Spanish rehab thrournal (1 Viewer)

[bobnick]

Just a quick query to readers.

I note there are about 35 viewers of the thread whilst it is at the top of what's new.
When it gets to the bottom there are 10 or so.
I can't believe that it's possible to read this thread for more than 20 seconds unless completely new to the thread as you just click the link to read the journal

However, after a day of various numbers reading the thread at different times there are only 30 views of the newest journal entry which doesn't quite make sense to me. The older journals within this journal are about 100 and my previous journals which have been there a year are into high hundreds last time I checked.

Is anyone doing anything different to clicking on the link ? Just interested

Have to say, due to really bad receptions where we have been i have only opened a few of your posts. I will be doing when i get decent reception.
For me to put pics up it takes forever

We stayed at simat and went to the free monastery about a pitching wedge away.
It was started in 1298 and various bits at various times were added including being overseen by the Borgas. It fell into disrepair and was bought by Valencia who have... https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/journals/tintins-adventures-in-santamaria-de-valldigna.443/

Stunning via verde.

Quick walk round the picturesque village and getting bread from the shop revealed a lovely little village.
When we paid our 2 euros in the bar we think he told us the swimming pool wasn't open so whether that is included in your 2 euros or not... https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/journals/tunnel-counting-on-via-verde-prat-de-comte.444/

A via verde, lovely hilltop town and superb looking hidden rock pools to swim in.
(Temperature permitting)

We stayed overnight at the train station at Prat de Comte which is 8 km and 15 minute drive or hours cycle back to the town. Hilly and winding.
No trouble staying there and a German wohnmobile did the same. We saw some french we met the day... https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/journals/station-of-prat-de-comte-to-horta-de-saint-joan.445/

Plovdiv is great, if you can try to get to the old capital Veliko Tornavo.

Been to Bulgaria a couple of times but never got to Plod yet. DiL father was born and raised there, he will take us around.
Bansko is our favourite at the mo.

There was a thread running recently about Bulgaria.

Just an update of no journal entry today, we shot off early from Esteve, did some shopping at LaJonquera which we thought was expensive, took the slow road past Perpignan and Narbonne before landing at marseillan plage for 5 euros a night spending afternoon at beach and downloading Teams for my interview in the morning where I try and get back to work.
I LL be pushing for return to full duties (12 hours days and nights)just no body armour. I suspect they will agree to that apart from 12 hours.

Return to duty, as police or military?

Return to duty, as police or military?

Looking after students at Uni, but it's Easter so only 2,000 or so rather than 20,000.
I have a retired major, rsm, lieutenant and a sniper (who has joined my team since illness). I don't quite know how to utilise him best yet.

Well, I know that I want to read the journal when I have a nice quiet time to myself so I click on the thread just to see if any news headlines and then save the journal for later.

OH interview went really well. Back to work on Thursday straight into 12 hour shifts. Body armour exempt for long periods.
Well chuffed.
So close to touching ankles this morning as well.
