Apparently Autumn starts today, although from the high temperatures here in Andalucía you wouldn't think it... it's off to a dramatic start, though! HappyWednesday, everyone 😃

When you're 15 years old, had a busy day and ready to settle down for the night with a fluffy mouse toy as a pillow ❤️😻 Goodnight from Ziggy #CatsOfBlueSky

Tales From A Terrace... Right now, I have the mubble-fubbles because I am despondent about the uselessness of local politicians and am hoping a glass (o dos) of vino, the company of cats and my Andalucían mountain views might console me...

Tales From A Terrace It's late August, and early mornings and evenings are starting to feel almost autumnal 🙂 (the daytimes don't 🥵) Right now: wisps...😍

Tales From A Terrace... Friday evening, chilling after a very warm day... Talullah-known-as-Lula, whose ambitions to climb onto that wall have been thwarted (there's a sheer drop the other side!) is considering her options... Ziggy, 15, is relaxing... And breathe...😃

Tales From A Terrace... There are awful people and evil acts in this world and we need to be aware of them but not let them overwhelm us. There is also plenty of kindness, loveliness, beauty and laughter. We mustn't lose sight of those. Let's find joy in simple things: they are vital for happiness 🤗

Oh, the joy of smelling petrichor after months and months of high temperatures and no rain 😍😍😍 Now I know how a wilting plant feels when someone finally waters it....😅 #TheRainInSpain

Tales From A Terrace... Lots of European bee-eaters whirling around today, preparing to migrate. It has been hot and humid, but the air now feels like it really wants to rain...maybe tomorrow 🤞🤞 The cats spotted a humming-bird hawkmoth in the plumbago and were transfixed! Don't worry: it flew off 🙂

Tales From A Terrace A nice cool 😏 28C, humidity 54%. Still some Saharan dust, so a bit hazy towards the mountains. The solar lights come on before 9.30pm now. The swifts and swallows have gone 🥹 Such brave little birds; I miss them...but a huge vulture flew close earlier, that made us flinch! 🤣🙀

The village square, from my terrace, 5am. This goes on till 6.30am every night of the Feria and gets even louder towards the end. And there is a fairground designed for this, but no, they insist on the heart of the village so we can all be kept awake for four nights. FFS! 🥱🥱🥱🤬

This is a traditional Andalucían white village, on a hill below a castle; it's very pretty 🙂

31C at 11pm (it reached 41C this afternoon) and poor Ziggy, aged 15, says he doesn't want to go indoors to bed yet because he's enjoying the 'cool' night air on the terrace 😿 And I don't have the heart to make him...❤️

If anyone has ever wondered what 40C and Saharan dust looks like, wonder no more... #Andalucía #heatwave

When it's still 30C at 10.30pm, a 'pacharán con hielo' is a very nice cooling option while sitting outside and hoping for a breeze on a Friday night 🙂 #Andalucía

I love my travelling. Have enjoyed nearly a week in wonderful Porto then walked a Camino de Santiago and spent a couple of days in Santiago de Compostela, which I adore...but right now I am SO happy to be home in Andalucía ❤️

Ah, finally! After days of a violent East wind the temperature has risen, the sun is hot and...the first hibiscus flower of the year has opened. Welcome, summer! 😍

Well, I'm reading a book in Spanish: Comerás Flores by Lucía Solla Sobral, but in English I have just finished one which may interest those with an interest in the Spanish Civil War. Possibly the most powerful & emotional book I have ever read 😢

There used to be a 'no cats in the bedroom' rule but then after a lot of rain the wooden door swelled and wouldn't close and although it's back to normal now I just can't bring myself to say no to her...❤️ So it's goodnight from me and goodnight from Tallulah-known-as-Lula 🥱🫠

Well, somebody is happy that I let the wild flowers grow in my pots in the spring 😃
A sparrow is perched on a tall wild plant which is growing in a pot on a terrace, eating the seeds
