Opportunity

I always worry about what i put on this blog. I'm going to spain for a long wknd. Not that i have a massive readership but just my luck if the three people who read this are my mum, my gf and a local burglar. Anyway i'm taking all my valuables with me. Should be good, a bit of fresh air, dry weather and duty-free is just what i need. Although the holiday is starting in the traditional way with a surprising delay at the airport.
