Eventually, and in spectacular style normal service has been resumed.

Yesterday we actually ventured OUT. Of course two days of drama weather was a massive talking point. Even amongst strangers. The Spanish guy at the petrol station told us he´d sat around in his “onesie” for two days watching movies on TV. I´ve mentioned before how everything shuts down, add petrol stations to the list.

Not a problem when everything necessary becomes not necessary. We were all so glad the electric didn´t go off. Imagine that, stuck in the house with no TV, no WiFi, nightmare. Kitchen appliances and lighting issues pale into comparison.

I just knew the sun was still alive, so I did a little “photo diary day” after the curtain was lifted. A toned down yet highly respectful 22 degrees C from the big yellow thing.

Looking right.

Sundown at precisely 6pm, from stood in a car park!

A defiant return to normality, full of majestic creativity.
