I'm aware that my blogs on holiday are beginning to be a bit "...and this is what we ate for lunch, and the weather is hot..." rather boring nonsense. So a change is needed.
Last night unfortunately I was feeling down. It doesn't happen too often, but with Steve ill - indeed, signed off sick - with severe depression, it doesn't help when I too find myself feeling low. It's difficult to see what's happening around us with any kind of objectivity; it's like we're both trapped in the tentacles of some sea monster. There was a problem with the paella; there was a problem with noise (it was Saturday night, and I think the local youths were just letting off steam); and there was a problem with the heat (which might seem odd as the weather is now so wonderful after the rains - but when you're down, any problem is just a problem).
There is, we discovered this morning after talking to the hotel, nothing to be done about the air-conditioning - which doesn't come on in the room even with the balcony door closed - it's automatic. Whether or not the heat today will trigger it to come on tonight, we shall find out.
Steve has been writing the first essay of his OU course today to submit later, so I've been paddling, wandering, photographing, and reading. There are pictures here (from number 33 to 48).
