Come to Spain - Live the Dream!

So I’m sitting here on my newly, half renovated naya (covereed terrace), in the sunshine. Its 4.45pm, the birds are singing, horses munching their hay, I’m surrounded by mountains and the oranges in the groves are all ready for picking. Sounds idyllic doesn’t it? And perhaps in normal circumstances it would be but the problem I have with all this is I have a streaming cold, headache, the dogs are going ape shit because I’m outside and they have been in all day and I’m f**king well locked out!

Well when I say locked out, that’s not quite the case. The door has swelled in all the rain and my key won’t turn. As well as a cold which could quite easily develop into man flu,you know, I now have bruised hips from barging the door, injured toes from kicking the door, sore throat from yelling at the dogs to shut up and a phone that has no credit or battery. So here I sit quietly (OK maybe not quietly) seething.

I’m not seething at anybody, just the bloody situation and I bet when Rich finally arrives he opens it first time which may just push me over the edge.

Why is it when you feel poorly all you want is your Mum? Not a normal thought from me but Mums are the only ones that fuss around you, making hot water bottles and convincing you that nobody has ever been as ill as you. Although having my Mum fussing around me now maybe quite nice, I think I’d rather have somebody here that could actually let me in, you know to tackle last nights washing up, put the washing away, mop & bleach the floor before making dinner etc.

OK husband has rushed to my aid, after I sent a text to Daddio which I didn’t think would go through and what do you know? He opened it first time and asked me why I didn’t kick the door. I pointed out my boot marks and in we went.

I have to be honest. Going in may have been a mistake! Not only was I greeted with the usual delights that I was expecting but I had a large puddle of diarrhea, a feather cushion that has lost its stuffing and  chicken which had gone off in the fridge!!!

What is it they say??? Be careful what you wish for!!!
