Spring greens

Back home today. It's only a 3-hour drive but seemed to take most of the day by the time we'd got up, packed, tidied up, done some last-minute shopping, taken a tour of Barcelona's inner-city motorways, and stopped in La Jonquera for some more shopping.

It's great being on holiday, but it's good to be home too. There was no sign of Mystère, who as usual had proved sadly aloof with our house guests ("We tried to make friends," they reported in the note they left, "but failed.") He eventually turned up at about 7:30; he's not a cat to bear a grudge, and after the 30-second "Who are you?" freak-out, flung himself at us joyfully.

Unpacked, quick blip, quiet evening in ... sorry I haven't been keeping up with comments, and thanks for the hearts and stars for the last week's blips.
