A lovely day. I'm getting stuck into designing the Gibraltar website.
Jane's actually down there toiling away. Instead of letting her have a lunch hour yesterday she was under orders to take photo's.
Main Street is bustling with shoppers. It's a lovely street. When we first visited Gibraltar we weren't too keen on the place. We enjoyed visiting the Barbary Macaques and St Michael's caves but weren't exactly overwhelmed by the overall appearance. One evening we were sitting in Main Street people watching. We saw so many people of different races and religions all strolling leisurely along happily co-existing that we suddenly realised what a special place Gibraltar is. Now we can see passed the ugly blocks of apartments with washing hanging out of the windows and the scruffy back streets. They don't really matter. Gibraltar is special because of the people who live there and the people who visit there daily either as tourists or frontier workers.

Last night I enjoyed watching the Champions League final.
Manchester United beat Chelsea in Moscow. A great game.
I saw this today which made me laugh. 
You do have to feel for poor John Terry, so near ... Anelka looked like he couldn't care less. Time for another transfer? His brother (his agent) and Mr Anelka are very clever. He's had lots transfers for tens of millions a time. I just hope Newcastle don't sign him. He's a talent if you can motivate him but what a mercenary.
Jane got back and we went to feed the donkeys. I'd cooked a corned beef hash. I'm not exactly sure what you do to beef to turn it into 'corned' beef, I'll have to 'Google' it when I have time. Anyway it tastes good especially with onions, tomatoes and slices of potato casseroled in an oven.
