Well, a long break of sun, the occasional bit of sea (went to the beach twice in the whole time) and visiting relatives via long autovista drives has ended.
Got back from Spain at 7pm last night and had to get in to work for 8.30am this morning. Now I miss those Siestas (not to mention cheap lovely Spanish lager).
Driving around in Spain wasn't as bad as I thought, though roundabouts there are even more of a free-for-all than they are here. Now I have to cope with rain and thunderstorms on my first day back. Knew I shouldn't have worn that short sleeved shirt!

Hah! No such luxury.
We stayed at my father-in-law's house (technically my wife's house) which is a typical old fashioned terrace house with no heating or air conditioning (except for a portable one and a fan). So too hot in the summer and too cold in winter.
It has old furniture, old electrics which sometimes get overloaded, but at least it has broadband (thanks to my brother-in-law) and 2 PCs, meaning I get exclusive use of one when I need it.
But most of the time it was just visiting relatives; cousins, aunts uncles etc. and having lots of nice food.

Did you live the footballer lifestyle and get carted away for alledged rape to? A funny holiday story to tell the folks back home
Didn't fix the toilet in the end. We were up at my wife's aunt's house for so long that it wasn't worth it by the time we came back.
The place is a small town just below La Manga Club, a famous golf resort where the England football team have often trained on their plush football pitch (and famously let of fire alarms or been taken to caught for alleged rape). It's a nice area, quite quiet with mostly local people and Ex-pats.

Glad your back :) Though maybe you wish you were still out there. Who knows!
...and back to work straight away!

welcome back pb :) not the best way to come back, bad weather and work first thing in the morning. Probably wish you were still in Spain. Did you end up sorting your father in-laws toilet? I think it was the toilet. What was the area like? Like a small Spanish town? As I've mentioned a few times only one not to have been to Spain, though I'm sure away from the clubs and bars it's a lovely country.
