    Am I just a miserable old git- I hate this time of year

    Wow. Really sad to hear about all the problems you have had. Hope you can start recovering soon.

    18 holes regularly all the year round for me. We choose to play 9 holes or not play at all if it is very windy. That is much more often than rain. Rainy weather is infrequent so it hardly ever stops us playing. Mind you, when it rains it is normally very heavy.

    You really do get used to it. Also, if you live near the coast it can be cooler in the summer. Compared to inland areas. Some inland areas of southern Spain are ridiculously hot in the summer.

    For the warm and sunny winters. To get those you have to put up with the hot summers.

    You should try living through the spring, summer and autumn in the south of Spain. Hayfever and heat. After a few years you feel that it is cold when you go back to visit people In England in the summer.

    Sorry for picking on one minor imperfection in what was a thorough, well thought out and appreciated post..... Might he be singing the Lindisfarne song, Make Me Want To Stay?

    @Otto42 as well. Now it is now any Málaga home match in the season sorting out a date might be easier. As you say, perhaps an international weekend might be feasible. Depending on whether Málaga are at home or not.

    Agreed about my divorce as well. Although I was only single in London, not Asia. I took up golf quite some time after getting divorced. A few years after I had met my second super-boss. Not long after we got married. Almost 30 years golfing for the two of us now. At the start I did say that if...

    2024-25 FMTTM get together in Málaga?

    The original plan was for us to watch Málaga against UD Almería at Málaga. That was a few years ago. Covid, promotions and relegations have got in the way of that now. Málaga is not too much over 2 hours drive away from Jaén. Also about the same time and distance from where I live. As people...
