    Pretty depressing day. My dearest friend has not achieved progress in her fight against stage 4 cancer, despite costly treatments twice weekly in Madrid. And now another friend has admitted that his prostate cancer is actually not as “light” as he led me to believe. Plus awful train crash in southern Spain. Uff. Not the greatest Monday.

    “Suculento/a” is much used in Spain when giving compliments to the cook, hopefully 🤞

    Thank you so much! Trying to get the details correct was time consuming. How @Mark Arbour has done it for years in his Bridgemont series is amazing.

    Oh yes, I was a disco diva in younger days! I even shook hands with the cowboy from Village People in a huge club in London in the 80s.

    By chance or design, it was now December 26, St Stephen’s Day, a special anniversary in Ximo’s story. He and the guys had met up a couple of times for dinner, either in the bar or in Jack and Joan’s rental cottage and he had shared his story as promised. After he finished described that day with Gerardo, over fifty years ago, Ximo fell silent. He let his arm fall and gently stroked the young dachshund at his side. Neither Jack nor Joan spoke for a while. Jack shared out the remains of the b

    To be revealed in due course! Remember at the start it mentioned Ximo’s political tendencies…

    It was definitely good to be back in my lovely, little (okay, not so little) apartment. I had wanted to rush back at first light but that would have been strange. Also, my father had driven me down into the centre as I had quite a lot of luggage, far more than I had arrived with on Christmas Eve, all those new goodies they had bought for me! I wondered about that. We had loaded the car with the presents, plus bags of goodies from the kitchen; my parents’ cook had been with them for years a

    Yep, spot on Andy! I love how Troy’s stories have the ability to go from the mundane to out and out passion almost in the same sentence! Great stuff.

    At first it seemed surprising to read the phrase, but in the club/pub/college world it was what people did when I was younger. Perhaps we read too much into it?

    I had got up early the next day and packed a few things into a backpack. As I put my present for my mother into a pocket, I realised that I still had to get my father something. Although like most people we celebrated “Los Reyes” on the 6th January as the day to exchange gifts, rather than Father Christmas or Santa Claus on the 25th, nevertheless, in our family we had always given a small present during dinner on Christmas Eve. As a child that meant I always had a game or toy to play with over t

    I spent the afternoon lazing around the apartment, pondering on what Gerardo had told me. I did not doubt his story; the sincerity in his eyes told me that he was telling the truth. I feared, however, that there was worse to come. As we parted, he told me that he was on duty all over the Christmas period, a ‘present’ from the dear coronel. However, on the 26th, a big feast day in Barcelona, he would be free and promised to ring me. It was frustrating to both of us that I couldn’t call him at th
