Interesting thought, as the clocks go forward on Sunday. Here in Spain we have light failing at about eight o’clock in the evening, half an hour after sunset. Next week the light will fail at nine o’clock. On the other side of the coin, in the morning, sunrise is about half past seven, dawn being three quarters of an hour before that. So at the moment we have eleven hours of daylight each day. Our days draw out at just six minutes per week as apposed to the UK eighteen minutes per week. Question for science: When does the length of daylight in the UK surpass the length of daylight in Spain, as it surely does? Just thought I’d ask in case anyone knows.
Again we have six men on site today, although as yet we can not see what they are doing. As I write, Jose has just arrived in his pickup truck with an enormous amount of marble pieces on the back. We think that this will be broken up like crazy paving for the bottom six hundred millimetres of the wall around the house. We asked that it should be as light as possible and I think that they have obliged. This section then has a grey marble border between the random marble pieces and the yeso’d top part of the wall. See previous pictures of the outside walls to get the drift.
Today has been very sunny with a little wind but in the last hour (now 16-40hrs) it has clouded over from the north.
Elayne and I are looking forward to going to the Wok Buffet again tonight with our good friends Mags and Allen.
It’s now 17-10hrs and we have a delivery of radiators and other electrical paraphernalia on site, wow!.
One of the pictures is of one of our favourite lunchtime tapas bars in Albox.
