No Hay Rebajas Aqui And Catch Up

Happy Thursday!

While Spain’s great for somethings, sunshine, olive oil, tapas, big sale discounts is one thing I discovered it’s not. I’ve mentioned before sale discounts aren’t much here. Normally 20-30% which isn’t to be sniffed at, but the big discounts of 40-60% are normally reserved for the non Spanish retailers or it’s only department store El Corte Ingles. As most European high street shops are owned by Spanish Inditex, big discounts only occur towards the end of August on stock nobody really wants. I’m beginning to think this year the sales have been and gone without me noticing.

Even non Spanish stores I’ve noticed this summer have fewer discounts, fewer sale signs in windows. Maybe the big discounts are all on online. I haven’t really looked online as the shops are just down the road, (more…)

Mid/Late Spring Zoo Photos Part 1

Illa Fantasia Parc Aquatic And Weekend Catch Up

Do not wear cheeky bikini bottoms at water parks. Wedgies may occur on slides as you’re kicked off into the plunge pools. Just something I found out this weekend! Beach siesta

I hope you’re having a great week so far! The heat’s been turned up this week and I think that’s how it’s going to stay for the next 3-4 months. Absolutely fine with me!

This past Saturday we went to the Illa Fantasia parc aquatic about a 25 minute drive away. Earlier in the week cycling to gym I was daydreaming about the crazy river (more…)

Weekend Friday Favourites

I read about people saying they have mum guilt, leaving kids going to work and feeling guilty for leaving them, but does anyone else experience cat mum or cat you’re my human guilt? I swear it’s legit. My cats can be sound asleep for a few hours yet 10 minutes before I leave they start to get active, want attention, food, give me looks that make me feel bad I’m daring to leave. 9 times out of 10 without fail they do it. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Anyways, Weekend Friday Favourites, things that have made me smile or caught my eye the past few weeks as I missed last weeks.
