the past month

Well wouldn't you know it, a whole month has passed. Time sure flies. In a stream of consciousness sort of way I'm going to tell you what I've been up to for all those weeks. Friends came out, Miss Lucy, Dan & Doro. Drove to cool places. Saw Europe's longest stalactite - in the coolest caves! If you ever get the chance you should go - Campanet caves, just down the road from me here in Mallorca. Watched a clusterfuck of cars at the Formentor lighthouse which could've amused me for hours. Ate some amazing food, tapas, paellas, fish, roast suckling pig. The best value "menu del dia" ever, where every course was the size of a main!! Met new people, made some friends. Kissed a plumber. Ended up in some funny situations with my furby Jamie-lee (she's a furby because when her and Becky sit down to talk it's like they're furbies, talking at each other in fast, incomprehensible gobbledygook, and sometimes I have to threaten to take their batteries out), situations that I should probably not broadcast on the internet! Took the other furby to a festival in Pollensa where she thought for a brief moment that she might get killed, Moros i Cristianos festival gets a bit rowdy, it involves all day drinking, swords and guns (health and safety - what's that?! And AMEN to that!!). Chivas, late night dancing, late night drinking. Buckets of whisky. Karaoke, karaoke and more karaoke, sometimes god and sometimes really bad. Pool time, beach time, work time. Interesting work requests - using plastic chicken wire and cable ties to baby proof a stair case. Satellites that interfere with remote control gates effectively keeping your guests hostage in their villa. Dogsitting for a small ewok called Tim. Horse riding with the furbies as a staff day out. Packing one furby off to France, we're down to just two team members now a nanny (who drives cars like she stole them and likes to drive too close to ditches) and me, supposedly a jack of all trades.

Yeah, I think that about sums it up. Let's see what the next few weeks hold in store.
