?Hola de Espa?a!

Well, after a much delayed flight Steve and myself arrived in Spain around 2pm local time on Monday. We arrived to stereotypical weather. Stereotypical for Britain that is, and it was pretty similar for Tuesday too, apparently their first real rain in five months.

Come Wednesday though and we've had glorious and continuous sunshine, though apparently the locals are feeling rather cold at the moment. The swimming pool certainly hasn't benefited much from the sun. Memories of PE lessons at Somerleyton and Lothingland come back to me, with their outdoor swimming pools that were always rather shocking on entry.

I'm having a really great time out here, though have managed to fall into my usual geeky habbits, reinstalling our lovely hosts' PC and rejigging their network. They have broadband here, woohoo! So I can upload the very few pictures I've taken, like this one...

There are very few pictures because I'm sticking to my original plan of doing very little except sleeping, eating and drinking. And I have to admit, I'm not really a fan of the Spanish countryside. The weather is great for October, but it takes it's toll on the area, and it just doesn't seem so lush and green here as good ol' Britain, especially looking at my Wales pics again.

Anyway, I think it's time for a swim now. I hope everyone is well back in Blighty and no doubt my next post will be made in that green and pleasant land I call home.
