Just as it was getting light one morning, I could hear a commotion outside in the garden. Being on the ground floor, I popped onto our terrace to have a look. Two coaches had just arrived, bringing holiday makers from the airport. Whilst one half of a couple went in to register, the second member went to the swimming pool, and taking two towels from his/her flight bag, proceeded to drape them across two sunbeds before going into the building. This had not gone un-noticed by other people in the apartments, so we quickly gathered up all the towels and dumped them in the swimming pool. The uproar the next morning was hilarious when the would-be sunbathers found that they had no-where to lie and had to claim their towels from a soggy mass dumped on the public footpath outside the complex ! I won't actually say where they came from, but, sorry, Librarian would have been mortified !Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-60880258656777867382016-07-07T18:16:15.912+01:002016-07-07T18:16:15.912+01:00I trust that you never reserved a sunbed Mrs Weave...I trust that you never reserved a sunbed Mrs Weaver...

Up until now I was convinced that this truly bad, bad habit was entirely German - I've never practiced it myself (and would not dream of it!) but it's such a cliché about my co-nationals that I thought it must be true and nobody else does that.<br /><br />The bell tower looks as if there has been an earthquake at some stage.<br />I wonder whether the old people did enjoy being "picturesque" - it was a hard, sometimes very hard, life that made them look the way they did, and most elderly people will be glad they are not forced by the unspoken rules of their society to walk around in black clothes or with donkeys anymore. Instead they can dress as nicely (or not) as everyone else and whizz about in their cars like all the other people.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-8861510941462718982016-07-07T05:04:44.478+01:002016-07-07T05:04:44.478+01:00Yay for giving all those towel jerks a figurative ...Yay for giving all those towel jerks a figurative two finger salute as you left! :)<br /><br />I'm glad your holiday was nice but sorry you missed seeing all the lovely picturesque old people. <br /><br />I'm also glad you're back.
