No snow today :(

No snow down here but a bit above Mecina Bombaron this morning.   However that horrible wind and rain has gone and although it's been cold today at least it's been clear and mostly sunny.  Some people have had lots of damage to plants and property during that wind,  the worst one was described on an Andalucia forum that we read where the roof has blown off their house, taking part of a wall and windows too plus belongings. 

The rain has left lots of puddles on the pista which I can now paddle in.  My wellies are  - or were - very old.  I have photos from 1988 of me in a nice shiny pair of green Hunter wellingtons and last year they started to split.  Actually I think the rubber is perishing,  mostly across the instep, but they aren't waterproof and it's a bit daft having  boots that you can't use in the wet weather!   Friday we were out shopping and I saw these....

Walking up stream in the fuente overflow.

not so countryfied  as green wellies, more of a fashion thing, but  definitely different.

Despite the sunshine, we didn't go to today's fiesta celebration.  10° was the high, and in the sun warmer still, but the salon is huge and always cold and somehow  neither of us felt really like going anywhere.   It would have been our 10th fiesta and this is the first cold, wet and windy fiesta that we've had. 

Hopefully next year will be back to normal,  warm and sunny during the day.
