When reading the paper last night it was stated that at 0518 hrs Tuesday morning 25th March there was an earthquake measuring 4.4 on the Richter scale which apparently, thank heavens did little or no damage. It would appear that a small number of population did feel and notice but for us tucked up in bed, absolutely nothing.
Jennifer decided to do the washing today in a Hotpoint washer with not instructions and the machine has lots of knobs and buttons but somehow she overcame the challenges and everything seemed to go well. Today when writing this blog Noel downloaded the instructions for the next time its used, perhaps we should have done this the first time round. Apart from this excitement the day passed quite peacefully what with the sun shining on the balcony and although the temperature was on about 17C the sun was burning your skin if you were not to careful. Lunch was pent sitting on th balcony with Spanish Iberica ham together with French brie, nothing like being an international foodie.
For dinner in the evening we enjoyed cod with rice and prawns and broccoli washed down with the last remaining chardonnay and then an evening watching some TV. There are so many films on Netflix sometime you don't know where to start and so we ended up watching a fil we had seen before with Dustin Hofmann called the runaway jury with Gene Hackman RIP playing his part so well. Following the film there was another recent Peter Santenello film about another area of Florida called St Augustine which we visited some years ago on one of USA trips.

Its one of the oldest towns in the USA and steeped in history what with the Brits, Spanish and Portuguese all playing there part. Some of the building are quite beatiful and one building in earlier times had the largest indoor swimming pool ever but now in later years converted in to a restaurant. Well worth watching.
We have also been watching the fun and games re Elon Musk and the burning and damaging of Tesla cars, stupid people as they don't realise that the car records video of their actions so make it easier for the police to catch them. Also the release of some private chat and laughing at the Europeans has not gone down with the EU Government but it does rightly reflect the state of the EU. Also what with Mr Starmerarma offering to police the border between Russia and Ukraine with British troops is a bloody joke as we cannot stop a bunch of immigrants on a rubber dinghy arriving in Dover. So please tell me how the British troops will do this. U may need to bring back conscription for all cultures in the UK, that will send a lot of them packing.
Thats my moan for today
