Lovely here in Blighty. Clear blue skies and in the twenties still at 7.45!

 

Can't remember the last time it rained here...

 

Great here in Paris too.

 

22° C this morning at ten am as I walked past the chemist's shop down on
the avenue de Clichy.

I see very little debate in the French media, as to whether anyone
actually considers these temperatures 'normal'. They've got more
important stuff to do, anyway. Whether an incompetent feminist or a
pyschotic Eastern European dwarf, get to govern us for the next five
years, for starters.

A loverly day here in Sunny Essex. I even took off me shirt and caught
some rays. Could do with a bit of rain mind, for the flowers and stuff.

 

Paul Carmichael came into sight through the beans and said

Could do with some of the wet stuff on my peas, looking a tad forlorn a
the mo. Any chance you could persuade some rain to the Solent?

 

At least yours have sprouted. No peas, no cabbage, no lettuce, only
carrots here.

get the watering can out you lazy git.

 

I am not growing peas again this year, I have a mildew problem which
seems only to affect them so I am giving it a rest for a bit in the
hopes it will die out.

 

Remember your party, you must blame PSOE for this.

It's raining cats & dogs here, but the countryside is looking near Irish
green (well, almost)

 

Where exactly in Spain are you?

Used to be seven, since changed by a Constitutional amendment (Article
6).

There is no debate in Spanish media. But 3 months ago it was a dry and hot
winter and the eco-nazis were blowing the trumpets of the Global Warming
Judgement Day. Now they sit down and shut up.

Five or seven years?

 

Ah, OK. Otherwise, I'd have offered you una cerveza, as I'll be in
Madrid from 3 to 9 July.

De nada.

D.

 

Make that 3 to 12 July.

D.

 

Merci.

 

That is apparently six months late, ever since I took a red pill and got out
of The Madrix.

You may find on wednesday night the Dago newsgroup at Cafe Vapor, Av. San
Francisco de Sales, 41, metro Cuatro Caminos, provided you seem to be fluent
in Dagospeak.

 

Oh no! ¡Ni mucho menos!

I did Spanish a long while ago, but can just _about_ get by. I'm
'native' French, so a lot of what I read is understandable, but spoken
Spanish sounds like machine gun fire.

My telephone has twenty or so podcasts 'brush up on Spanish' and so on,
and as my school is a fifteen-minute walk from my flat, I can do one
half-hour session in one day. ¡Voy a Madrid, soy contento!

Well, obviously it's the fault of ZP and the catalán estatuto.

Actually, after 3 years of drought, most folk around here are dancing in
the streets.

Tras 3 años de sequía la gente está bailando en las calles.

You may like to look up "ser" vs "estar".
