I've been remiss.
I usually am.
Although I belong to the "Bah! Humbug!" category of Christmas celebrators, this is no reason not to wish everyone else who reads this a happy celebration, or happy holidays. So, best wishes to you all.
In other news, Significant Other has just this minute suggested that we invest our money in a bar named "Ayi!" (the Spanish equivalent of "ouch!"), which has remained unsold for 35 years since the previous landlady was arrested for chopping her clients up into little bits.
Beautiful picture. And a murder bar sounds like a great business (ad)venture, though I don't think I would call it a "murder bar." At least not at first. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteInto little bits? Ayi! Hope you are enjoying the cold! xx
ReplyDeleteps - and not as remiss as me!
ReplyDeleteHe plans to offer tapas....?
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for the hols.
Best not to offer meat pies. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDelete@ Chris: The picture is from a Christmas visit to the UK last year. Thanks to snow and ice, getting home was complicated! A murder bar would be interesting, wouldn't it?
ReplyDelete@ Ellie: Hope you're having a nice one. Don't know what it's like in Madrid (thank heavens, no family visits this year), but it's lovely and sunny here.
@ Fly: We'd obviously have to choose the tapas carefully, as Coco says, no meat pies or other unidentifiable objects. Hope you're having a nice time, surrounded by beautifully carolling birds....
@ Coco: Quite. She was suspected of serving up parts of her victim (I later discovered there was only one, an abusive partner), but I reckon that was just urban legend. Happy Christmas!
Did you ever read "The World According to Garp" by John Irving? In it,a man buys a house that an airplane has just crashed into. He reasoned that nothing bad could ever happen there again. You could use the same logic on the bar!
ReplyDeletesolution to the fashion site...it's on the comments section of my last Costa Rica post.
ReplyDeleteAy, que cosas! Seriously? Well, why not? Maybe you could make a theme bar, the macabre seems to sell pretty well. ;)
ReplyDeleteHmm that doesn't sound such a good idea... I didn't realise that Ayi meant Ow until we helped with our friends grape harvest for the first time. I overheard one of the lads saying to his friend that he wasn't sure he wanted to be working too close to me, as I wouldn't understand what Ayi meant... when I snipped his finger by mistake. I just told him to say Ow! instead!
