then early on Tuesday morning a lorry with 5 new transformers came up and off loaded one at the base of the last pylon, obviously they were going to change the transformer to a new one but we don't know why.
A nifty 3 point turn on the bend, actually it was more like a 6 point turn, but well done that driver.
The power went off yesterday as they said at 8am, at 8.30 a lorry with a lifting arm/crane plus 2 vans and workers arrived, the transformer was changed over and half an hour later they went. Midday, and 2 vans came back, men, ladders and lots of chattering going on, and within 10 minutes we were switched back on.
Some signs of Spring in the last few days, the first hyacinth orchid that I've found this year, and what looks like catkins and flower buds on a large shrubby thing that grows near the fuente.
But it may be a false start as the forecast is saying strong gusts tonight of up to 58km/h plus rain turning to snow, with possibly more snow on Saturday. Time to stock up with firewood, bake cakes, watch rugby and stay in the warm house.
A long weekend ahead of us because...
The Día de Andalucia ("Day of Andalusia" or "Andalusia Day") is celebrated February 28 and commemorates the February 28, 1980 referendum on the Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia, in which the Andalusian electorate voted for the statute that made Andalusia an autonomous community of Spain.
And if a holiday falls on a Sunday then it's always a day off on Monday to compensate.
