Messi's back but Bojan and Iniesta are 'injured' (probably being saved for the game against ManU) so it's difficult to get excited about this one. Let's just hope we don't look like a bunch of twats.

We are a bunch of twats - that's official. Two goals from Eto'o at the beginning of each half (the second one was a scorcher) and we still walk away with only a point. Pathetic!

Another one disappears...

According to SpanishTaxReclaim.co.uk

"If you sold your property in Spain between 2003 and 2006 you could be entitled to reclaim thousands of pounds back of the Capital Gains Tax you paid."

Because non-residents previously paid 35% capital gains tax while residents paid on 15%, the EU claimed that this was discriminatory and the website says you are entitled to claim the 20% difference.

El Precio de la Gasolina.com is a great site to use to try and reduce your motor running costs. The price of fuel has reached exorbitant levels and consumers need to vote with their choice of petrol station. Simply enter the type of fuel you use and the area you live in and the search engine will compare the prices in petrol stations nearest to you!

Anybody who's been following my 'Season in the Sun' blog will know that I'm not too happy about the state of play at FC Barcelona at the moment. But we're through to the semis. And our next rival is Manchester United (all hallowed be thy name). WElcome to our world. I look forward to seeing you Mancunians on the 23rd April.

All The Fun Of The Fiesta

Well it’s been a year in the making, but our
fiesta patronale is well and truly ready.

Apparently, there was a blinder of a Liverpool-Arsenal game last night. I saw the goals and just don'tthink Barça are capable of coming close. Let's see if they can hold on to their one-goal advantage tonight!

Part of the Mezquita

 A lifetime ambition to see the Mezquita was totally totally fulfilling.

While I did not visit the museum I took this shot of the outside and promised myself to visit next time. However just wandering around this area was a delight.

Calasparra town in Murcia, Southern Spain, close to San Javier Airport and Alicante airport. Lovely walks, climbing, white water rafting, caves,mountain views, great markets to visit and more

Murcia" book and can spare a few minutes then I'd like to
offer you a reward.

You see, although the second edition of my book is selling stronger
