All that sun must be fading those red beauties.

Cost to us.. 15€ in diesel..
Bad news.. Management has taken a liking to the Mini Clubman

It's a clear sky above the beach here in Andalucia and about 14°C presently.
................And it's really windy with the Moho being buffeted.
................And I'd planned a cycle along the coast to a flea market tomorrow morning.

Or not.

Would you be a buyer, or a seller, Colin?

 

[Jeanette]

Just been out with the mad pup and it’s really quite chilly with a clear sky and breezy

 

[edina]

Sounds as though us Devonians are being blessed with a little more rain.

At a sale of fleas, an observer, Paul.
I've always thought that a strange name for a market.
Does anyone know the derivation?

Right now there's totally still air above the Moho and it's very mild indeed - I'm guessing still 14°C.

Hi all drizzly and slightly breezy this morning........ LETS SEE WHAT THE DAY BRINGS

 

[Lee]

A lovely wet morning outside best I stay inside and may be it will stop.

 

[Pauljenny]

Bright, still morning.
Cloudless sky. Warming up nicely. Sinatra on the local radio.
Good day for pretending to be busy in the garden.
I feel a G&T lunch being in order.... Maybe the last of 2018

Flea market comes from the French marché aux puces, a name originally given to a market in Paris which specialized in shabby second-hand goods of the kind that might contain fleas. The earliest English use that the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary has found dates from 1922.

The depth of knowledge amongst the motorhome fraternity, is mind boggling! Thanks Bill.
The G& T turned out to be a surprise double.. Don't want to waste ½ a can of expensive tonic, do we?
Followed by a 30 minutes kip on the Sunlouger.. I blame the fresh air.

Wow! Thanks for that, Bill. I was thinking 'small market/items and a very small insect'.
Which just goes to show how dangerous absolutely zero knowledge can be since there were well in excess of 100 sellers, well over 1000 potential buyers - and some huge items.

The day has been warm and sunny, as forecast by the wonderful BBC.
And the sky has been blue as hoped by me.
I cycled down the coast, past the castle at Fuengirola:



and on to Mijas, where the beach wasn't too crowded:



There was a group re-enacting something Spanish by the tower in Mijas:



And a powered paraglider (technical name, please Bill!) caused me to look up at the blue on my return to the Moho:
