I love Lanzarote. Never going back to Tenerife. Lanza is about 150% nicer.
Do you have a place out there SG or do you stay in a hotel?

Of course. I'm baggsying the testicles because we're having a competition in the village to see who can throw them in the air the highest and catch them in our mouths.

I've had lamb balls and calf balls. I believe the euphemism is "fry". They're surprisingly nice, like brains and sweetbreads, but softer, more subtle. Deep fried in breadcrumbs, bit of sauce gribiche.

Never seen how high I can chuck them though. I save that for peanuts.

rent a villa, usually via someone who manages a bunch in playa blanca, stay in too many hotels for gmc! it's nice to have the freedom/privacy, mulled over buying a place here but not sure it makes sense

i do like the cycling here, mostly good roads and drivers, plus pb tends to have more sun than the other side of the volcanoes, and as it's at the southern end there's usually a tailwind on the way back!

We eat them raw. It's all about Welsh superiority over the English. They make us more virile so your women want us even more than normal.

Nothing like a man eating a raw goats testicle to get a girl moist, as they say in these parts.

If you're in PB, may I recommend Marea Bar? You may already know it, but there's not many better places for a sundowner in Playa Blanca.

Long day of work extended by having to leave way before the sun came up to run and recover the car

Managed a slightly longer walk to the local with the current wife who is still below par after last night

Yeah, I'd forgotten how uncomfortable it was until just now. It was ok if you didn't move a muscle, thankfully it rained when we did Disney so was manageable.

Don't all greasy spicks sweat buckets

That might not be the description of me that most people would choose

Dragged the bed out into the garden room. Sleeping in the garden tonight to luxuriate in the cool that is 30c

There is usually air con in civilised hot places

There's what?! When I were a lad out in t' 'ot places, by 'eck, there were these fans in the ceiling. All they did was move the hot air around.

Stevo looks like his avatar, but older, and with a suit on, and with a pint of strong cider in his hand, and probably two already on board. I don't believe that he is a shapeshifting android, and I would not have had him down as a Spanish speaking American either.

Maybe it wasn't a civilised hot place?

It's 93F here today but the air con is nice and cool. Although the pool was warm
