I haven't written a blog for a long time, just did some regular challenges, but then, its summer, as I said , not really the season, here, and I've been mostly IN and OUT of the island, but, at the moment I have a very dear friend, visiting from over-seas...yeah everyone who comes here, is from 'overseas- damn it, I DO live on an island....
So, we reviewed and touched base /as a beloved friend of mine likes to say/ for the past couple of days, we visited our favorite places and friends, stashed the fridge with enough of Shandy, regular Heiny, Scotch, Gin, Vodka, lots of lemon, lime, and bags of ice...some local queso de cabra and red wine, Malaga Virgen /you never heard of that....well , too bad/ Francisco, who's got this fab restaurant just up the hills, does the rest of feeding us, and Sir Edward and his Great Dane companion Willson do the rest of Brit-Twit-ol'-Colonial-what's-the-weather-like-casual-crap'!
So, you'll be thinking, like, oh well, its the same old Lila's story of her life...you are right, you know, BUT
Oh YES,
there's a bit BUT, there.... even, though I do not blog lately, I do check up on you guys as much as I can, so last night.....and that's where the title of this blog begins:
...how do you explain to a close friend of yours....what's a blog...who are those people out there...so here it comes:
Lila: Listen, Colleen, I'll just have to check on my gang for a while....won't be long!
Colleen: Oh, we going out, tonight?
Lila: Ummm....errrr....NO!
Colleen: So, then who's the gang?
Lila: Well, ummmm, its really a long story, but, ummm, ok, you may watch, if you want. /what a stupid thing to say..http://planetlila.multiply.com/
Colleen: WATCH!!!!! What in the heaven's name do you mean, Lila?
Now all of you know exactly what I mean, but you should have seen Colleen's face at that moment....it was FUN!
Lila: Hey, come over here.http://planetlila.multiply.com/pointing at the computer in the study/ ...sit, and I'll explain on the way.
Colleen: Oh, you need to check the e-mails, before you see the 'gang'........and you want me to sit and watch while you DO THAT?
Lila: Colleen, just shut up, and sit here! OK?
Colleen, who knows when I steam up, just does what she's told, so we begin......
Lila: See, this is my BLOG!
Colleen: What's a BLOG?
Lila: Never mind, now that....and see those people here...well, they're my gang...my friends...K?

Lila: OMG, I'm sorry....well...at least you know what I meant by 'checking up on my gang' now?
Colleen: I sure did!
While we were getting ready for bed, I felt real guilty, but...then what could I do...so I decided I'll skip the 'checking up on my gang' for a couple of days...then , maybe, one day, when Colleen is out on her own...I'll sneak in again.
The next morning...well....kinda noon, to be exact, while Colleen was preparing coffee and I was just emerging from my bedroom, trying hard not to open my eyes yet...at least not before I had my first sip of coffee, Colleen asked:
- Are we gonna check on those guys and see what they're up to?
