(re)turn of the season, weather, world finance etc, etc.

yes, I'm back from Andalucia and a bit of the Cadiz county - from sunshine and
sublime beauty of buildings, old towns and flowers; not to mention the food; had the near perfect holiday
(I missed Alan - just a little bit...) with best friends, sea and adventures...
The weather turned horrid here on the day of my departure (hihi) with the most
terrible tempest ever, that took off tiles from most rooms in the village;
the wind-turbine experiment flew away - luckily not injuring anything;
our cheese-cloths - that were outside drying was returned for days from
various parts of the village. The rain was getting in the loft under the
still intact rooftiles, as it was "falling" horizontally. Anyways, Alan managed
to replace the tiles by 1:30 am over both houses, with some still missing over bits that were too far to reach from inside; I'll ring the insurance people tomorrow.
Alan made red tomatoe chutney from the fallen tomatoes. Otherwise all ok,
I got home to a beautifully cleaned kitchen. Tons more of paprikas, tomatoes and aubragines still to collect and proccess... we have also a bit of a cheese mountain, as Anna decided to ask about the legal dos and don'ts before selling them, and has not talked about this topic since.
the cold is continuing, with more of it forcast. This was indeed a sudden
change to autumn, not the lovely long indian summer we got used to here, never mind.
I forgot to take my camera to Spain - no pictures until the throw-away's pictures are developed - 24 of them only... the one included now was made before I left about a particularily big moth, outside - luckily... apperantly there are 10 times bigger ones in Paraguay, that bite - said Mikeala, the wwoofer who was there and seen one.
