A day of topless gardening has finished with a bit of a sun tan (thanks Heliocare), now TFBSZ, and a return to paid rest tomorrow for my body.

Morning all
I see clear blue sky out there this morning. It's currently 18 degrees with a high of 23 expected.
We have just arrived in Malaga, and I was awake in time to watch us do the final bit into port and park up. We'll be allowed off in about an hour once all the paperwork is done.Comment

Malaga is much nicer than I expected. I thought it was all Brits on the piss and "fish and chips" but the parts we've visited have been very lovelyComment

Lunch: the rest of the cold chicken thighs from the other day, with a bag of plain crisps
They're keeping me busy today, much against my will. Links will be along as soon as I have timeComment

The car earlier was a 1960s Dodge van, the same as a Commer van because it was a rebadged version thereof. Then, an odd situation where the gold diggers are on hold because of Italian bicycle racing but the Italian bicycle race had a rest day, so they had a program with the antiques bloke but instead of antiques he was restoring a Lotus Esprit. And that was followed by him again but this time doing the antiques, most of which I missed while cooking or didn't pay any attention to.
And then there were gold diggers, but a new season. Not sure if this is two or three years after the ones they've been repeating until the bicycle thing happened, as I don't know if they were able to dig during Covid lockdowns and so on.
And finally a peculiar program in which two chaps dressed like cowboys sought legendary lost gold in the formerly Wild West, though their supposed attempts at searching were extremely desultory and it seemed quite obvious that, like the inquisitors in Borges's Library of Babel, nobody expected to discover anything
