Best wishes to Barbara B. who celebrates on Thursday. 🥳🎉🎂
Spanish pigeons are not shy.
Saturday looks promising, cold but sunny. And daylight is getting longer. L@8 is the place and time. We will probably just be settling into Seville when you head out.
It appears the rain in Spain is mostly in the plain. Here in sunny Barcelona, we are happy to enjoy 17°C for the next few days at least. As I write this, that’s 30° warmer than what is being endured in Toronto. OMG!
For Saturday, expect somewhat “warmer” conditions, still cold, but not as bitter as when this post is being written. Please share any pics you have with me so we can compare and contrast.
This is the first of the remote posts. Temperatures in Lisbon are much milder than Toronto, sunny and about 12° to 14° C during the day. Below is our view from the mini-terrace. More details and photos on the group WhatsApp.
Saturday is calling (should we pick up?) for snow, temperature about 1°C. L@8 for a trudge of your choosing. Sounds appealing! Still, always feels good when it’s done.
We were well represented in the annual Balmy Beach “Hair of the Dog” races. Congrats to all!
It seems like we are coming out of the deep freeze in time for L@8. Predictions say snow on the ground by then, so dress for the conditions!
Although it is now travel season, posts will carry on as best as possible starting next week. There may be travelogue pics, at least on social media. Please send me local info (Winter Stations maybe?), and if you’re also away, maybe some shots of your own travels for the blog?
We are kicking off the new year with a pair of celebrations: Olwyn on the 8th and Jan on the 10th. happy birthday to both!
Any plans for races? Interesting travel/walks/hikes? Off-site destinations? Please share your aspirations either here or on WhatsApp.
The cold is back for this Saturday, so dress well. The roads ought to be generally ice-free as there will be a few days for evaporation/sublimation, but do have a peek outside before heading out. A reminder to bring along your cleats/IceBugs/YakTrax even if you end up wearing regular trainers and leave the gripper shoes in the car. Also always have your health card—or image on your phone—on you when walking. JIC…
