Is it me (Part 2)

"Buenos Dias" I said in my best Spanish and then reverting to English "Is that the marina?"

"It is Senor" came the reply

"Good" I said," you asked me to call on the 12th when my contract expired to see if I could stay longer."

"Would you like to stay another month Senor?"

"Yes please"

"That's fine Senor, it is done"

..........I wonder what happened since the 8th that made it so easy? Oh well, problem solved until next month!

Is it Me?

I had a really weird conversation with the marina people today. When we booked in they said we couldn't stay past March 12th - which is fair enough. So I rang today to see how the situation was and if things had maybe changed, and if we could extend our stay at all.

To my surprise the answer was that they couldn't tell me until the morning of the 12th when my booking expired, so I had to ring before midday to find out.

I explained I was in the UK, so if the boat needed moving I couldn't do it without any notice - II would need a few days extra on the mooring whilst I organised a flight out. "That's OK" they said.

So I can stay for a bit longer then - if only a few days? I said

"Can't tell you until the 12th" they said

Is it me!
