Just to say that I'm really enjoying the happy summer days! background. great pics to have greet us to the site.

I actually prefer this blue colour to the old standard green :D Blue is a slightly cooler colour than green :)

Speaking of summer, some of you know I live in southern Spain. I love the sun when I can enjoy it on the beach or the fairly nearby Spanish lake district or even in my own mini pool! However, I've just worked 4 straight days (yes, Sat and Sunday included) and today hit 42 degrees. (that's 107.2 degrees in American).

There is a northerly mountain wind the Spanish call, 'El Terral.' This comes from the mountains that have been cooking for a while and blows toward the south coast, especially in the Málaga region.

Hold a hairdrier about 30 cms or a foot from your face and put it on its hottest setting. This is what El Terral feels like! Even riding my bike home at 6pm at 100 KPH, I'm still sweating buckets :(

I've still got 3 more days before I can chill out :( IF I live thru it!

Still, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else ;)

Have a great summer, guys! (Except you southern hemisphere members of course. How cold is it, ET?)
