved back there when she was a child). I haven't featured it for a few years, so it deserves another airing:
And what did we miss while we were away? Not much, really, news-headline-wise. Inconsequential stuff like Phillip Schofield quitting ITV's This Morning show eclipsed Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to the G7 summit in Hiroshima and the Ukraine War in the headlines, which says a lot; there was some kind of "chav riot" in the dystopian council estate of Ely in Cardiff; and some twat called De Santis decided to run for candidacy for the US presidential election against another twat called Trump (yawn).
There was, however a slew of departures [or at least, news about their deaths] of some very famous names indeed, including: George Logan, aka "Dr Evadne" of the fantabulosa Hinge and Bracket; the (formerly) gorgeous Helmut Berger; satirical author Martin Amis; fabled light entertainment show choreographer (with his troupe "The Young Generation") Dougie Squires; (erm) the former "national treasure", TV star, Royal portraitist and hit singer who was latterly revealed as a sex offender Rolf Harris; film-maker and author of the scandalous Hollywood Babylon Kenneth Anger...
...and, of course...
RIP, Miss Tina Turner!
Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock, 26th November 1939 – 24th May 2023).
Legend!
Those the excellent and slick taker of pictures...to get such a lovely capture of the muscle eye candy?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. Looks like a good time for all! A good week here...least till Mrs. Turner's demise. But now on to a four-day weekend here......
We had fun getting that Speedo-clad-totty in the right pose while pretending it was all about getting the Madam in focus 🤣.

PS It's a nice long weekend here for us, too, so plenty of time in the garden in the sunshine to come yet!
La Legende 'Brown Sugar'.
ReplyDeleteUne energie si intene qu'il est difficile de croire que TinaTurner/Anna Mae Bullock est partie. *d'Anjou
Tina was sort-of always there, with her long career. She leaves a yawning gap that no-one else is able to fill... Jx
DeleteLooks like a great time. So THAT's a totty. I'd watch, too.
ReplyDeleteIt was a stupendous break - with lovely views, too! Hee hee. Jx
DeleteYou look so chilled and happy!
ReplyDeleteYep, the headlines about Schofield were odd - why were they headlines?!!
RIP dear Tina.
Sx
This holiday was nothing but "chilled". Jx
DeletePS As for Mr Schofield, I couldn't care a hoot. Seems somebody out there doesn't like him.
I love the pictures of you two! Great weather and fun times! I'm glad you had a good trip. I also love the 4-frame of Tina Turner.
ReplyDeleteThe weather was brilliant - and completely contradicted all the forecasts, which predicted it would be grey and drizzly the whole time we were there. We had some overcast mornings (hence the reason we had coats with us in a couple of those pics), but every afternoon/evening was sunny and hot!
DeleteSuch a great holiday... Jx
I came for the totty (Woof! Well done on the capture), and stayed for your smashing blouses - what an array! That one with the sunglasses dangling from the collar really suits your tan.
ReplyDeleteFancy! Of the blouses on show, you chose the Primark one... 😎

DeleteOh, my mistake - it's hideous!
Cheek!!! Jx
DeleteFab Holiday. Fab photos. Fab food and fab music to compliment it. I had Europa playing full blast on my headphones one morning as I walked the Paseo and that was fab too
ReplyDeleteRIP Tina she was one hell of a woman.
Monica Naranjo and holidays - they go together so well! Jx
