Marooned

So much for those sunny days.  We have been marooned in Barcelona and our new ETD is 15 June.  This is because poor Pat has had shingles and been really poorly - fortunately before they came over so at least she had the comfort of her own bed.  Mike too has had further problems with - you guessed it, his new gnashers - and also a bad back (no comments please!!!).  All things happen for a reason though and the reason this time is that the weather has been awful and we probably would not have set off yet anyway. 
Mike has at last finished the painting, inbetween thunder storms, and all the timber has been teak oiled and looks like new.  Alison has been visiting Al Campo at least once a day to provision the boat for the voyage.
Last weekend there was an extreme sports invasion in the exhibition area next door, which was amazing:-

We have taken up the slightly less dangerous sport of beach volleyball - which is far more strenuous than it looks - especially when you are over 25.  But the sporting highlight of the tour so far - de de de de de dddddeeeeerrrrrr (fanfare) ALISON BEAT MIKE AT TABLE TENNIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
