We went to watch 'Savages'at the Myramar last night. John Travolta never disappoints, and Brad Pitt was awesome. The film deals with Mexican drug cartels, and if the news lately is anything to go on, the film was a fairly accurate portrayal of the scumbags that frequent that world.

Lovely to wake up to the sun this morning, it's why we came to Spain. Sitting on the terrace in shorts having a nice cuppa, you can't beat it.

I needed a bit of therapy after watching the woeful display of my team - The Canaries- yesterday on stream. I can't believe that highly paid and pampered young men can put up such a gutless display. Glad I'm no longer a season ticket holder....I think I'd ask for my money back !!!

A friend of mine is in hospital for an operation on his piles. Poor man, he's had a very rough passage this year.

It is reported in my local paper that a man went into hospital to have a bottle removed from his back passage. I wonder how on earth he swallowed that? I also read that in an Ipswich hospital  Mrs A is out of control. I wondered what happened, then my wife pointed out it was MRSA.

My granddaughter Laura is training to become a midwife. So if there's a problem at home will it be a 'midwife crisis'?

I'm lucky so far, still in good health. I'm teetotal, maybe that helps.  My body just will not tolerate spirits. I drank two whiskeys once and tried to hijack the lift to take me to Cuba.
