The forecast today looked unlikely, but there was an outside chance it would work. That chance seemed less likely when I spotted a cunim over El Mont at 11.30am (10.30 really given that the clocks have only just changed), which seemed a tad early and didn’t bode well. So all plans for flying at Sant Pere de Rodes were ditched and plan B was to drive past Santa Brigida, if it was flyable we’d do that, if not, we’d head to the beach.

With the big development all around us, we decided to do a job first and go to Olot to argue with Telefonica to get our land line back. They were actually very helpful, but don’t get me started on Jazztel…

Then off to Santa Brigida, where the wind was too strong, from the NW and with a massive cloud sitting above it. How many more inidicators do you need that it’s NOT flyable? As we drove towards Girona/the coast, the clouds just got blacker and more ominous. Then it started pouring. We ditched the beach plan and decided to go into town and visit Jesus in hospital. He’s recovering from his nine hour operation to fix his pelvis, and is sitting up reasonably comfortably. He won’t be able to walk for three months, but is expected to make a full recovery.

Afterwards we went for a quick walk round town and a sandwich before coming home to start the packing for our return to the UK next week.
