Bad weather seldom lasts long in this part of Spain and yesterday we were just about back to normal after the fierce storm of Sunday night. The sky is once again its wonderful shade of blue, the sun is shining brightly and the temperature is well into the twenties.
It was Hairdressing Tuesday a couple of days ago, so here’s a photo of She Who Must Be Obeyed enjoying a stroll near the Reina SofĂa park after the holy event of washing, cutting, setting and heaven-knows-what-elsing. As can be seen, after less than twenty-four hours from the time I took the pics of the storm’s effects on Guardamar beach, the weather was already quite lovely and, if anything, it has only got better since. Quite a difference to when we lived in Belgium!
A news report states that a large amount of money, several hundred thousand euro, destined for a children’s hospital, instead found its way to pay for the renovation of the luxury apartment of a bishop or other some-such high-up of the Vatican. Well, blow me down with a sea breeze, who would have thought it?
Come off it! Organised religion is nothing more than organised mafia and the Vatican is the great control post of one of the most corrupt band of hypocrites amongst the many that the world has produced. Thank God I’m an atheist! Get rid of organised religion and the world will be a far better place.

What a difference…
a day (or two) makes.
Just a couple of days ago, the weather here was quite wonderful: warm, sunny, blue skies, sand-between-your-toes type weather. Actually, I dislike sand anywhere, let alone between my toes, but I do appreciate warm, dry weather. The accompanying photo shows the central beach in Guardamar last Friday afternoon, with plenty of people on it (no, honestly, that's plenty of people at this time of year in Guardamar).
Now take a look at this photo, taken from just about the same spot earlier today (Monday).
There are signs blown over, flosam on an unsually high tideline, ugly grey skies, and rain over Santa Pola and Alicante. Elsewhere, large channels have been grooved out of the sand and the paseo (promenade) is littered with debris.
During the night, we had a huge storm. There was not only plenty of rain and lightning, but some very, very heavy wind, almost tornado-like. Indeed, there are reports of there having been tornados in Torrevieja and Benissa.
