I'm back.

Apologies to our regular readers for my absence, and the dire lifelessness you've had to endure.

I was in Spain. It was fine thanks, weather was okay, apart from a bit of rain.

There is a theme park, and a couple of water parks. I avoided the water parks since it was cold and I didn't want to get wet.
The theme park, on the other hand, is quite good. It's actually a Universal Studios one, kinda like EuroUniversal or something. I went on some roller coasters and some fairground things and got sick.

You know what I hate? Bank Cards. I've got the usual cashline card, but use it seldom, so never remember the PIN. So, as I was buying the tickets for the theme park, they refused VISA without a passport, and I lost my card due to entering the wrong PIN three times. This resulted in a round trip in a taxi back to the hotel and the hilarity of being short of cash for the rest of the holiday, on Easter weekend when all the banks were closed.

Flight was delayed going out. It was delayed 1hr 20mins, which is standard for Airtours apparently. This wouldn't be too annoying apart from the fact that we had to get up at 3am to get to the airport. I don't have words for this.

The water in Spain is soft, or hard, I don't know. I do know that you couldn't get that squeaky clean feeling you get in a shower in Scotland, and it feels like you're constantly washing with some soap on your body, or something. That made me homesick.

I was reading a couple of books, one was a biography of Newton, but turns out to be a long discussion around the use of the word Genius. The other one is a study of the lives and times of Pirates, which is a favourite subject of ours. It seems quite good.

Finished all the puzzles on Super Collapse, it seems to loop back to level one at the end.

Cheers,
