We have a 'parabólica'

Nothing to be alarmed about-although it does sound like something that you might pick up in the swimming baths if you don't wear flip-flops.

It's actually, as you can see from these photographs, a satellite dish which enables us to pick up English language Channels on our TV and it sits in the corner of the garden looking up at the sun ( it had to be so positioned to avoid the pine trees) in a hopeful kind of way.

Mike is looking forward to a summer full of cricket and we are back on track with the West Wing. Incidentally, we caught part of a West Wing Episode on Spanish TV last night. It was dubbed of course. I think there must be a very small group of actors who specialise in dubbing in Spain because everything sounds the same. Spanish Josh had a really deep voice which I am sure I have heard before coming out of Tom Hanks' mouth, but actually would pretty much suit a Spanish Cary Grant. Anyway it is not Josh, who, as you all know, is squeaky and unsophisticated. I hope the parabolica doesn't signal that we are settling into a life of expat indolence. Must rush out and speak some Spanish!

Have a nice week or, if you must, se disfruta la semana que viene
