Lenny's Heading South, not a Clue Where.

[Wanders from Glos]

Only works in the UK.
I suppose I could try downloading the Spainish one.

The lady in Lidl here in Portugal fiddled with the app on our behalf and it now works here. Should be interesting when we get back to the Uk changing it back.

I've just changed the country to Spain, whish I'd known that before spending €100 this morning.

There is nothing pleasant about 33ºC

He's too hot that's why all his skylights are open lol. I bet he's still pale blue tae

I'm blond & fair skinned and burn easy but love it.

That's grey uncle Lenny HB

It's nearly 30 years since we last went, and I'm sure it was a lot cheaper then.

But ..... it was an amazing place. Very atmospheric. (it's been both an Islamic mosque and a Christian cathedral).

No point in visiting Cordoba without visiting the Mezquita-Catedral. It would be like going to Granada and shunning the Alhambra.

It's only money! Admittedly, quite a lot of it!

I've done both lol.

Nice view of alhambra from the free parking spot on the hill behind it.

Jesus nearly had a heart attack just found out how much it is to go in the mosque.

Surely that should be

"Allah nearly had a heartattack" ?


Selam allacuse

It gets better on to the Alcazar, entry free for wrinkles, obviously not enough wrinkles had to show ID to prove age.

How come the wrinklies get free access to things they could have seen being built and us young ones have to pay up
Its an outrage .


What was it like when the Romans were here uncle Lenny HB

 

[Northernraider]

Made a mistake with the main today, it was just fried chicken, rather a lot of it. Mi could only manage half of hers and I was too stuffed to finish it for her.

Doggy bag . Have it for supper

 

[Peavy]

just remind me. where does the rain fall in Spain?

Where I live it never rains, we have been in perpetual drought for several years now.
When I was a child it rained sometimes, now it hardly rains.

Doggy bag . Have it for supper

I always carry small plastic bags for that purpose, we are in Greece atm and the local cats are grateful. We also have a fox that comes by every morning so he gets leftovers as well

Is a good thing, you're helping the local economy

The Lidl app is good in France, too. It actually gives discounts on things that you want, rather than icing-coated do-nuts like the UK one does.
I guess they analyse your shopping habits better.

I've got 4 Euros off my next Lidl France spend.

I don't know whether it's because of the better exchange rate, but France doesn't seem so expensive this year .

Free Pastel de Nata in Portugal

 

[Lenny HB]

We enjoyed watching Michael Portillo's series on Andalusia (C5), and the last episode was on Carmona as that is where his home is - it looked like another lovely town to visit.

Watching it now before wandering down to the town.
Thanks for the heads up.

I didn’t feel the heat when you were on the phone to me last night Lenny, it was cold here….

You just have to go in settings and change country in same app. In Spain only available in Spanish.
Weirdly a whole page of posts was invisible to me until I posted this. Too late as always

Cold in the morning here only 25°

Yesterday we had 34°c probably the worst night since we left home just before Easter

Cooler today 26°c apparently
Wonderful as we have to walk from the aire uphill to collect our car, tonight is our last night in the hot box, home tomorrow night can't wait missed the air-conditioning and swimming pool.
Back to a normal life.
Lidl app we go into settings and change it in every country . Bob.

Wonder when Carrefour will catch up?
Last time told you can't use spanish card/app in France?
kfc & McD's apps are also country dependent.In the Uk it will not even allow loading of the uk app to my spanish phone ,I assume as it recognises that it is a foreign sim?

wasn't good here either.Today started even worse.Went for a walk early on in a T shirt.Got about 100m before I realised that I should have put a vest on. Far too hot.
