My Lady and I were on our way back from the bank today and as we drove along the coast road near Sunset Beach Club we came across the National Police who had stopped a car with 4 occupants in it. They had their guns drawn, and were searching the suspects one by one. You read of crime in the newspapers here, but this is the first time in over 7 years on the CDS that we've seen any 'villains', or suspects. In fact it's the first bit of Police 'drama', apart from document checks, we've witnessed. I hope it's the last.

Have you noticed that The Guardia never sweep the road  clear after a traffic accident? When you get the go ahead to proceed you have to run over debris from the crashed vehicles.  British Traffic Police always carry a stiff broom in the boots of their cars. Much more sensible.

Spent much of today researching certain aspects of 1973 for "The Saturday Pledge". Here in Spain Google searching can be annoying. Everytime you put something in the Search Box, no matter what the subject, you seem to always get Inmobiliarias, Car Hire, Restaurants, etc etc.

Someone told me a disgusting Irish joke last night, can't repeat it here though. I stopped telling Irish jokes after a nasty incident in the Mess in Northern Ireland, when I was in the RAF. I told an Irish joke, and an Irish Captain took exception to it, he came at me with a razor. He would have used it too, if he could have found somewhere to plug it in.

I met up with my pal for golf last weekend. I noticed he was wearing a very sparkly earring in one ear. "I never knew you were into earrings Steven" I said., "How long have you been wearing it?" He replied, "Ever since my wife found it on the back seat of my car!"

Hope you have a peaceful & cool weekend.
