Snafu Ibiza

Take a look at this

It's San Jose's new look high street. Recently completed at a budget cost of €384,000 using Central Government money from PlanE, it was opened with a flourish in an official ceremony by the mayor and representatives from the Government.

Doesn't it look great with brand new benches, saplings and planters with olive trees and lavender. It's even got a parking lane for anyone wanting to nip into the new shops and offices constructed by a private developer (rumoured to be a relative of the last mayor) 

The only problem is that over four years after the project started with the destruction of a perfectly good copse of pine trees, it still looks like an unfinished building site.

Old barriers, oil drums, rocks, debris and rubble litter the area and drain pipes poke out of the walls dripping liquid onto the floor. In a real country health and safety would have a field day, here, it'll be like this for at least another year.

Merry Christmas from Ibiza

We'd like to be the first to wish everyone a very merry Christmas twenty-ten!

We hope it's as good for you as ours in two thousand and nine! We're still here aren't we?

Cala Moli: You've Been Framed

If you've been observing my Tweets on Twitter, you are
a. under 100 years old
b. under employed
and will have noticed my daily snapshots not worthy of a full blown blog post.

One of them was a really blustery day at Cala Moli which actually rates a few seconds of video, mainly because it illustrates one of the unwritten laws of photography,

which is that when you don't want a dog to appear on a video, it will. Conversely, when you've just lined up a belting shot of your cute pooch, it will turn round just as the shutter clicks and all you've got is a great photo of its arse!

The dog was Floyd, who was not harmed during the making of the video.
