Monday morning - don't you just love it? To cheer myself up up on the laboriously long drive into the office this morning (average speed achieved a whopping 15 miles per hour) I allowed myself thoughts of the upcoming holiday to Tenerife. It lifts the spirit a little when you think of the average 26 degree heat that is pending, although getting drenched in the pouring rain in the 50 yard dash between the car and the door to my office removed any positive feelings at rather a quicker rate than they'd originally been achieved!
Luca and I spent most of yesterday at his grandparents house (and no doubt you'll have already seen the photo's on Dad's blog) while Carole went to her fitness class. My main reason for going through was to watch the Aberdeen V Celtic game on Setanta, although Luca seemed to have his own reasons - namely to dismantle his Gran's kitchen piece by piece. And, fair play to the wee man, he came exceptionally close to achieving his plans.
The game was great too - a cracking victory for Aberdeen - although slightly marred by the rumours that have gained momentum since the game that our manager will be leaving us to manage Norwich City. Norwich. Who wants to live there? It's apparently one of the most boring cities in the UK to live in. Still warmer than Aberdeen though I suppose....
Dad and I were yesterday discussing plans to visit Terife's football ground while we're there. They have a team in Spains top diviosn (alongside such illuminaries as Barcelona and Real Madrid). I say we, more I was talking him into it. Craig, Scott and Ross - any of you keen? Doubful, I know.
Actually, reverse that. I just "googled" Tenerife FC and it appears they got relegated last season. However, I think this means we'll be able to get tickets for a game without too much trouble. Coincidentally, they have a home game against Cordoba on the 29th! I'm going, as is Carole (though I haven't yet asked her...) - who's joining us?
This week Carole and I are going to the cinema to see the new "Underworld" movie, Not my cup of tea, but the original movie is one of Carole's all time favourites. I'll let you know if it was any good next week. Even if it isn't, any chance to go somewhere that sells pick'n'mix should be visited at any opportunity!
And talking of movies, Carole and I watched "Snakes On A Plane" on Saturday night. One word. Don't.
**Useless fact of the day - According to legend, Tenerife was believed to be one of the uppermost peaks of Atlantis, which catastrophically sank under the ocean leaving only the highest mountains above sea level**
