Thursday 28 May 2020 Another sunny day and the countdown is on until we can go out and really enjoy it. In a surprise move the Spanish government announced 24 hours earlier than expected that we will move into Phase 2 on Monday. How will that change our lives? Only time will tell but we [...]
Lockdown Day 73
Wednesday 27 May 2020 Another beautiful day but a bit windy. We know it's still out of reach, but take me to the beach. I can hear it calling! Sounds like the cue for a song to start the day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVNdTXEJv1A Trish was the one teaching in the morning so I nipped out to pick [...]

Lockdown Day 72
Tuesday 26 May 2020 The sun is out, the sky is blue, there's not a cloud to spoil the view. Hopefully summer is here. All that's missing is the opportunity for a dip in the pool or a splash around in the sea. Might be a while for the pool, but with a bit of [...]

Lockdown Day 71
Monday 25 May 2020 It was a public holiday in the UK, but not here. We had no work on so it made no difference to us anyway. Going to the beach, like in Wales and Scotland, was not an option so we were once again horrified by the scenes on some English beaches. Can [...]

Lockdown Day 70
Sunday 24 May 2020 Sunday morning was as Sunday morning has been for ten weeks now. We got up, had breakfast, got the blog written, made family conference calls and went to the gym. I imagine quite a few others are finding similar repetition in their daily/weekly activities. At least they seem to have started [...]

Lockdown Day 69
Saturday 23 May 2020 What a beautiful day! We had an early warning of what a hot day it was likely to be when our thermometers demonstrated the difference between being on the balcony in the shade (22.2°C) and in the garden in direct sunlight (36.3°C). Not bad for 11am. If you're interested, the other [...]

Lockdown Day 68
Friday 22 May 2020 The end of ten weeks since our lives changed. Will they ever be the same again? I doubt it somehow. Let's hope the "new normal" is one we can all enjoy when it gets here. If you like this cartoon, take a look at the rest of the series. The morning [...]

Lockdown Day 67
Thursday 22 May 2020 Guess what! It was a nice, sunny day in lockdown Spain. We didn't do an awful lot to be honest, but that's not altogether a bad thing, is it? Covid continues to dominate the news, even if Barcelona can't get its numbers verified leading to a dramatic drop in the official [...]

Lockdown Day 66
Wednesday 20 May 2020 Another beautiful day dawned in Guardamar and we made the most of it. First though, I had to teach. My student had watched a video and produced an excellent summary of events before we discussed the implications of Covid-19 on the aviation industry and the current state of affairs. I have [...]

Lockdown Day 65
Tuesday 19 May 2020 Another beautiful day in lockdown Spain. It would probably have been a perfect day to visit the beach. Sadly not even communal swimming pools are open. How envious are we of those with their own pool right now! It did take a bit of getting out of bed after yesterday's celebrations [...]
