Hello faithful readership, well, those of you who are not currently here with me basking in the glorious sunshine of Lanzarote. We arrived safe and sound on Thursday evening and went direct to Chester Fried Chicken for dinner. Despite the dubious name 'Chester Fried' does proper meals as well as anything dipped in spicy batter. A few beers later and our private pool at midnight, oh yes, you did read PRIVATE POOL, looked very inviting, a prolonged dip (with more beer) followed. The weather has been great so far, sunny all day, Andy aka Squirrel Boy is looking a bit red on his shiny bonce. We have amused ourselves all week by trying to injure each other with sponge soaker balls, these pack quite a punch when water filled and propelled by Andy and JR, ouch my eye. Spent the day at a water park with loads of water slides and stuff, on arriving we found it to be almost empty, and then we found why, €21 to get in!! Thieving buggers, anyway we paid and went on every single slide ten times over to get our moneys worth. Jr has perfected an arse first technique not dissimilar to a Barnes Wallace bomb. Last night, erm, Sunday, we dined in the harbour, vast platters of paella, mixed fish grills and tapas, loads of wine, then dodgy spirits. On getting home we decided we hadn´t had half enough to drink so polished off two more bottles of local vino, more beer and ended up in the pool again at midnight, how is the weather in Yorkshire by the way. Hope everyone is well, back to regular service on Saturday, best wishes from Y Soul and Mrs YS, JR & C, Stephenok and Nats.
