Circocorts!

Circus show-time around the block with this one-man, tap-dancing clown entertaining hundreds of locals and perhaps igniting a ‘I want to do that’ desire in at least one of the youngsters watching!

First aid was administered to certain parts of the garden collection, both in the wee hours on our return from Madrid and this am when we saw the most drought hit areas of the patio, balcony and roof terrace. All but one have been saved.

Cooler in Barcelona but our bedroom is exposed to over heating through the roof terrace above. The fans have been brought down from the attic and their blades cleaned for action, plus the air con on the first level has been tested (although it is fairly weak). We may retreat into the twin bedroom to the rear for the hotter months…it is distinctly cooler.
