Down but not out!

Well:  - as we approached the UK House of Commons' third vote on May's ludicrous Brexit proposal  we were out and about in Corralejo - and without access to a news bulletin. We watched Spanish TV news and it gave us the result but using the the verb rechazar which defeated us, as did a series of double negatives in the subtitles. Bob had to leap on the bike and go home to sort this out! So, as expected, we get a stay of execution!
We caught up with each other at Paradise - a renamed establishment in the refurbished Hoplaco Gardens area, where on Friday afternoons there is now a jamming session that has replaced the old Pescaditos event. Greyrocks enjoys it, and it is generally poplar with players and punters alike. 

On this occasion it really was only fit for players! They were huddled in the roofed area playing for each other, as the demolition of the aged apartment block on the street reached a critical point, and the noise and dust was barely tolerable in the outside drinking area. Great company as ever, but not a place to linger!

By today it is just a compacted heap of rubble (the apartment block. that is:- not the bar, and watching the UK go that way is only funny if you aren't a Brit ex-pat in Europe!

Note: rechazar translates as "reject"
