Geoff writes: third day of the conference. We went out for a quick bite to eat to the nice cafe a few doors down the road. As we walked in, there was a Spanish radio station playing a song in English. The words went more or less like this:

I want to stab myself, I want to cut my throat. I want to kill myself.

Great music to accompany a pleasant lunch out! Now, bearing in mind that we live literally on the edge of a 300 foot vertical basalt cliff, and the cafe is on the same cliff; and that a few years ago we found a dead body at the bottom of it, we did wonder if the cafe owners actually understood the words of the song. After the song, the band was interviewed, and it’s a group called the Tiger Lillies, who apparently are quite famous. Their web site describes them as “The world’s foremost Death Oompah band”. And they are playing in Madrid tonight, hence the radio interview.

Anyway…. great forecast, completely wrong. Forecast sunny, but actually cloudy, rain, thunder and lightning this afternoon. Not that it makes any difference to us at the moment.
