Small consolation

Those of you in the UK who have had rain on and off for the last two weeks will not comiserate with us. However a little sympathy wouldn't go amiss.

It's May - nearly June and the weather here is not great. It should be hot and sunny not mild and cloudy. Temperatures should stay in the mid twenties not be struggling to keep above 20. Most distressing though are the clouds that keep rolling over. They are not the sort that provide rain just obscure the sun. We like to see the sun. It's what we bought sunglasses for.

I mean come on - this is Spain for goodness sake. The place where people come to get a tan and escape from the cold northern climate. Folks have paid good money to holiday here and enjoy themselves. They don't want to go round in trousers and sweaters. They've got suitcases full of shorts and T-shirts to wear.

OK the odd day has been brilliant - blue skies, hot sun without a cloud in sight. How can you plan your week on that basis? We need to know that each morning we'll get up to sunshine.

Ah well I suppose we'll just have to have another day of shoppping. Actually Pam needs some new glasses because she can read better without the ones she has so we have a good excuse. Let's hope the optician speaks some English otherwise when he asks "is this one better or worse" she might just give the wrong answer. With the weather as it is she won't need them to be tinted.
