So I'm back from Lanzarote.
I'd love to tell tall tales about the wonderful larks and hi-jinks I got up to, and in truth I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy any of it.
But it was not everything it could have been. Holidays that are intensely boring and nauseatingly awkward are, in my newly-created opinion, to be avoided. I would have had more fun staying at work. Holidays which also force one to question the basis of friendships and indeed one's own outlook on life are not worth any number of pristine sea-view apartments.
I'm really, really sad that my overall outlook on the last week and a half is almost completely negative, and I'd like to be able to put a positive spin on things and just pick out the good bits to relate. But that feels dishonest and frankly why should I not tell the truth to people who care enough to ask?

So you won't be going back next year then...

No, I'm fairly sure that if I put my mind to it, I can engineer seven consecutive days of horror for myself on a fraction of the budget, and I needn't endure an eight hour round trip of pure fear on a Flying Death Tube to do it!
How are you, lovely Rachel? Still living it up in your den of iniquity?!

But did you go in the sea and swim with the fishies?
I didn't sleep with the fishies, if that's what you're asking.
But I did go in the sea, twice in fact, and it was very cold and rough indeed! Most disagreeable.
I would reprimand you for describing my house as such, but as usual you are mostly right!
Did I notice a certain eccentric nearly writer may be making a trip to North Yorkshire for a certain, possible secret, birthday lock in?!

I don't think it's much of a secret! But yes, I am 100% in attendance. Might you also be there? It would be the best of the best if you were!
