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

This is going to make me feel really bad.

Lovely day.
Only 18 max. .
Down to the coast, to collect the van from the auto electrician.
He fettled a niggling fault... 45€ . The van was off the road for almost 3 weeks, until he could fit it in.
Cost to AA breakdown.. Towing, taxis, hire cars.. About 1400€.
Cost to us.. 15€ in diesel..
Bad news.. Management has taken a liking to the Mini Clubman
.

Cold tonight..8 degrees, no rain expected.
 
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?

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.

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:
