Month: December 2011

From one extreme ….

From a rather grey, damp and gloomy Gib I thought I would share some sunnier pix with you all on this particular Sunday. A few posts ago, I wrote about the Mid-Harbour estate. Here in Gib it is called government housing. In the UK it would be a council estate. But in the UK you […]Read Post ›

Big Sibling is Watching YOU

Fookbase (FB) Warning. Not only watching, but recording, filing, and saving your every move and comment. Even those you thought you had deleted. Now you know why some of us have left Facebook.  Thanks to Iquitoz at South of Tonight for the link at the top of this post. And if you really can’t manage […]Read Post ›

The mysterious saga of the missing Gibibikes

No sooner had the bike scheme in Gib gone live than the bikes all seemed to have disappeared. It hadn’t gone live everywhere, but for a while there were half a dozen or so at the rack near us, and similarly down in Europort, and presumably elsewhere. The stand down at Commonwealth Parade is still […]Read Post ›

Sabado. And some thoughts post Gib election

Just another Saturday.  The euphoria of the election result has died down and it’s back to normal. For Partner it’s back to work too, as he is working at a restaurant in Ocean Village. I wandered down later to take some photos for our portfolio.  It’s actually Pizza Express, which I thought was a variant […]Read Post ›

Gibraltar Election Result 2011

I went to vote early yesterday morning just after the (12) polling stations opened at 9am.  There were police around, and a queue out of the door and down the street.  I went […]Read Post ›

Sunny Sunday

After what seemed like sorting stuffs in Gib forever we finally made it back to the finca. We like to think we are still adventurous types so we even tried out a new by-pass (here) on our way home. No sooner had we been back five minutes than my neighbour collared me with a conspiratorial […]Read Post ›

(Cider with) Old Rosie

So much for my nostalgic looks back over the previous ten years.  Nothing like saying you will do something and then totally failing.  Not just on this blog but on every single one.  Oh well there is always December and at least it will avoid writing about Christmas. And now for something completely different. A […]Read Post ›
