Bad move:o even tho' I covered the heap with plastic, it's just toooo nasty to go & fetch any in!!
Our track (about 1 in 3 or worse in places) is now mostly various tributary streams for the gushing torrent way down in the abyss that is the arroyo!!!!
Even Sebastian (woodman) seemed flabbergasted that we've had 'winter' since November & now it's Feb, he said Dec/Jan was the norm. Oh well c'est la vie a ce moment - don't know the equivalent in Spanish!

Been chucking it down all night, slowed down to normal rain now. Aaaaah

It is now, black as Newgates knocker over the sea and sunny over the mountains and here. lol

Raining here today :( and there are workmen in next door drilling and banging :frown: if it carries on much longer we will have to go out whether the rain stops or not.

Apparently 40 litres of rain dropped in the last 12 hours, they have now lifted the drought order in Malaga:thumbsup:

Stayed in, the noise wasn't too bad after the initial banging and drilling. Hubby, daughter and her b/f practicing their stage acts so all is not lost :p

Near Vejer, where the old La Janda lagoon used to be, the river has burst its banks, and you can imagine how it used to look back when it was all under water.

Wednesday night's storm knocked my internet connection out (only just got it back) and to make matters worse woke up Thursday morning with no voice (still no voice, doc says can't talk for at least 4days:eek:)

Last night I very nearly gave up my will to live, no talking, no forums:( no rain today just a very chilly wind and I have INTERNET:thumbsup:

Blimey ... I wondered where you had gone

I was telling people that the weather was sunny here earlier, went in the garden, and it started blowing a gale and raining

Bit too generalised, I'm afraid. You can see snow from here - but only above a certain height, which thanks to duff Spanish cartography I can't hope to identify!
