A sunny Sunday morning stroll in Tenerife

It's something I don't do nearly often enough, but ... According to Weather Underground, the north of Tenerife was today mostly cloudy, after earlier having scattered clouds. I'm not sure where they scattered them, because it certainly wasn't here - look - and we are usually the first to get "weather" in this valley.

This merely proves the "rule" that every time I say it's going to rain (er, based on official reports), the sun comes out. I'll just keep reporting forecasts of rain to ensure permanent sunny weather then! :)

Talking to my weekend only neighbour this morning, she told me that she was in the hairdressers on Friday and folk were saying that we're going get another storm like Delta. Now, either you can take it that this lady is well informed, as the wife of a Santa Cruz taxi driver must surely be, or you can conclude that "the people in the street", do fear that weather of that kind is liable to repeat. I'll opt for the second of those. We just don't know when and, judging by the accuracy (not) of weather forecasts lately, there seems a very good chance we'll never know.

Nevertheless, taking advantage while the sun shines, I decided to meander down to the market, then on to the village and that blue was how the sky was all the time. Walking back up the hill again was very hot work indeed and I was soaked in sweat when I got home. In November?
