News from the extreme southern correspondent

Can you spot lunch?

Well we did too, but unfortunately the little blighter didn't fancy a dip in a boiling pan of water and hid between the rocks before we could get to him.  We had to opt for the other 'catch of the day' which in this case was squid.

Lots of little fishing villages dotted along the coast in Tenerife. Parents favourite is Tajoa. Very simple eating out, no menus, you just point at the seafood you want that's on display (bit like at the supermarket fish counter) and they prepare it and bring it to the table along with bread, salad and potatoes (chips on this occasion, as on hols). Lunch for 3 including drinks 22euros!

Back in the frozen north now. Disappointed with the lack of snow, no way of blagging a few more days off work. Shame!

Not out this weekend as I'm doing the Kinder Trial on Sat. Looking likely that I should be out Thurs and Sat next week though.
