We're up early. I'm working on the website. Lots of pages left to transfer.
It's monotonous work but I'm over halfway through the Blog pages. So light at the end of the tunnel.
We had a break went to see Rosie and Domingo.
They are always pleased to see us.
Lots of wild flowers are appearing. The Gorse bushes have been flowering for a few weeks now.
The Broom has a bigger flower with a shape typical of plants from the 'Pea' family.
The Vinca or Periwinkle is a shade loving plant. It grows in huge patches given the right conditions.
The Southern Vetchling in contrast loves sunshine. Another member of the pea family. It is also found growing in huge patches covering banks and roadside verges.
A mystery plant. I can't find it in our books. It grows in clumps on steep banks of poor soil. It's stems are 15-30cm long.
This tree loses its leaves but keeps its fruit for months. Very striking against the blue Andalucian sky.
Jane has been getting quite a good tan.
We watched 'Dan in Real Life' A romantic, family drama. Dan falls for a woman who later turns out to be his brothers girlfriend. Well made film one for the ladies. Not a machine gun, alien or zombie in the whole 98 minutes.
Starring Steve Carell, Dane Cook and Juliette Binoche (Chocolat).
Another late night working until 05:00h. Once you get in the groove you might as well keep going. Not much of the Blog transfer left to do now.
