    The Joys of Unexpected Shopping!

    Spring is finally in the air and there is a lot of work to be done as we prepare the villa for it's first season as a holiday rental in Antequera and yesterday (Monday) was the day for our big shopping day out on the Costa Del Sol.

    We needed a full set of bathroom fittings for the planned power shower room so a full tour of Bathroom and DIY shops was in prospect but fortunately Leroy Merlin proved equal to the task of satisfying the fabulous but demanding taste of Ursula, my wife, on the budget of, well, not a pauper, but certainly not a prince!

    This gave me a chance to sneak off to the nearby record store and stock up on a few bargains, one of which was the Madness singles compilation, "Heavy Heavy Hits" , rare on Amazon but here a snip for 7 Euros!

    23 UK hit singles in 7 years, many of them sublime (House of Fun, Shut Up, My Girl's Mad At Me, Our House) is a pretty impressive record by anybody's standards and many of these songs are genuine classics.
