Calima!!!!

The wind normally blows from N.W. but today its from S.W. that brings hot weather (30c now) and dust storm from Africa.

Was sunny and blue skies this morning. Everything outside is covered in dust/sand.

Just been to a mates and couldn't see the volcanoes.

That is quite smart. Kind of reminds me of a comic strip that was in the Sun Newspaper called George and Lynne. They had a house on the river :lol:

As you well know, some places have a bin for paper as they have a fosse septique which may not deal with the volume of paper a cafe toilet uses!

TBF, i didn’t know that.

Don’t know anywhere around me with a fosse septique and it had never occurred to me that anyone would think a big cafe in a big town would have one

But the sign makes more sense (sort of!) now you’ve said that
