All driven by the woke brigade two days of lovely hot weather and the country is coming to a halt-Christ it does my head in-enjoy it -in a few more months you will all be moaning about how wet it is-1976 was for weeks not a few days. please log in to view this image
Just had tapas in a small Spanish cafe bar and now sat in a huge Irish bar with a sunny terrace overlooking the sea - I must admit I’ve chosen a seat under an umbrella - 40 degrees is too strong for my pathetic pale skin to take the full-on rays!
Not in the same league I know but I'm sat on my bolt holes decking, sipping a bottle of Beck's, under my parasol (Posh) enjoying a lovely, constant sea breeze, the sun is ablast at 30 degrees and all is well in my little world, return home tomorrow AM.
went to get my tracking done and it needed a part would be about an hour so walked the path along the river from Templemeads to StAnnes and back took a hour and a quarter and is 4km Tide was going out! counted over 60 new gulls .... Saw 2 squirrels, a wren a treecreeper couple of gasping blackbirds ... the whole path is lined with Buddleia [ butterfly bush/ tree ] but not one seen on it however count was slow for others... 2 holley blue.. and a painted lady .. a tortoiseshell .. 11 large white 3 small white 6 meadow brown 2 speckled wood 2 gatekeeper a Comma [ 2 unidentified 1 poosibly green veined the other gate keeper or meadow brown... ] temp was tempered by the breeze and odd shady bits temp was low 30's maybe as high as 34c
Over the border now for a couple of nights in Gibraltar in our flat - just in time before the tenants move in next month! Great to be back - I’m popping to the Trafalgar later to check the BCFC Pennant is still there !!!!!
Didn’t know that and that’s my birthday as well!! I’ll probably be along the coast in Estepona but might have to alter my plans!!!
