Hey friends,Welcome to an evening edition. We got back late last night and I didn't have the energy to write, but it's Wednesday so write I will. You may have spotted that a new rule was introduced to have a covid test prior to flying back to the UK...

Oye amigos,Good news! An email not about Black Friday Offers. I had intended to give the whole manic buying spree a big miss this year as, after all, you get a 100% discount on the things you don't buy.But I succumbed after receiving a price alert on...

Oye amigos,Today marks the half way point of our Canarian escapade and a feeling of normalcy has set in - in a good way because it's starting to feel like we live here which was kinda the point. Two weeks is usually when the longest of holidays ends...

Hey friends,Well, I turned 35 this week and now can't pretend I'm early 30s anymore. Scarily the years seem to flick by ever faster which is explored rather nicely in a recent episode of Explained on Netflix named 'Time'. It also has a cracking theme...
