Disaster StrikesCastellón!

Well, been awa for the weekend, which was nice. I went back to Manchester
to see Mark and my family, as well as going to go and see Little Britain at
The Apollo in Ardwick. Little Britain was very very funny, and I loved it
to pieces! Make me titter all night!

Then we caught the bus to Swinton and had a curry in the Far Pavilion. My
god, curry there is *so* nice! It's even nicer when you've not had one in
months! I couldn't eat it all though, and some nobheads came in creating,
so we went and paid the bill and walked home.

Then on Sunday morning we went to see Nana Pauline in hospital. She seemed
ok, not as bad as I thought she would be. Her speech is slurred, and
sometimes she seemed a bit distance. She was a bit upset too when she saw
me, I guess because she hadn't seen me in months, and she may have thought
that she never would again. She was all tearful too when it came to me
having to go home. Like I said, I'll see her at Christmas. She's only 66,
so she should be ok, touch wood!

A couple of days before I went home, it had rained for ages in Castellón,
29 hours of heavy torrential rain. They closed the roads near the factory,
and we had to try and find a different way home, which was a pain in the
ass. It rained all weekend (apparently) and it's rained like mad since 7
this morning. There was some forked lightning all around us, and as the
factory is right near the mountains, we get the full force of it all. All
of a sudden, the electric went off. We had to sit in near-darkness for 15
mins. Then it came back on again, then went off for two minutes, and it's
been on ever since. The lights keep flickering though. The rain was
horrendous, it was worse than water coming from a shower! So the roads
flooded again, so we weren´t able to go home at dinner and had to get
butties from a small café nearby.

I think it's all ok now though. But we'll see if the rain holds off!
