Day 6009 (16/06/2026)

Day two of our holiday, and we had a nice nights sleep, on a very comfortable mattress.  We were up and went for a lovely breakfast selection.

Then we spent the day relaxing in the sun, by and in the pool (or pools). 

We even tried the indoor pool, jacuzzi & sauna. 

And had a nice meal at the hotel.

Then another wander around. 

Day 6008 (15/06/2026)

Day one of our holiday and we were up fairly early, getting ready and leaving for the airport, for a short holiday (I know we were only on holiday last month but it’s just the way Mrs Smith’s annual leave worked out). 

We drove up to Bristol airport, and the queue's for baggage drop off and security weren't too bad, so we had time for a relaxing breakfast.

Thankfully the plane wasn't full, so we had the row of seats to ourselves. 

Passport control at Palma wasn't too bad but we ended up waiting an hour for our bags, and then waited for the transfer to the hotel, then on the coach, which was thankfully air-conditioned, which to another hour, but the hotel and area are very lovely and worth the hassle of getting here. 

We checked in to hotel and had a very nice room, in Sunrise, and then had an explore around. 

With a nice view from the balcony. 

We had a nice meal at the hotel and then a walk around the area and a look at all the pools at the hotel.

Day 6006 & 6007 (13 & 14/06/2026)

I was up early-ish in the office, doing a few things, then out watering the garden and hanging out the washing, as it was a lovely sunny day, then we had a nice brunch.

We were doing a few things at home as we needed to get things ready for going away next week.  In the afternoon we had a nice cup of tea and cake in the garden. 

Definitely going to spend more time enjoying the garden from now on, not just spending time watering it and tidying it up every spring.  

In the evening we had a really nice Indian take away. 

Sunday I saw my parents for breakfast. My Dad was a bit bruised following last weeks fall but was much better than he could have been. 

Then home to watch the motor racing and get ready for going away and we finished the curry for dinner.  

Day 6005 (12/06/2026)

Had a few things to do at home, then we went out to do a bit of shopping and we had a nice lunch at a local garden centre, then had a walk around.

Then home to set up my new iPad, which I have bought so I can do writing when I'm away, including next week when I'm on holiday.   

Then after popping to see my Mum & Dad we got some fish & chips, which were really nice. 

Then I went out to try a new charger on a low tariff time, which seemed to go OK.
