I have learned that the trick is to close all outside doors when a calima strikes.  The cool air in the house lasts for 2-3 days.

- not to drink alcoholic beverages

Bollocks to that

I had the front and back windows open to get a through-draft, but my god it was blowing hot air through like a hairdryer!!!  I've closed the back window now.  This is going to be bad

They're forecasting it worse down on the coast today, and the wind has died off a bit up here and it's not as bad as yesterday. It should be starting to thin out and die away tomorrow .....

they are vile though.

Cruelty to weather forecasters - they're only trying to help.

We got this in an email yesterday evening:

"Se informa:   

Que existe alerta por temperaturas máximas según información ofrecida por el 112.

   Que en un principio, durante el día de hoy, la temperatura  alcanzada en Alcalá se encontró entre 23º/ 25º en el periodo horario comprendido entre las 14:00 horas y las 18:00 horas. Que mañana se prevé que durante el mismo periodo horario suba algo más la temperatura, situándose los termómetros entre los 25º/28º, por lo que el CROSS POPULAR SOLIDARIO no se suspenderá, repito NO SE SUSPENDERÁ."

Ay diós mio. 

[Janet]

my god ... what would it take to call it off? ... and are you still going??

[Myrtle Hogan-Lance]

We'll monitor their site today and see if they call it off.  Otherwise, it will be cooler down there but if I arrive and it's too hot, I will let OH run as he likes running in hot weather.

It will be even more fun since the car declined to start on Thursday morning (after arriving home in normal fashion on Wednesday) and so was grua'd away to Victoria in Las Chafiras (thinking about starting a Tenerife rant about there only being one Merc dealer in the south) who cannot even look at it til Monday.  There are no rental cars available from Avis locally so we have to get a cab down and back.  This is going to be about the world's most expensive small distance run, and it may not even happen for me!
