    Local life. There is some tourist activity but it's not intrusive. Unlike Marrakech you are not pestered by young lads offering you guided tours, best prices at their cousin's shop, etc. It isn't overrun with museums and the like but there are interesting, historical things to take in, google it. It isn't a big place though, good size for a relaxing break for a week imo.

    Long weekend in Glasgow.
    Cracking gig, good pubs and some nice food.

    Train journeys surprisingly efficient.
    Highlight of journey might have been the train lady pouring us both a glass of wine from a new bottle, because Mrs Tash wasn’t drinking so I knew I could have both, and then deciding she’d just leave us with the rest of the bottle anyway <cheers>

    Used to love my work trips up to Glasgow. Journey time qualified, just, for using business class. Rail journey there always good. Meetings held in city centre. Nice venues, nice hotels, nice restaurants, good company, interesting meeting topics. And getting very well paid for it. One of the very few things I perhaps miss about work.

    Went there last fall really enjoyed it. Facinating and interesting Medina. Meal and hotels very reasonable. Restaurant food can be excellent depending on where you choose and is not a funciton of price. Was there for about 6 nights which I thought was just the right amout of time. Great beach for walking and water warm enough for a swim and Watersports if you are into that (Kiteboarding, surfing etc. but can be a big shorebreak so not so good fro Winging).
    The weather is interesting very pleasant in October but in the morning can be socked in with fog and be very damp until the sun warms things up.

    Flying out to my daughter’s villa near competa 50mins from Malaga on 13th November, cannot bloody wait. Unfortunately I was originally going alone to watch the two grandkids, seemed like heaven, but the Mrs red burst my ****ing fantasy ballon and decided to come… **** !!! I’d arranged a few video calls to someone special back in Ull. well that’s not gonna ****ing happen now….
    I dreamt of release
    now I’ll get no ****ing peace
    I could’ve been alone and happy
    but now with a wife far too yappy
    The days will now drag
    sat with a miserable old bag
    Two weeks in the sun
    Oh what the **** have I done… I could go on
    It’s late and I’m knackered….**** sake !!!!!

    Glasgow is the best. Just totally and utterly raw, you get it how you see it.
