Problems, problems... in blackpropaganda
Life is getting confusing recently - a) all the discussion about Britain’s exit from Europe, (Brexit) , and re-negotiations, and emergency brakes on benefits etc just leaves me totally confused...
Back to normal... in blackpropaganda
I keep looking at the weather where we have the place in Spain - and then feel the strength of the wind, and the chill here - and wonder why we came home! Anyway - it is all about getting back to...
Home is where the ..what..is? in blackpropaganda
We are disorientated. We had a great drive to the airport yesterday as the sun rose - and as we left Spain it was C19 degrees. When we arrived in the UK it was 1C degree with a biting wind. Than...
Packing up in blackpropaganda
Flying home tomorrow and a little sad, especially given the weather in the UK - who calls a storm Gertrude unless it is to distance it from any living person - OK I bet someone has an Aunt Ger...
Cloudy day in blackpropaganda
Done a lot since last time I wrote. Had a trip out to another part of the coast on Sunday. Great to drive on empty motorways - the result of political investments which were not justified by plan...
Bus, bike and backpack in blackpropaganda
Busy times here in Spain - well, relatively busy when you can choose what you do. Thursday we took the bus to Murcia city - old OD readers might remember my stories of the Murcia bus station wher...
Biking in blackpropaganda
Yesterday we rode our bikes - a quick blow-up of the tyres and off on the bike paths to feel the sun on our backs. The area around us is salt pans with flamingos - lots of them - and totally flat...
Peppers, mills and bums in blackpropaganda
It is still difficult to relax after a lot of activity last week and we both woke up at about 2.30 am wondering where we were. Still, with the Sun out and C18 today we are getting acclimated. We ...
A quickie..... in blackpropaganda
..since packing is going on - and I have to be available to suggest what I need to take!!! I just hope the snow holds off - but we have booked into a hotel at Newcastle Airport for Friday night s...
Stay off the sauce..... in blackpropaganda
It is a joke that every other weeks, or even every week, tabloid newspapers in the Uk have conflicting stories about the good or bad effects of drinking alcohol - from drinking in moderation to k...
Places to go, things to drink... in blackpropaganda
Before we go to Spain we are going to stay with our family for a few nights, and go to a ceremony which SW.. has been invited to attend. This is in Durham so we will have a chance to see friends,...
A dry spell..not not that kind! in blackpropaganda
Just to report - it is not raining - but rain is forecast later. It looks like the only place that has not had prolonged rainfall in the UK is God’s own country - or as it is known, the South-eas...
Remembering the past.... in blackpropaganda
I am slowly getting through my list of things to do before we go away at the beginning of next week. Every so often I remember something else and so the list does not get shorter - but I think al...
You know what's scary? in blackpropaganda
I was looking for rental cars at Alicante Airport - I normally work through a firm which has lots of offers - but everytime the website seems to be more complicated - and I have already buggered ...
Fancy that.... in blackpropaganda
A joy last night to watch a new series of Young Montalbano - a spin off of the crime series set in Sicily where the sunshine and sea are ever present. A great change from the gloom of the Danish/...
The party's over..... in blackpropaganda
Thanks for your notes on the last entry - I was not sure if they were expressions of shock or incredulity. Anyway, all back to normal now - we never see the couple from one month to another - pos...

Wellies, lips, chests and hands in blackpropaganda
We are now getting ready for Storm Frank! Just hoping that the strong winds do not arrive before the walk I am leading has finished and we are taking our coffee and scones in the comfort of a hot...
Water, water..... in blackpropaganda
Is it El Nino which is causing all the trouble in Paraguay with floods, Texas etc with tornadoes and New Mexico with snow, and nearer home flooding in Lancashire and Yorkshire? I feel really sorr...
Back to normal - nearly - with funnies in blackpropaganda
Boxing Day went very well. SW… got a lot of presents and cards - and then we combined in preparing the meal - my role had been making the pepper sauce, and then the roast vegetables - as well as ...
Post- Christmas time funnies in blackpropaganda
It’s over for another year. We had a fairly low level Christmas Day - we both had two presents to open - one of mine was a joint one. Then just relaxing until going down the road to share a Chri...
