Geoff writes: today we had to pick up Wayne and Mick from the airport – they’re visiting for a few days. This meant skiing wasn’t an option, but it seemed that maybe flying would be, in spite of the easterly forecast. After a morning cleaning up (we only do this when we have visitors) we went to Santa Brigida, where the wind was on, but it was very gusty. Very sunny, very warm, very thermic, but maybe about 10km/h too much. In the end, we had to leave for the airport, though it probably would have dropped off enough for an evening flight.

We came home from the airport via Besalu, which was really nice in the evening, with all the lighting of the old part. Warm too. And we saw three otters swimming down the river.

Then back home for food, drink and games. A pleasant evening.

The forecast for the rest of the week until last night had been wall-to-wall sunshine. Predictably enough, as soon as we have visitors, the forecast deteriorated dramatically, and it doesn’t look too good for Tuesday, so we decided we would go skiing, and hope for the best.
