I am writing this blog with my pda. The laptop should be back from the menders tomorrow or Tuesday after having a new logic board as Apple call it, or a motherboard as we know it. I think that I was to blame for the board overheating, but shhhh! don’t tell apple. Anyhoo, I remembered that I had my old M5000 phone with wireless, windoze, and the all important qwerty keyboard for proper typing, so I dug it out of the cupboard and away we go.
So to recap the story so far. We damaged our awning in Benicasim, which we had fixed in Murcia by the top blokes at Caravanas Murcia. We then had our starter motor and our laptop break so we got the former fixed by the guys down at the local garage for €210 which given the current exchange rate is about £210! Our puter is in the capable hands of the apple shop in Alicante and they have pushed us to the front of the queue.
We are staying here in Santa Pola till the 3rd or 4th of Jan and then trooping down to Morocco.
We had a nice gentle xmas day, spending the day bird watching at the bird reserve at La Marina with a picnic lunch, followed by a walk on the beach. The evening was a duck on the barbeque and too much brandy.
I hope all you fine people had a grand xmas and are planning an equally grand new year. I will be wearing my kilt.
Love and peace
