This, I kid you not, was the view from my bedroom window when I woke up this morning; the cloud was practically coming into the room and it was shitting down with rain. Not good conditions for going into Spain as planned, but it’s just as well we didn’t go as my uncle had invited people round for lunch without telling us.The guests arrived at midday on the dot and left at five o’clock this afternoon; a true marathon lunch then. I didn’t want to be sociable any more, my brother was just bored and my dad felt like he was wasting his holiday; at least my uncle was happy doing what he does best (and I think loves most), bumbling about panicking about guest for hours on end, constantly checking that he’s remembered to bring the cheese to room temperature.
The rain has long since backed off but not surprisingly nothing was really picture worthy so it’s clouds for today I’m afraid; the food was actually edible at the meal this time so I couldn’t even get a picture of people trying desperately to repress their disgust or discreetly giving their portion to the dog.
Tomorrow is the last day of the year; well there we are then.
