@Anne 2009  my love, they have a cave which @Perikles dug out shovelful by shovelful on his own.  It's nice!

Oh i see. Blimey, that must have taken some doing

I reckon it's about 70 cubic metres, that is 70,000 litres, that's 5,000 to 7,000 buckets depending on the size of the bucket. 10 buckets a day for 2 years. Because I'm a bit obsessive about measuring, I noted every bucket. Because I'm crap at paperwork, I've lost the tally sheets (possibly).

nice this morning, very warm, but not "hot" and this afternoon is a yellow alert for up to 34º but then the hot front will have passed ... I doubt it'll be the last this year ... 

Do, it's fucking awful outside.  @Janet, what's keeping you?????

I just don't do change ... I'll sleep in my own bed until the pillows feel as though they've just come out of the tumble dryer. So far, it's only got to near that point once, but didn't quite reach it ...

The Canarian Government has this lunchtime declared the La Palma fire "under control" and has reduced the protocol to level 1, leaving the extinguishing works in the control of the La Palma Cabildo, though with assistance from Government crews. The fire, which started on 3 August has burnt 12,000 acres, and has obliged some 3,000 to leave their homes at some point over the past nine days. Around 600 firefighting personnel of one kind or another have been involved, working in shifts of 300 a time. At last!

Good news

In Madeira, the two main fires, one of which was burning in the capital, Funchal, have been declared "under control" and are now in "extinguishing" phase.

Great to hear that. A bit of good news all round at last 

[Janet]

26º !!!! That's TWENTY SIX DEGREES!!!!!!!!!!!

[Anne 2009]

So, now i'm in the correct room, hows the temps been over there?

[Janet]

much cooler than when we had the calima ... the coast doesn't see much change, but for us in the hills it's about 10 degrees cooler! Now about 28º, and the forecast is for it to cool down a bit more with us over the weekend, though again not much change down with Nova on the coast.
