Bitterly cold today with even a little snow in Barcelona (very rare), and rain here later on. This wasn’t forecast yesterday, and had we realised, we’d have made the effort yesterday and gone flying at Santa Brigida. But today, as it was, apart from a couple of trips outside to deal with car problems and shopping we stayed at home and tried to keep warm, and did some work. This isn’t what we came to Spain for!

And not a great forecast for the next couple of days – probably better in the UK, at least for Friday and Saturday. However, the forecasting here is quite as bad as in the UK – for instance, the forecast this morning for Saturday changed abruptly from being a beautiful sunny day, to rain and snow all day. And I’ve just got two entirely different forecasts for tomorrow, one saying sunny all day, one saying rain. But who knows…
