The weather is absolutely terrible and the rain is lashing the Downs.  It's a far cry from last week, baking by day and freezing by night in the caravan.  I suppose it's like treading water.  I know where the land is but until I have somewhere to plant my feet it's quite frustrating.  Last night I got a surprise watching 'Who wants to be a Millionaire',  One of my old school classmates sat opposite Chris Tarrant and took away a fair proportion of dosh.  I did have news of him from another old school chum and had been told that he lived in Brighton but it's been approximately 45 years since we last rubbed shoulders.  I could have met up with him in Brighton and not known it.  Going up to Tim and Lueys new house tomorrow to celebrate Evie 'P's 3rd birthday on Friday.  My dad's birthday rememberance will be on Sunday so a visit to the church is in order to take some flowers.

Gibraltar for half term

Well here we go again.  Bulgarian property was on, was off, was on again and finally is on.  During that time I went out to Gibraltar for half term with Callum John and we went up and down the Rock, inside and outside of the Rock and I don't think that there was anything we didn't cover.  On the first day we even went over to Spain with Maureen and Phil, my long time friends in Gibraltar to buy of all things, tropical fish for the aquarium.  The World War II tunnels were particularly significant and a big thank you to 'Smudge' who answered all the questions that a nine year old could possibly think of with great patience.  The monkeys were still doing their stuff and climbing over anyone who would let them and stealing the possessions of those who did not take care of them.  St. Michael's caves were a hit as was the cable car that Mr Bland has been transporting tourist in for as long as I can remember.  My history with the Rock began in 1967, the year before John Lennon got married there.  We visited the Police Station where I used to work but unfortunately only saw one other person that I had not seen for the last 40 years.  There were probably several but I did not know them or they me but the one contact said that he would still recognise me so things aren't that bad.  Forty years does a lot to a face, believe me!!

If you want to check out more about the Rock and I would definately recommend it for a four day break try out the Discover Gibraltar website.

Going to add a few pickies of Gibraltar for good measure.  Just one of the Rock and the ship washed up on the rocks that developed a split personality in the gales.  Just mind the gap.....
