It was 75% yesterday in the sun loggia here and no foreign food, flies, expensive travel and apartments etc.
marvellous.
Mind the great whites patrolling off the beaches. Might fancy a tasty Brit for lunch. Pinas Coladas all round mate.

...how the other half live!
I'm obviously nowhere near either of you. A few degrees above freezing here, raining on and off for most of the morning, threatening clouds, extortionately expensive transport, felonious property prices and taxes, indifferent local swill.....
Ah, life in the Great Wen
"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life" - have been feeling somewhat knackered for a while now.
PS: Got a spare room Timsk??

I'm now back from sunny Spain and have moved into our new home; a rather tired 60s bungalow in dire need of some TLC and having a shed load of money thrown at it. That said, nowt much wrong with the view: the pic' below was taken from my living room window first thing this morning. Sorry cantagril, I'm afraid it'll be quite some time before we have spare room for guests!

Lol Richard!Funnily enough, I've just received an e-mail from the lady who bought my last house to say that she's removed a raised veg' bed (that we put in over 10 years ago) to make way for a trampoline for her kids and, in so doing, uncovered a crown of the dreaded weed the size of a beech ball. The really odd thing is that there's never been any sign of the plant above ground in that part of the garden. I'm not sure how to reply to her as she'll never believe that we're as surprised by her discovery as she is. Fortunately, she seems pretty sanguine about it (as she ought to be IMO - a lot of fuss about nothing) and is really enjoying her new home.
Anyway, if any of you uncover knotweed in your gardens - let me know and I'll tell you how to deal with it - I consider myself to be an expert! It's yet another useless thing to add to my long CV - only marginally more impressive than Fridge and Fruit Bowl Management.And both the latter are things I'm genuinely good at.

Opening gambit that....looking for compo.....just wait for the lawyer letters to start
Having taken the thread off-piste with my last few posts, I thought I'd get it back on track with a link to this excellent documentary offering real insight into how the art market works and how to make your fortune in it. Cue spoiler alert: I'm afraid you need a fortune already in order to become a player. Sorry!

There is a MAJOR Monet exhibition coming soon to London.
I think the commentator said it will show a large number of his works especially those of River Thames scenes painted at the turn of the century.
Missed the gallery but it will be one of the big ones.
