50P flights my axxx!
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010Prices and terms for 2011
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010We have set our prices for 2011 using Ryanair philosophy. I don’t mean we charge extra for beds, use of TV etc. although it’s not a bad idea!
What we have done is set lower or the same price as last year and then when the weeks start to book we will possibly raise prices for the busy weeks.
Another change is..
“Finca Arboleda is perfect for a quiet relaxing break.To help us achieve this for all guests we do not accept children in the Villa or Apartment during the peak summer months.”
We hope this will prove popular with guests.
A new trend?
Monday, July 26th, 2010We have a lovely Belgian family staying and they have brought lots of delights from their country for us to try.
Beer, of course, Chocolate, Cheese, Biscuits, and Jams.
Must check where the next guests are coming from!
Belgian goodies
Villa makeover.
Sunday, July 11th, 2010The Villa is now the proud owner of 2 new leather sofas, very comfortable and a new king size bed. It’s so good we may have trouble getting people to leave!
Talk Spite
Saturday, June 19th, 2010I doubt many of you listen to Talk Sport. I think it’s aimed at White Van drivers and it’s so over the top that it makes me chuckle. The highlights are phone-ins and quiz time.
This week they were playing “Know the score” not maths, this is talk sport remember but a quiz about theme music from films.
Play music….the contestant has no idea “Can you give me a clue”
Presenter “We’re in a continent watching the world cup, when it’s over we will leave for for home, we will be..?”
Contestant “Zulu?”
Taxi for Barry, Lampard, Rooney.
Saturday, June 19th, 2010Having spent the day listening to Talk Spite, 5 Live, Sky Sports News and watching the 1st 2 games I was convinced that Barry is the saviour of English football, the like of which we haven’t seen since’66.
Algeria needn’t bother to even turn up, 4-0 minimum the experts tell me. I’m already convinced England only have 3 decent players, Rooney and the Cole brothers, but I’ll go with the flow.
My God! that was the worst 45 minutes ever, birthday boy will sort it out at half time we’re told but no, more of the same. We need inspiration from the bench and what do we get, Wright-Phillips for Lennon.
We’ve had estate agents, lawyers, city fat cats and bankers but overpaid footballers rank top of the pile, I give up…..what times the Slovenia game?
Easyjet baggage allowance
Thursday, June 17th, 2010Been following a thread on a forum about checked in bag allowance with Easyjet.
To check in a bag is £9 for up to 20kg. But, you can pool luggage still, so 2 people can have up to 32 kg in ONE BAG, still for £9. Plus of course hand baggage allowance.
Don’t try it with Ryanair!
(32 kg is the maximum allowed in one bag for H&S)
Senseless noise in South Africa
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010In desperation and at my wits end due to that senseless noise during the Italy – Paraguay game last night I reached for the red button and there it was option 1 “commentaries” just scroll to the right and select “no commentary”
Jonathan Pearce and Mick McCarthey silenced.
The games have been a bit dull but I’m looking forward to see who I can silence next.
Listening to Radio 5 and silencing Graham Taylor might be a bit much but he deserves it. I listened to him describe how a game had become “stretchy” this apparently is when the game is stretched and he followed this up with “what we call getting round the backside” I’ll leave you to figure that one.
I might go back to Springwatch tonight.
Didn’t expect a win.
Sunday, June 13th, 2010I didn’t think we would beat the US and wouldn’t have been surprised if we had lost so a point is OK. Heskey did well but you just knew he wouldn’t score when he got his chance.
I’m old enough to remember when West Ham players won us the world cup, bet their fans are keeping a low profile today.
Can’t wait for Algeria v Slovenia, well I can actually…
Exchange Rate
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010Wow! they said it wouldn’t happen but the Euro/£ rate is back to 1.20 or should that be 83p I never know.
More of a reflection on the weakness of the Euro I know but your £ now buys more Tapas, Vino and Cerveza, Hic, I’ll drink to that.
