Our new life in Andalucia Spain Big Blog

Wednesday December 20th 2006

The good weather continues ...
We're off shopping to Carrefours at Los Barrios.
On the way we saw lots of Common Buzzards, White Storks, Griffon Vultures, Cattle Egrets, Spotless Starlings, Crested Larks, a lone Kestrel and lots of Spanish Sparrows.

The Common Buzzards teased me by either being on the wrong side of the road, flying off as we slowed down or sitting posing when it was impossible for us to stop.

This is the best I could do from a moving car ..



We got a lot of shopping in Carrefours including a fresh turkey at a very reasonable price.
We'll have the Benarrabá pork at New Year.

On the way home I was going to photograph the White Storks, but all the nests that were overflowing with Storks an hour before were now empty.

We called into Venta Carrasco a favourite bar just before Jimena de la Frontera.
There was a silver donkey on the hillside. I was about to take a photograph when a construction wagon drove down a nearby track and kicked a ton of dust into the air which refuse to clear.

So not a very successful day with the camera.

Back home we sorted out the shopping and cooked an interesting stir fry with a tandoori flavour.
I listened to the Newcastle United v Chelsea, Carling Cup Quarter Final. Unfortunately we lost 0-1. We played well for parts of the game, but it wasn't to be.

We watched 'Resident Evil' starring Milla Jovovich. We'd both seen it before but had forgotten most of the plot. The zombie Dobermans are great, the film is worth watching just for that scene.
Later we watched 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' Guy Ritchie's great movie starring Vinnie Jones.

These were taken on Tuesday evening, I forgot to put them on yesterday's blog.
