Wednesday was breezy so it was a firewood day, trimming the pruned branches down for logging and moving nearer the area where we want to make a new wood store, then in the afternoon we went with the chainsaw to cut up a dead almond tree that came down in the first snow. In just 1 hour we had enough logs for about a couple of weeks which we then stacked on the terrace for using. Thursday, yes more olives, 9 sacks this time, about 225 kgs.
Weekend was fiesta, the sun shone as it always has but with a chill wind as well. Church service at 1pm, followed by a buffet and some amazing locally made wine,(or beer and soft drinks) coffee with friends afterwards, siesta and out again for the evening session at 11pm till about 3.30am. Sunday started with lovely clear blue skies and sunshine but by mid-morning it was drizzling. We had decided not to stay for Sunday as we had lots to do here.
This morning started off cold, so we decided to do house things till it warmed up, but then the wind started up again and it is blowing round the house - if feels like it's coming down from the Sierras but is actually coming up the valley from Cadiar. Monty seems bothered by the winds, he keeps running outside and sniffing the air, sometimes barking, I suppose he can smell and hear things from a long way off.
