Monday 4th April 2016
It’s my own fault. Like most men I never learn.When I sent out notifications of my last update I wrote

. . . this time there are no disaster stories so perhaps our run of bad luck is now behind us - we both hope so - touch wood and whistle!! . . .

well, all the whistling and wood touching was to no avail. This morning my computer is, although alive, on life support. Having refused to boot-up we took it to the local (English) computer hospital - PC SOLUTIONS who diagnosed it as being brain dead and unless an urgent (hard drive) transplant be performed a decent funeral should urgently be arranged.

Tuesday 5th April 2016
The computer is back from hospital having had a new brain transplant. Sadly it is now like a small child and I will have to re-install all its skills (programmes) and memories (data), well those that I have anyway which, sadly, are few. Note to self - start doing back-ups!!

Wednesday 6th April - Sunday 17th April 2016
Karen and Danny arrived as scheduled and we have spent some very pleasant hours with them. We have driven to some of the old sights (for us that is, for Karen and Danny, some were new sights) and in particular we went for a drive over the mountains, where? - we don’t know, but it was very high, we were following what appeared to be a “temporary” road that gave magnificent views over the DENIA area.

We cooked a “FIDEUÀ” on the BBQ which was quite successful, although not the best I had done, Karen and Danny had never tried it before so perhaps didn’t know it could/should have been better and on their last night here we all went out for a meal in Moraira town centre. We were planning to go to “The Refugio” a restaurant my bro’ and I have used many times over the years but it was the one night of the week it was closed so we went along the road to a restaurant Sue and I first visited in 1996. Unfortunately neither of us can remember the name, but it is opposite Restaurant El Pou at the top of the steps, where we had a very good meal, made even better when Karen and Danny paid the bill and refused to allow Sue and I to contribute. Thank You Karen and Danny for a very pleasant couple of weeks.
