About Me

My photo
I'm Jo. I used to be a 25 year old and spent my weeks working in Malaga city and my weekends at my house in Marbella. I shared my house with Snoop and Copi the dogs, 1 rat, Gizmo and Pitbull the bunnies and various fish. There was a man about the house but his status changed too often to make it official on here. Now, I'm 30 years old and spend my weeks working in the wonderful world of aeroplanes and my weekends pottering around the countryside in West Sussex. I still share my house with Snoop and Copi, and the addition of Shadow the Spaniel, Puss & Rodney the cats, and a stroppy horse named Murphy. There is an official man around the house who shares the same name as me. He is marginally better looking than me.

Oh Christmas Tree

I have just spent 7 1/2 minutes decorating the office Christmas Tree. It is my job every year as the self appointed Christmas Fairy to do so. Last year it took me a darn sight longer, as I had a much more complex job coordinating several strings of lights, tinsel and various baubles.

Thanks to the War of the Restaurant (long story stemming from last year), this year we have been left with half a wonky Christmas tree and one solitary, sorry looking pink bauble. I sent Carlos out to Carrefour in Estepona yesterday to buy some adornments, and he returned with 12 baubles, 4 shiny gold stars and 2 foil wrapped presents to hang on my wonky tree (it would seem that Carrefour only has one stand of Christmas decorations left - we are one week away from Christmas Day after all).

I think if I had some lights to work with the tree would look quite pretty. Alas, I am left with the leaning tower of Christmas past and some faded baubles hung sporadically around the random branches.
