October update.

At the end of August I added some photos of Paco's kittens,  another kitten appeared recently although there is still no sign of a mum.....  this new addition is almost all white but with ginger ears and a ginger striped tail.  Doesn't play or mix with the other ones...

2 of the other kittens,  the one we call Minky and one of the tabbies,  followed us home last week.  We made our breakfast coffee and were sitting on the terrace and heard little kitten cries.  They were outside the gate, then climbed up onto a branch of the mulberry tree.  After I'd finished my coffee I picked them  up out of the tree and took them home,  they stayed where I put them on the chair outside their house and haven't followed us again.  This new one isn't  big enough - or brave enough - to follow us yet!

The moon is setting after the full moon around the 8th of October....if you click on the photo you can see the moon just above the rocks on the way down to gypsies leap / salto do los gitanos. 

and looking the other way the sun is just rising above Sierra Gador. 

It's daylight for quite a while before the sun rises here,  Sierra Gador is about 3000 metres high so there's quite a way to go before the sun pops up and we can see it.

The first big autumn rains came on Wednesday,  it was my birthday and we had thought to go out for drinks and lunch to a local restaurant,  eat on the terrace in the sun, but no.  Woke to clouds and then rain followed by thunder, lightning and torrential downpours.  It eased off during the afternoon.  Today though was back to normal,  clear blue skies and wall to wall sunshine with temperatures in the low 20's.
