Having a go at that chicken and chirozo dish tonight mate, with a couple of amendments to suit my taste. Will let you know how it goes

Cut the chorizo into generous slices mate. That will produce the lovely oregano/chorizo/olive oil sauce.

Already done mate. Probably cut then quarter inch thick. I dusted chicken thighs in smoked paprika and browned them off first. Threw in a few whole garlic cloves too. Won't be short on taste that's for certain?

Just seen about Godfrey. Was toying with the idea of signing up for Sky Sports this morning and Im glad I didn't now. Sickens me to see those awful injuries.

Happy match day friends!

Our first time of the season is finally here and while i wish our first game wasn’t against Chelsea, at least we are playing home so hopefully we will achieve a good result in front of our crowd.

So much has happened the past couple of weeks but it would take me far too long going over everything but the highlights are that I lost my phone in the river while tubing after my tube when under a branch that had a copperhead hanging from it that almost landed in my tube. Then my iPhone replacement got stolen from outside my gate, the whole ordeal left me without phone for almost a week which seem like an eternity during this age of technology. In the meanwhile Sofia came home from camp one day claiming that she was now a woman since she got her period for the first time so my poor husband is now going have to deal with two PMSing women every month and just a bathroom, not good at all. Then my younger brother decided he didn’t want to go to the beach while he is visiting from Belgium canceling our only chance to go to the beach this summer so that was very disappointing. Work has been very busy still but last Saturday at an event that I attended I got a visit from the VP of Student Services, who is the main boss in my department, and he expressed how happy they are with my work. Later in the conversation when I told him how much I want to continue growing within the college he mentioned that in the future my boss position will become available once she retires and that I should pursue it, which is great to hear that he would consider me for that job. Lastly, Sofia is going to overnight Girl Scout camp tomorrow, I have been helping her things get ready which has added to my busyness. She is super excited about going again on this experience and one of her best friends is going too and they will be placed in the same cabin so they can’t wait to spend this time together without parents. The hubby and I are also thrilled to have some time on our own, our 26 year anniversary is the following week and that will be a busy time for me as it is the beginning of the fall semester at the College so we are going to make the most of it next week instead. That’s my quick update and it took much longer than I hope.

I hope everyone has a beautiful weekend and may our Blues give us the first happiness of the season with a win!

Arriba los Caramelos!

Flip.. that’s an eventful couple weeks! 26th anniversary! Was real young love hey so enjoy the time alone!

Great feedback on the work.. keep the conversation alive.. ask directly what if any gaps they would want you to work on to nail it down when the time comes .. they know you want it.. that’s the first step. How long till retirement?

It has been an eventful few days, summer adventures I would call them lol We adore our daughter but having a week to ourselves is a treat.

Thanks, mate. Administrators can see how happy and how effective I have been already in just the few months that I have been doing this job so they have a new sense of appreciation for me that I’m definitely enjoying. I agree, knowing I want that position was the first step and once the time comes I will take the second step. My boss is 61 so it could be anytime in the next 5 years.

Btw, don’t forget to take pics of your trip and post it for us here. We always enjoy those.

Morning from kiwi land mascoteers
I’ve been away from Spain about 6 weeks now and just getting a bit cabin crazy … don’t get me wrong I’m living being here with my family but I live alone in Spain for a reason , I thrive pretty well on my own when I can choose who and when in general I can socialise with . I guess it comes from 18 years divorced and learning to be comfortable in my own skin . Ha ha my 11 year old grands son observed … grandad do you know you chat to yourself in third person !!! Yep I said ? any ways I’ve rented a small Britz camper van and I’m off to see some volcanoes and vineyards … I may even pop into Hobbiton … I leave on 15 august … I’ll GOT blog it

Have a great adventure

It's when you fly out somewhere to join the cruise Billy, rather than sailing from a port in the UK. It isn't something I've done before because Cal didn't fly. Even if she did, I don't think all the luggage she took on cruises would fit on the plane.

We do it regularly Fred , it does

Just seen about Godfrey. Was toying with the idea of signing up for Sky Sports this morning and Im glad I didn't now. Sickens me to see those awful injuries.

They didn't show it Fred .So pointless as the ball had obviously gone out seconds before .
