Here again

We took a short trip into work and then Playa Major, with a bit of lunch in a grubby cafe (sweet service though). As I watched the Italian youths strutting and kept an eye on the boys in the surf, I saw an ever increasing column of smoke appear behind the frontline hotels. Then the fire planes started their job of scooping up the sea water. We don't see so much of this in Soller, but it's a regular occurence round Calvia and beyond unfortunately. The huge pall of smoke eventually seemed to diminish, but as we set off for our hills it was very obvious the whole length of the island. By the time Ben was at his first footy practice of the season, there was still a trace over Puig Major. So that's what you're looking at. Smoke, hopefully bearing no traces of despair with it and that old cycle starting again.
