"Hooray, hooray, the first of May! Outdoor sex begins today."
In the extensive gardens here at Dolores Delargo Towers, the daffs, tulips and primulas - as well as the cherry and apple blossoms in the neighbourhood - are over. The air is now scented with the intoxicating perfume of lilacs, jasmine, rowan and the last of the wallflowers. How does one adequately encapsulate the scents of Spring? The combination is simply divine.
To add to the uplifting mood, I'm counting down to the end of a particularly gruelling week - and tomorrow we're up in the deathly hours in order to get a taxi to Gatwick Airport, to catch our flight to Spain for a week's much-needed holiday! I have never needed a holiday this much [since the last one, of course 😎]!
Let's have something suitably Spanish to get the celebrations going, shall we - and who could be more appropriate than our Patron Saint of Plastic, Charo?!
¡Gracias Disco Es viernes!
Have a great weekend, dear reader! We intend to.
STOP PRESS:
I don't know when - or even if - you will actually see this, dear reader, but I timed it to publish at 7.30am...and it is now 6.30pm and it still hasn't shown up! I hate the Google gnomes.
On my side of the spinning globe it's 7.34am and (as I just mentioned to Mr Device, I'll take my camera out very soon...)
ReplyDeleteThe gnomes are a nuisance, aren't they? Drown them in Riocha!
Oooo - did you get an alert that this blog was posted, or did you check manually? Only it still hasn't arrived on the Blog Reader thingy, more than twelve hours after I posted it. Yes, the Google gnomes are a pain in the proverbial. I shall endeavour to forget all about them on the Costa for a week... Jx
DeleteLike I said...drown 'em in Riocha! I always check manually, but that's because of the 12 hour gap! Sometimes bloggers on this side are a "bit behind" but not sure why.
DeleteEnjoy Spain.
