Hello all !
I am here sunning myself. Yes I know ….again! It’s extremely windy. Lanzarote is always breezy but this wind is exceptional. Still the sun is shining and I am topping up the tan well.
It was all a bit last minute really.
Deal Bear’ first Ryanair flight
I brought the bear along. Deal Bear. I thought he could do with a break from my front window in Griffin Street. So I thought he could come and keep me company. And perhaps amuse the the grandkids with his travels. Also I can show him the island, some of the people and friends. I hope he’s enjoyed the first few days. In fact, I am sure he has. The plane was an adventure for him as he’s never flown before.

Attended meetings with my accountant………..
Checking figures with the accountant
But it’s not all been work for him, He’s relaxed in the pool …………………..

and also eaten my very first attempt at cooking Tapas – a large bowl of Gambas al Ajillo, or prawns in sizzling garlic as we know it.
Preparing the Tapas
We’ve been for a nice long run each morning.
In the evenings we have watched Spanish TV to try and pick up the language and I have taught him how to play Rummikub, the National Sport of Deal.
I am positive he’ll be remebering this break when he’s back home in the window checking on the neighbours as they pass by. I’ve even building up this photogrpahic record for him to cherish.
Bear here ! He’s gone to bed the dozy human ! What a tosser. I was quite content in my window. It was dry, not too cold and always something interesting to going on. And the dozy bugger drags me out here !! All that crap about my first flight. How the hell does he think I got to England in the first place. Mind you …she was a bit of alright the stewardess. Olivia was her name. Thirty one and lived in Madrid. she was just about to tuck me in my seat when he came along. Taking bloody photos and distracting her. She couldn’t wait to bugger off then. I didn’t even get her number.
The girl in the car hire place was a looker as well. tickled me under the chin. Hee hee. But again he was cramping my style by talking about bloody insurance.
And the accountant. Phoaw ! I could check her figures all day !! but then silly bollocks has to start talking about money. I don’t think he notices these women you know. I gave up trying with them after that .It’s no use when he keeps putting the kaibosh on it all.
And all that old tosh about me sunbathing !! He put me on a sunbed and shoved it out in the middle of the pool ….bastard.
This is the real photo ……..look!
shoved out in the middle of the pool !
I’m floating about like the Mary Celeste. I’m a bear !!! I can’t swim !!! I spent twenty minutes pooing myself … I wasn’t brown with the sun !!!
and he made me eat that foreign muck. …. tapashit I think he called it. He didn’t have any I noticed. Probably thought he’d try it on me ‘cos I don’t count. He had a bowl of porridge !! I’m the bear around here !!
He’ ate all the porridge……
bastard !!
A run in the morning ……..my arse. It’s just an excuse to go to the beach shuffling along looking at the bikinis. The first day he spent forty minutes watching a womens beach volley ball game. And it’s no fun for me – it’s twenty eight degrees. I’ve got a fur coat on and stuck in his bum bag. I’ts no wonder I flop on the beach when he’s done! Tosser!
And he cheats at Rummikub! Four games we played once he’d shown me. He cheated each game. I may be a bear but I’m not as stupid as my cousin Winnie. Cheated each game and he still lost all four. And all this watching TV to learn the language. Huh! You can’t learn a lot sitting up all night listening to grunts and groans on the Spanish Adult channels. If you don’t believe me look at his remote control under favourite channels.
I can’t wait to get back to my window! Mind you there’s a window here…. I wonder if I can get him to put me in one?
