Today is (yet another) another beautiful day down here, blue sky and only a little breeze. The temperatures are pretty grim though, max of about 13 in the sun and zero and minus predicted overnight during the next week. Luckily a log-fire keeps us reasonably snug indoors. OK, I suppose it is better than the 6" of snow in the UK. I spoke to my pal in Disley yesterday and his wife had to call him in from clearing snow off the path. Needless to say, he laughed at our idea of cold temperatures.
And resolutions?
I have already alluded to my proposed "dry-January", but have cheated already by allowing myself to extend the festive period to run up to and including Sunday 3rd, but then mega-diet, no booze, lots of exercise bike. Also planning to try to do a bit more meditation too.
Until the roll-out of any jabs, I guess we will be in quasi-lockdown for the first few months.
.... and just to reinforce the idiocy that prevails down here, yesterday at La Cañada, which is in Marbella and probably the largest shopping mall around, some shop decided to set up a stage and sound system and get some "personalities" to play the parts of the Three Kings - all the while broadcasting it live on some channel or other.
Well, what a surprise, hundreds of people showed up - to such an extent that the police were called and the show had to be cancelled. The main blame must lie with the organisers, who should be fined heavily, but when there are parents who will take their kids to something like that, knowing it is "illegal" and fundamenally anti-social, what hope do the rest of us have?
