….. so to cheer myself up I thought I’d have a look at some piccies from our last stay in Surfugal.
These olive pots are HUGE …. over 6 feet tall. They were on display outside a shop selling ceramics.
This life sized goddess was across the yard from her gentleman friend.
He wanted to show me his dog …… gosh, I was soooooo excited. [These figures were made from 6" tiles - I think they dated from early last century.]
Anyhoo, Lo is a terrible Goddess bought a small yet surprisingly expensive little jug which was made by a recently deceased potter – before he died ………. obviously. Could be an investment I suppose. I tried to increase the rarity value by crashing into the display but the owner of the shop was surprisingly nimble and quite a good juggler. Perhaps next time …….
*ATCHOOOOO!!!!!!!* …… oh poo, the lappytop needs cleaning now …… have a lovely weekend ……………….. I won’t.

(It’s official – Peabrain is at death’s door. At least. Or he will be soon if he doesn’t stop being so disgusting; groaning, flailing [yes, flailing] and wilting. And lemon balm tissues ['my nose is sooo sore - I need special tissues'] everywhere, the contents of which are displayed with pride. Aaaargh. Lo,TG Ed)
Match of the Day

Ok, I give up.
I’ve spent ages trying to work out your ‘guess the missing word/s’ competition.
Is it:
I’ve got a cold laptop? Goddess? Travel agent? Beer?
@Lo,TG: Groaning, flailing and wilting you say? Could he be practising for his upcoming audition as Hamlet’s ghost?
The ghost of a cigar? …… brilliant! *atchoo*
Are the pots for olive storage, olive oil, or are they made with olive oil for other food stuffs?
That’s a very good question – I’ve always assumed for storing olive oil. I suppose they could be used for storing goddesses called Olive …… *shrugs*
It’d take a big cork to stop them if they’re bottles…but they are pretty. (did I say pretty ((looks)) yep, I did)
I think covered in cloth ….. or not ….. perhaps flies add to the quality …..
Hope you’re feeling better soon DP – I’ll see if I have any spare screen-wipes to send you….
I think I need a bucket actually …… oooo, can you get Tena pads for nostrils?
A couple of tampons would do the job right smart.
I have done that in the past …… when I was young and foolish …….
That’s alot of Olive Oil! Do you think they do smaller bottles as I wouldn’t fit it my cupboard…..?
Sparkly!!!! I’m sorry about the delay in approving you but I’m not receiving email notifications from Wordpress at the moment …….. anyhoo no, that’s the only size available in the larger size …..
I am liking the tile people … next time you are over that way just pop one in your luggage for me ta!!!
I hope what you have isn’t a computer borne virus *sprays keyboard with Dettox*…. ooo pretty sparks … whoops !!
I could be viral!!!! …… *puts box on head*
*puts on rubber gloves*
*ATCHOO* …… sorry ……
Don’t worry – it’s just hayfever.
I suffer too, all you need do is hold your breath ’til October.
The stuff that is coming out of my right nostril puts that theory to the test ….. I think my brain might be melting ….. do you want to look at my hanky?
There, There. I just fed Gertrude for you. We don’t want to give a virus to a llama, do we.
Thank you Archie – the thought of Gertrude getting a cold is too horrible to think about – the last time he sneezed he broke a window.
I have some friends who moved to Spain and bought a property – it is an old olive mill and they had some of those pots and the old mill itself – they have donated them to the village and they stand in the plaza!!! How to get in with the locals eh????
Get well soon SnuffleDaddy!!!!
Smart move!!! …… *sniffle*
Beautiful photos. I hope you feel better soon.
Hello Kathy ……. feeling better just seeing you!!!!
Feel better, and please don’t wipe your hands on your pants after you sneeze, ok? No, using your sleeve as a wipe doesn’t work either!
Have you got eyes in the back of your computer!!!?! …… whoops
