Weather Report..................

[Steveandjulie]

Woke up this morning to sunshine which was a pleasant surprise as the forecast was rain to continue. I'm off work but sadly not Julie so can't go away in the van to enjoy the sunshine but we're away to York at weekend so hopefully the weather stays fine

Hey Paul, you might have had a cheaper peri peri chicken than we had today. We paid 7 euro and had chips and a large salad bowl, but the beer was an extra couple euro for the two, not each
BUT, we had the sun ☀ to make up

Chips, Graham ?
How sophisticated..!
All we get,out here in the sticks, is a basket of crusty bread. Ideal for wiping one's fingers, after pulling apart the chunks of chicken.. Then using the bread to mop up the sauce,from the platter.
A Scandinavian couple,adjacent to us were horrified..especially after demanding chips, were brought a large bag of potato crisps.
can't please them all !
Cracking day,so far.
An hour in the garden, bedding yesterday's potted plants,from the market, til it got too hot.
Breezy, but 30 degrees in the sheltered shade

ps.
This is what we did after the gardening duties.

We found in lots of places, chips are crisps we just have what we are given and fit in with local custom
Been beaching it today and going to cook soon with the accompanying vino
Motorhome friends arrive tomorrow so more wine to get rid of
You know the previous photo of the young ladies bum, well afterwards another equally attractive young lady stripped off completely just 10feet in front of my eyes, changing into her bikini
Difficult not to look

Such a hard life with such lovely views I'm not jealous at all

A bit nippy here in Palencia, Jennie woke up at 5am to make sure she gets first use of the on site washing machine which opens at 7, she's rushing around now like a spring chicken with clothes flying everywhere, I'm just gonna sit back and watch the women fight it out.

You'll go blind, if you're not careful.
Under those circumstances, I usually close one eye. Just to be safe.
Another glorious morning. Early breakfast, during which, the temperature rose from 20 to 26.
90 minutes of sedate gardening, knocking off at10.30..
Now 31 in the shade. Sweet breezes keep it comfortable under the parasol.

First thing today Hertfordshire was awash.
As the morning progressed things improved and now it's dry with patches of blue up above.
So I've ordered an 8 speed Sturmey Archer hub to replace the current 3 speed hub on the Brompton. The wider range and much lower gearing at the bottom end of the range should make the hills slightly more comfortable.
Old age brings us all different challenges, I guess.
