Still freezing

Reyes MagosWe have an expression called ‘tempting fate’, when we make a passing remark, which either comes true when we don’t necessarily want it to, or otherwise completely contradicts the original comment. In this case it was a comment that I made just before the end of December, when I said we don’t normally have a lot of frost during the winter. Here we are, just over a week later, and we have had frost every night since I made the comment! Of course this is not really a problem at all at this time of year, indeed it is quite a positive thing – the clear skies at night have extended throughout the day, and we have enjoyed long hours of sunshine.

We have just re-opened the Bodega today, after some extended holidays – three celebrations over a two week period. Christmas, New Year and Los Reyes Magos (the three kings), celebrated here on January 6th. Clearly this causes quite a lot of disruption to business, and it takes a little while to settle back into our normal daily routine……
