This weekend has been a disaster!
On Friday I didn’t win the Christmas hamper at my local bar. I haven’t won it since 2011!
On Saturday I didn’t win the raffle at the local craft market in Ronda either!
And Tyson Fury lost his World Heavyweight boxing title fight.
On Sunday I didn’t win El Gordo – well, I didn’t buy a ticket ….
And tomorrow my wife is leaving me …..!
Christmas Hamper, Hotel Ronda Valley
I chose two numbers, 50 and 51, our birth years. I thought one of them was sure to win.
Nope!
Craft Fair Raffle, Mercadillo, Convento de Santo Domingo
I managed to get two good numbers, 6 and 8, both numbers of houses we own in the area. Once again, one was bound to win, I thought.
Not so!
I found a lovely Christmas present for the missus, Lovely Rita.
Heavyweight Boxing Title Fight, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
The Gypsy King, Tyson Fury, is 6’8’’ tall and weighed in 55 pounds heavier than his Ukrainian opponent, Oleksandr Usyk, who beat Fury on points back in May to take the title and inflict Fury’s first loss as a professional.
Well, Usyk did it again on Saturday night, winning the verdict from all three judges.
El Gordo, Sorteo de Navidad, Lotería Nacional, Madrid
I couldn’t buy a ticket anywhere on Saturday evening. Every outlet had sold out. So, I didn’t win that either.
My wife is going to leave me tomorrow (Monday)
But only for a week. Rita is going to Germany to spend Christmas with family. Three children and four grandchildren.
"Why are you not going with her?" I hear you cry.
