It's a good thing you haven't gone to Spain to apparently there's a widespread power outage for Spain and Portugal!
Happy holidays.What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?1 -
Hey SA - just a heads up that the Spanish mainland power outages have affected internet connections in Lanzarote - everything is supposed to be operating normally but apparently the emergency services contact number was/is? disabled. I thankfully have mobile data I can use at no additional
cost from lebara/vodaphone but my OH can’t get any signal at all.

Mr SA has already lost the key to his mobility scooter 😞 We’ve had to go out in a taxi tonight 😐 The thing is he hasn’t left the room since we got here and it was on top of the bed then suddenly disappeared! We looked everywhere but couldn’t find it. He’s so blooming careless 😞
Aside from that the hotel is lovely as is the room.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
