Dan's off to Spain today

Dan's here at the moment. She got home yesterday evening - but I haven't see her yet because when I got home last night the rest of the house was quiet - and I didn't want to disturb anybody. Shame that they don't show me the same consideration - late night text messages asking if I have seen the cat? (- well, yes - she's quite small, mainly black with a white bit on her face and chest, and answers to the name of Fifi...saw her yesterday morning when I fed her - but it's night-time now and she'll be out on the kill -) I just love the way that I look after all the animals and then when somebody comes home once in a blue moon they panic because they don't see the cat for half an hour - do they think I have killed her and baked her in a pie...if you're that concerned about the cooking fat - then stay home and look after her yourself!!!! ....Rant over...

Anyway - Dan's off to Spain today with some friends from Uni to stay at her dad's Villa over there!!! That's a week of self-sufficiency in the land of Sangria and Bars at Puerto Banus!!! You just know how that's going to turn out - it's just a good job that the house has marble floors - much easier to clean - but harder to fall on to!!!! They will live and learn - as we all did. My Mum asked me if I was worried about her going there on her own? My reply - at nineteen I was away in the Army doing everything for myself - learning how to kill people - I even flew to Cyprus (to live - not just for a week's holiday) by myself in a Hercules aircraft (very noisy and very cold and a VERY long flight) - so a teeny weeny week in Spain on the lash? What's there to worry about?
