Bedrock

Just a brief entry… I may be wrong but I don’t remember such continuous August heat – indeed It was just as hot in most of July here in Galera (we escaped to the UK late July – early August but I’m told that while we were away, it was as hot as it has been since) – all gets a bit monotonous after a while – so it was interesting tonight to see a LITTLE bit of rain tonight.

Nothing lilke Northeast England rain mind you – it was still 30c -in fact really pleasant for sitting outside. I’ve been hiding away a lot working on my tech blog – and Maureen’s been doing a lot of reading. At least in our cave it is possible to shelter from the extremes, albeit I’ve been using my office air conditioner more than usual recently.

Update Late November 2024: I’ve been writing a lot elsewhere and not doing a good enough job of keeping this blog up to date – accordingly – after a VERY hot summer, Southern Spain has had some horrendous flooding – thankfully we’ve avoided most of that in the hills above Galera and continue to have nice weather WHEN THE SUN IS OUT, but I should stress it’s starting to get quite cold in the shade. Been keeping up with Spacex’s latest failure and hoping that Starship flight 7 will be much more successful. Maureen and I continue to enjoy the area and fairly regular trips to the coast.

Watched the PENGUIN series on TV – quite impressive makeup. Meanwhile our 4G broadband provider DIGI has dropped their prices again (25 euros, then 20, now 15 for completely unlimited use), sadly still no joy on 5G in Galera and coverage in nearby Huescar remains somewhat spotty. I note that back in the UK, prices continue to go UP – how not to attact long-term customers.
