Heart Attack Hill!

We popped into Barloko, after I finished work.  We don`t get down to The GA Centre much these days, as we are working every day.  It was nice to see Roger, who has been a great source of inspiration for both myself and Darrell, since we moved tp Espana. Roger has always given great advice, telling us exactly how it is here.  Roger is a gentle soul, I know he wont mind me saying that, who has lived in GA a long time.  He started off, rather like we did, and he now owns the most successful bar in Gran Alacant.  It is always a pleasure to see him.

We grabbed a bite to eat, from Get Fresh.  Pizza for Darrell and I had a madrass curry. The curry was delicious.  I had a couple of drinks, a quick chat and just relaxed on the terrace, on a hot May evening.

If you are ever in Gran Alacant, you really must go to Barloko.  It is a welcomming venue, the first one we went to, when we arrived.  It is an expat haven, where the great and good from the area meet.  It really is a home from home and we always enjoy our time at 'Rogers Place'......

Darrell dropped me off down Carabassi, on the way home.  Jamie was working at Brothers and I was meeting Natalee down there after work.  The Pianoman, Tony was playing down also, which was a bonus, as I really enjoy his music.

Now I rarely get drunk these days, but last night I did.  Red wine, beer, bloody Mary's and various cocktails.  I stumbled home at about 1am, not long after Natalee arrived.  I know when enough is enough, so left to walk home, up 'Heart Attack Hill', as the locals call it.  Apparently, people have died on that journey and after last night, I can see why. Going up a mountain, in the dark, with a deep casm on one side, was an extremely bad idea..  It was dark, I was drunk and deviated from the rocky path, heading for the sheer drop on the other side.  Luckily, I slipped and fell, before I reached the end.  I was able to get my bearings, after lying there for twenty minutes, and eventually, after falling several more times, reached the top, and home!

Today I am battered and bruised, have a sore eye, having had to pull out a piece of shrubbery from my eye socket, covered in scratches and have one pair of ripped jeans. I had a great night though, so it was all worth it!

​Have a great weekend y'all.  Peace and love, as always!
