Me and Amy have just booked our first holiday of the year. And I’m pretty happy because it’s the only thing I’ve got to look forward to now that I’ve finished with uni! That’s where you go “awwww”.

We’re joining my dad, his mrs and their kids in a villa in the Alicante/Valencia region of Spain for a week.

Nothing but sun, beaches, bbqs and beer I hope (with a bit of luck I’ll catch a Valencia game).

But most of all I’m looking forward to spending some uninterrupted, stress-free time with my dad and step-mum, as well as laying around doing nothing for a week with Amy. She’ll be the first one to tell you that I need a serious tan.

On a sour note, I can’t believe that £29.99 flights with Jet2 shoot up to £200 each after adding baggage, fuel supplements, taxes and every mundane, little charge that they can think of which they don’t tell you about until you’re about a second away from pressing confirm. Tut.

Oh well, who cares, a month today I’ll be in Valencia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night I said to my mother something along the lines of “I’m going upstairs to sort something on the inter-web”.

She looked at me with a blank stare and then said…

“So what’s the difference between the internet and the interweb?”

After this, she tried to redeem herself. I reminded her of the time on The Simpsons where Homer decides to start up an internet company only to sit at a desk and say “Wow, they have the Internet on computer these days” (at a time when the internet was ONLY on computers). To this my mother replied, “Yeah, but what about those web boxes?”

What the hell is a web box?

It was all very funny. Made all the more funny by claims she knows what shes talking about because she’s had to go on computer courses for work.

I just hope in 20/30 years time my kid isn’t using his computer (or whatever they’ll have then) to document just how out-of-touch I am from the world of technology.
