I have random photos coming up as a screensaver.
Some are Nostradamus-esque 😂

Cheltenham Festival in Benidorm: The Brits who watch the racing in Spain Thousands of Britons have travelled to the Costa Blanca to enjoy Cheltenham Festival, the pinnacle event of the jump-racing calendar, from a distance.

Spain MEP Irene Montero: “Send your son, Donald Trump — If you want war, send your own people to the front line. We in Spain want our children, our daughters, & our loved ones at home, safe. We don’t want war — those who want war should send their own children”

You're home then?

DPP loses appeal of the decision to throw out case against Kneecap’s Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh.

The DPP threw a lot at this appeal.

Of course Darren. I, for one, am absolutely convinced of the bona fides of "defensive" bombing.
You and your boss have been brilliant and those thinking the UK is being duplicitous should back off. Well done.

Infantino has no choice but to keep doubling down.
Problem is, his co-doubledowner will drop him like a stone if he needs to.

The lobbying they clearly got to tie themselves in knots over that issue,really augurs well for summary justice without juries doesn't it.

It's extraordinary how many people buy the argument that government has no money, and believe it's there to make their lives better.
Often though, it's code for "I'm comfortable anyway" and/or "I don't want 'them' having anything".
Greed, envy, division, the tools of neoliberalism.

I love this. My favoured approach to gigs is to combine the songs with stories.
Todd does it brilliantly here. A sad loss.

All those "well off" pensioners aren't the scandal. This is.

Exaggerating the size of his body parts again!

Momo is lovely, and I know Rosie would love him (because she's all about the male of any species ha ha).
I'm still basking on the glow of getting an apology from a Spanish dog owner. 😂

Exactly the sort of reply I'm on the internet for. Bravo!

Large white Spanish dog

Rosie thinks she's in trouble. She isn't.
The mad dog from above us attacked her again.
I've got a bad cold so am not strong.
Rosie is always attached to me so it was a struggle - because I know Rosie would absolutely win that fight, then it would be my fault!
At least the owner apologised!

Really chuffed to get my new #avfc Paddy's Day shirt. It was my birthday present to myself.
It came really quickly, and no additional tax!
It will be featuring a lot in my corner of Andalucía. 💜💙💚☘️

There are, apparently, 188 in Spain. I've never seen one in Andalucía, maybe on the Costa del Sol.
We can get a cafe con leche for €1.40 here- I suspect it's similar for you.

He's going to say, very soon, the war is "won" add it to his wall chart of "peace" he's brought - then invade Cuba.

The US has no plan. Its war on Iran is purposeless posturing with no end or goal.
Here's a US Senator...

Imagine a man like this overestimating the size of his body parts!

You're absolutely not wrong Bob.

Oh no!!

Ha ha. Yes, he was with us for quite a while. Excellent keeper, not sure why we didn't hold onto him.

Remembering when even our reserve keeper was fun😂 .
This was after Brentford away I think.
Good times at #avfc

Pretty sure that Pearson would have been cheering Thatcher and McGregor closing all the pits because, you know, Lefties.

Jerusalem Post publishing op-eds by Nazi's now I see

It's snowing today!
Cocktails on the terrace cancelled. 😂

Expecting FIFA to suddenly develop a conscience won't happen.
It's up to enough of us (and, fancifully I know) some brave countries, to boycott it.

I’m not sure what is wrong with ‘the average left-ish normie’ Starmer used it as a way to gain the leadership, so some must want it.
Yet it seems, political ‘commentators’ think that the traditional parties of government are the only ones with all the answers for how to govern.
How’s that going?

Indubitably.
Someone did a review of my last album and said I may be the only Spanish, Irish, Brummie country singer ever.
