6 months until christmas eve

Another working week over and, wow, that went quickly.

In years gone by we’d now be mid-season here in Mallorca and when I worked full time as a club DJ, 7 nights a week, 7 hours a night for 7 months, thoughts started to turn to a winter break in a far off land. Obviously that’s not going to happen this year but I appreciate how lucky I am to live on this beautiful island.

I’m not sure what the latest is with the clubs and bars that have been forced to close here in Magaluf. Reports in the press said lawyers are now involved and business owners intend to sue the Balearic government for their quite bizarre decision to victimise the businesses on “The Strip” when any offence that occurred happened in the street. Many people are whispering that ulterior motives are afoot which would not surprise me at all. Knock out a few of those aforementioned businesses and that would open up some ultra prime real estate for another front line luxury hotel worth millions.

My main studio PC is still in the repair shop, haven’t heard a thing in over a week! I’m now scared to ask my tech guy what the damage is likely to be. I’m actually made up with how my laptop is performing. It is a quality machine that I picked up for a bargain price as the guy who was selling it was leaving the island in a hurry. It’s super fast with an i7 processor and great graphics, etc. The only downside is not enough USB inputs, but i’ll live with that for now.

A friend of mine’s dad is here visiting at the moment which meant a night out midweek on a school night. We popped to a fantastic pub near the apartment where I live called Sammy’s Pub to watch the football on Wednesday. Being a lightweight I was back home before full time.

I finished recording Hits & Bits #8 last night and it’ll be uploaded to my Mixcloud page tomorrow morning. It’s the same show that gets broadcast on Radio One Mallorca on Sunday mornings from 08:00 – 10:00

Have a nice weekend.
