Living with the Presidente.

A tongue in cheek account of living with the Presidente, OR how to survive and extended 'family' of 183.

Valencia .........and the doorstep..........
Sunday, June 29, 2008 @ 11:37 PM

Valencia was wonderful and very HOT. It turned into something of and EOS outing what with More and her OH and Patpur and his Mum accompanying us. It was a long day but really good...............................then me and El Predident went home.

On our doorstep were two new ,but broken cigarettes. Why ?? From where ??................don't know. Was it a subliminal message for me ?? I smoke, was someone trying to tell me something ?? Anyway we decided to just leave it as one of those unexplained things ( another !! )

Friday's offering, on the doorstep, was a plate of steaming paella, which I nearly stepped in as I dashed out of the door to catch the window cleaner, who had not, apparently, left the paella. Neither had he cleaned my windows.

In the evening, El Presidente and myself went to our local quiz and my ticket was drawn out for a go at winning 640€ at Play Your Cards Right. I got straight through the top line and half way along the second line with no probs, choosing 'higher' and 'lower' with great aplomb. Then I drew a Jack. So I looked at El Presidente and he said go 'higher'. WHAT ??  That means I would need a Queen, King or Ace........you don't get anything for a pair ( altogether now......) NOT IN THIS GAME !!
You all know what is coming next, don't you ??
I went 'lower' and it was a Queen.

Where's that b***** swear box ?? And a cloth to wipe that smirk off El Presidente's face.

Hi Karen, what bad luck on the cards - must mean you're lucky in love then eh?

Glad Valencia was good fun.

Any news on where the Paella came from?

Valencia WAS hot, wasn't it, Karen ?

We almost flaked out in that 36 degrees !!

Finished off the day with a Chinese meal with many others including Karen & El Presidente.

Many thanks for inviting us to join you, both with the trip & then, the meal.
