The story of our move to Andalucia .... and our move back to the UK

Saturday 12 June 2010

Tonight, of ALL nights!

We've had lovely, long, hot, sunny days, for ages and ages now. We've had stable internet and phone links via satellite and I cannot remember when we last lost TV signal due to bad weather.

SO WHY TONIGHT? WHY NOW?

England are due to start their World Cup Campaign in less than half an hour and the heavens have opened. It's been pouring down for over an hour and shows no sign of stopping. As yet, we still have the TV signal but it keeps breaking up and then settling again.

We could be in for a long 90 minutes of football.

Mid-June in Spain - who'd have thoought it.

I know Linda-Lou in Mexico will be jealous of our rain, but honestly - couldn't it have held off just another couple of hours?

Perfectly fine here in Guardamar, two hours north of you. We watched the game, C found it boring & cursed our goalie!!! You didn't miss much if it broke up.

No, we managed to see it all. Not like the HD viewers who apparently had adverts and missed the England goal!

Hi LL - it was only a good game if you weren't in the same room as my husband when our keeper let the goal in - oh boy, I had to cover the pups ears to prevent them learning a whole new language.

It's hardly stopped raining since Saturday, and more thunderstorms and heavy rain today - the forecast is brightening up though so the end of the week should be better. If I could send it your way I would but our weather always goes east so it'll get to you, just be a wee while yet!
