Boy it suddenly went cold!
After what can only be described as a perfect winter so far, pay back finally arrived a couple of weeks ago. One day there I was taking a coffee break on the terrace in the sunshine, thinking this is the life. Sea looking like a mirror, sky a baby blue and then…..
-2º are you kidding!!!! We don’t do -º in Mallorca or if they appear it is for about an hour in the morning once and that is it. We have had sleet and snow too at regular intervals and time to thank your lucky stars that you don’t live in the mountains. For those of you who came over after looking at the regular warm weather I feel for you. It was a shock to us all going from 18º – 22º most days down to -2º, showers, storms, strong winds and just darn miserable.
To be honest we did need it. The cold keeps the mosquito and other insect populations down, kills germs, flees and ticks for those of you who have animals. Also after the heavy rain the reservoir will be happier too. I could tell by the calc blocking up the taps that the water levels were low.
Good News
Temp is coming back to normal and as I look through the window while typing this, the sun is shining and it is hovering between 5º and 10º. Hopefully now the Almond blossom can resume its progress and bless us all with its beauty.
Yesterday it was warm enough to go out on my bike. I love riding around the port in the sunshine and so does my little dog Pepa. She sits in a basket on the back like Queen of all she surveys and thoroughly enjoys the ride. If you see us riding past you in the port give us a wave.
