Blowin' In The Wind

Is it normally this bad? I don't remember it being so. Pollen. All over the damn place. The terrace looks like the tide's been in and deposited a load of sand. It gets inside. Open the car window and the black leather trim is blasted to take on the appearance of an abstract painting, all streaks and bits of yellow and green. Whoever thought that those holes in the leather would look cool didn't take into account the insinuative nature of Mallorcan pollen. Don't they have trees and bushes and stuff in Japan?

Perhaps it's the summer in winter we've been having. At times it has been pretty damn hot, so thanks God there's a storm brewing and some rain will come. Only problem then is that the pollen will turn to glue. Oh and one other thing. Washing. Put the washing out, and you know that white t-shirt. Looks like the whole of the Norwich City kit - shirt and shorts.

But to other matters, and something of a celebration as the blog now starts to spread its wings. Can a blog have wings? Maybe not. Whatever. It's like Cheers spawning Frasier or some such. Blog - the spin-off. My good friends at Majorcan Villas have given their site a make-over and there now is BlogMV, as I've dubbed it. So long as I don't get too bogged down with doing specialist in meat ads, it could be there will now be two regular different blogs, or similar blogs, and maybe exactly the same if I am struggling for time. But then it wouldn't be like a spin-off. So I'll try my best to keep them different. The link to Majorcan Villas, and therefore Blog MV, is in the links menu.

And just one final thing. Today's "Bulletin". Back page. Headline. "Wacky Races". Reference to the Classic Car Rally that I spoke about on 1 March and in which I used the wacky races line. I don't know, am I becoming like "The Bulletin"?

And one final, final thing. I was doing these labels things that go with each entry, and put in Pollen and then Pollensa. How about that? Pollen-saaaahh. Atchoo!
