I’ve made steady progress this week, but I don’t have anything very exciting to report. I’ve learned about Spanish civics and rivers, produced a different length of synopsis for Murder by Starlight and fleshed out my character profiles for “Pinch Me”. Oh, and I’ve updated my amazon author page It is progress really, but it doesn’t much feel like it.
Sunday photos: Burracas and scones
On Tuesday I hiked from the gofio museum at Las Trcias down to Burracas cave. I’ve done the start of the walk before, but this is the first time I’ve actually got down to the cave at the bottom, because it’s not far, but it is very steep. I think I’m getting a little fitter at last. I’m glad I did get down there: I knew about the cave (which…

Los Llanos castle

I’ve seen it for years and wanted to get closer, but the hill is very steep so it takes time to walk up. The roads are narrow, twisty and often one way or indeed suddenly turn into steps, so it’s not simple to drive up either. But on Thursday…
Sunday photos: Covid test
My friend is waiting for a COVID test result. Since we had coffee together on Wednesday I’m also waiting for her COVID result to see if I need a test myself. It’s not as bad as it sounds. She has a slight fever and feels achy, but really it’s much more likely to be a normal cold. But seeing as she’s a teacher she felt the responsible thing to do…
