Back in business again

After a considerable break I am back and will try to do this on a regular basis (weekly hopefully).

First things first.  The excuses.  The reason why I have been blogless recently is due to the phone.  I have swapped mobiles and although the new phone (HTC Touch Diamond) is a cracking phone - it does not blog like the Sony Ericsson did.  So the blogging slowed and eventually stopped.
So what's with the new car?  The Ford Mondeo ST TDCI is a great car, just not a great car for me.  Having swapped the Subaru Legacy 3.0R Spec B Sports Tourer (a truly wicked car!) for the ST TDCI after a few months there were 2 problems.  The first was that there was a problem with the drivers seat which was meaning that I could only sit in it for about 15 mins.  After this length of time it became VERY uncomfortable for me.  The solutions were temporarily a small cushion to sit upon, getting a new carseat or new car.  The second problem was diesel - I just couldn't do it!  The noise, the smell, the unrefined driving - just not for me!  Sorry
So what's with the new car?  The Ford Mondeo ST220 is a truly great car, just the right car for me.  The motor is much more refined than the diesel and the noise is fabulous.  The recaro seats are great, I am finally content with my car.  It has enough space, pace and grace for the whole family.

Just for the record....

The walk back to the room


The morning walk back to the room after breakfast took longer and longer because Thomas found more things to investigate. The pool table was a good place to play with balls to roll and bang.

In the soft play area


As we are flying home today, we are keeping dry. Thomas has enjoyed the change and playing with the toys.

Final Day


The wind has got up fro our final day in Ibiza. There is hardly anyone on the beach and the waves are coming in strong.

The same beach


But a different angle and focus.

More sand investigating



What is this stuff?


On the way to the bar across the beach, Thomas stopped to investigate the sand. Not much went into his mouth! He loved sifting it through his fingers and feeling it between his little toes. A whole new texture for him to experience.

Not in matching outfits but still looking good.
