So, been a while...dont' seem to get much time to write at the moment..can't think why!!!
Not that I'm complaining. Is weird, being part of a couple again, having, and wanting to consider someone else. Compromise is the watch word I guess!

Anyway, Barcelona last weekend was great, with the ginger one! We even found a restaurant called 'Ginger'! Taxi drivers wre very chatty, even if the one taking us tot he airport at the end of it was trying to talk in Spanish, teach us Spanish when clearly we knew very little. our interpretation was something like this:" Blah blah blah blah blah blah then you gracias blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah (animated with hand gestures!) blah blah yes si blah blah blah" ....you get the picture. We were totally drained by the time the airport came into view!!

Weekend was capped by the mad twins we found ourselves next to on the airport bus going to the plane. Within seconds they were grilling this poor Spanish guy about hi wife and wether they had kids, why he was going to the UK, fo houw long and basically a life history. Amazing!

Lucky for us, we were sat directly behind them on the plane, so had their life story as they told the stewardess it was their 50th birthday and they had gone to Barcelona to celebrate. All I can say is that I'm sure their husbands had a fantastically quiet weekend with a beer in front of the telly, every now and then, turning off the sound and going 'hear that? That's peace and quiet that is!'

The stewardess was supposed to have been serving us tea but they talked for so long, the ones working their way forward from the back reached us eventually and they'd still trapped this poor woman! Ii have to say, we were in bits by this point and dreading eeting them at the baggage hall. WE imagined the inquesition. 'So, did your husbands mind you going away without them? What? You're not married? But wouldn't you like to have children? Do you thnk you will get married one day? How many bridesmaids would you like.................' AHHHHHH!!!

Luckily for us, they were no where to be seen, so we grabbed our luggage and ran!
