just walked by the bike, it's of course locked up and with a 'serious' secure lock and its a 'sporty' bike - not the type us folks would now be using - gave you a very very quick wave as I stopped to have a look at it - couldnt stop any longer as I needed a comfort break.

We have just had a curry in the courtyard curry place, next to the old roast house - had to send my lamb rogan josh back as it blew my head off, certainly not a rogan josh I am used to having and had a few there and elsewhere apart from that it was ok.

Could hear something up here on our terrace around that time, we are near the Mirador strip - presume it was the steel band, clearly part of the carnival events.

In fairness to everyone its been a reasonably quiet time, the fair is back on the wasteground next to the Valdes Centre - but the final weekend is about to start so, music, fun, noise and light images that move around the sky are expected until the finale on Monday night.

You can feel the 'party party' mood in the air.

On the last few occasions that I've looked at the webcam, it has appeared that the police clampdown on the use of the double seated invalid scooters is working, hardly any to be seen, the hirers will be suffering financially.

Now that they've added a sound facility to the webcam Medman can sing to his absent adoring fans when he is at the Linaris2.

Now I know that on the forum that I'm known as 'Simple Simon', but tinned grapes!!
Carol would refer to that as a 'Nebuchadnezzar' of Champagne.:D

As a after thought canned 'Sour Grapes' are readily available on this forum. :laugh:

Hopefully our tins of 12 grapes will not be too sour.

As many will know the Spanish tradition is to eat one grape for every one of the 12 'dongs'' as the clock reaches midnight to herald in the New Year. Not always an easy task.

The local Mercadona in Spain normally have them stacked up just as you approach the checkout. Of course you dont need to buy a tin but it makes life a little easier if you do.

It would be more difficult to eat a single grape with each dong in Puerto del la Cruz as the church clocks are never synchronised and you would probably hear at least twenty dongs at midnight. :devil2:

When we arrive in 88 days time, it will be a different apartment from our normal one at el Mirador....the one we have rented is only 25 metres from where the webcam is and we will have the same views as you can see from the camera. :jumping:

I hope we don't get fed up with it, as we will be looking at it for 28 days.:D

There is no doubt that we will be found in our favourite evening drinking spot, the Linaris II, and it's only about 15 metres from our apartment....now I won't have to carry Carol back up the hill to el Mirador, I could maybe even get a long straw for her and she can sit on our balcony and still have her drink on the table at the Linaris. :D

Also hopefully we will meet up with sunspot there and have a meal with her, it's now been two years since we have seen her.

Now that's a coincidence, as only this evening our youngest Grandson asked us when we are taking him to Blackpool, he loves the buzz of the place, fortunately as he lives in a holiday resort in Scotland (Largs), he is not interested in the slot machines.
I think we will take him for a long weekend sometime in June....the lucky blighter is going to Vietnam with my son and his wife in November.....now that will be a culture shock for him!
