Predictable as ever, we go to La Canada shopping centre for a pizza (they put in olives instead of anchovies but nobody - well hardly anybody - is pefect) that is simply awesome. Slightly burnt on our special instructions to maximise the cancer causing acrylamides. Scrummy.
Some years ago, I had a test carried out that revealed that at 2 KHz my hearing is some 60Db down. That probably does not
mean a lot to you so let me re-phrase that:
At medium frequencies, my hearing is 1,000,000 times worse than that of a "normal" person
Yes. You can hear a noise that is one million times softer than I can. So, why is that in Morrisons, even when I move right
across to the other side of the cafe I can still hear the relentless jack hammer that is momentarily stopped in the photo
above? Good question.
The girls go off to the fair in La Linea ...
... while great art is gathering itself in our kitchen.
Various pretty girls come round and cavort in our pool
At about 1.00pm we all set off for Primark in Algeciras. An hour later, having gone round in circles, we are back in
Gibraltar where I get a bus home. This is because it turns out that the girls want to stay there for several hours, if not
for several days. And the Tom Tom is in a humorous mood and wants us to drive across a railway and up roads that do not
exist. Mind you, we do get to meet a very nice horse who is lonely and does not want us to go without her. Sadly, we leave
her behind.
My girlfriend then takes over the car and they wait behind a truck for 20 minutes. Eventually they work out that the
truck is just parked and off they go to Primark. Phew!
Later, some lovely people take us to the Wok Restaurant in La Lines. This is a bit big and industrial looking but the food is
excellent and the staff are very friendly. And although it is an "eat as much as you like for a fixed $$$", the clientelle
are surprisingly svelte - in the UK or the USA the place would look like a Billy Bunter Lookalike Competition but not here.
Not only are they lovely people but they laugh at all my jokes (which, of course, have been recycled for environmental
reasons). Even better, they laugh in all the right places rather than when I forget the punch line.
We set off to photograph HMS Chatham which has just arrived but this proves impossible because she is well hidden behind
other ships. On the way we notice that they are creating blue lines on the road - that is a new one on me. Yellow and Red
maybe, but what's with blue? Maybe it means "Motor Scooters passing here will be incinerated". Let's hope so.
It seems thet the King Charles V steps have been weeded or something because they look much tidier than a few
months ago
I have no idea what this plant is but in Gibraltar you can probably grow just about anything
On the way into Jerez we pass an exquisite church ...
... and a more modern construction which has a different kind of elegance.
Finally, we get to the zoo where the girls happily wander round while I sit in a cafe surrounded by screaming kids.
