Partner picked up an interesting chair. Not as good as my find, but solid and quite nice. Struck me as slightly frenchified, Louis whateverish. Meanwhile my prize mirror find was taken back to the finca and plonked on the top of drawers where it makes a rather good match. Our Gib neighbour has an extremely […]Read Post ›
I don’t know if that is tautological or not. I suspect, although in common usage, that it is. Anyway regardless of grammer, a pause, a gap, a breather to get on with life. These include in no particular order: A demanding puppy Snowy seems to think that I should not be spending time tapping away […]Read Post ›
… A Mercedes Benz Got to love a man who brings you a Mercedes Benz with a McLaren engine no less, first thing in the morning that he rescued from the street. OK, so maybe it’s a 1/60 scale model, but still, it’s the thought that counts. Vrrrm vrmmm. Zim zim. Little roughseas loves toy […]Read Post ›
It being Ramadan, the local Roccy (Moroccan) workers seem to be doing even less than normal. According to Partner who is ensconced with them on an office refurb job. So it’s no smoking, no drinking, no eating, and apparently not much working either. They often get their prayer mats out during the day to face […]Read Post ›
One of the strangest customs I have learned from my partner is that of always changing something when a room is decorated. No, not the colour, but the layout of the furniture or the situation for hanging pictures. It sounds to me like an old wives’ tale, but he carefully makes sure that at least […]Read Post ›
Courtesy of The Mamas and The Papas, except before pop experts correct me apparently it is ba-da ba-da. Oh well, I always sing la la to songs as I never listen to words. But not just any Monday because today is also Birthday, Birthday. Glorious blaze of self-promotion there. Every year it strikes me as […]Read Post ›
Being a considerate sort of woman, I always try and stop and take photos of Land Rovers for Land Rover Obsessed Partner to see. Naturally there are lots in Gibraltar. Usually with an MOD reg. So I took a couple of snaps as I was walking towards the frontier. “WOULD PEDESTRIANS KEEP WALKING AND NOT […]Read Post ›
Our vehicle problem this time. Not someone else’s. Idle partner decided to drive down to the beach – rather than walking. I suppose because it was late morning and hot. So he got in – and discovered the starter motor was jammed. He did the usual stuff, whacked it kindly with a hammer, and put […]Read Post ›
Wandering idly down the beach the other day, as you do on a Sunday morning, Excitable Partner spotted a Bedford 3-ton truck. When he is not lusting after Forward Controls, or 101s (these are all Land Rovers) he wants a Bedford truck. Hmmm. “Hi can I take a photo of your truck?” “Yeah, course you […]Read Post ›
I have no idea what sort of axles and diffs I have on my Land Rover Santana 3.5 diesel 6 cylinder Station Wagon (DL Super). No tengo la menor idea que tipo de ejes y diffs mi Santana teine. They are not like any axles on any of the Land Rovers I have owned. They […]Read Post ›
