A big win on the lottery would pay for the landscaping we still have to complete, and would also allow us to install a much needed swimming pool for those long hot summer days to come.

Over the past few years I have been emailed by more than a dozen people all of whom advised me that I had won a large prize in the annual draw. Strange that because this is the first year we have actually purchased a ticket and the lady in the kiosk in la 'oficina de loteria' was certain that our ticket failed to win a prize. So I'll blame Lady luck rather than Lady Luz, though if Pam has won the lottery she is keeping rather quiet about it.
Still, fingers crossed there is always next years 'El Gordo' to look forward too.
