Well spotted

S got up before dawn today for a walk in the hills above Almuñecar. At one point a guy on a path below called to him, "Come and look at this!" So he scrambled down and was able to admire this chamaeleon, which didn't seem at all bothered about being transferred from arm to arm.

The walk took him less time than expected, and after he got back we went to Lute y Jesus for a fishy lunch. I'm still battling this cold, so after dealing with the breadmaking I had a siesta which left me feeling fit enough to go down to the beach at 8 o'clock to sit in a chiringuito and watch the sunset. Actually it had already dropped below the horizon when we got there, but it was still lovely watching the deepening colours, silver and inky blue in the sea, pink and porcelain blue in the sky.

Now we've watched King Felipe's speech, balancing it with Catalan TV's scenes of massive peaceful demonstrations in Catalonia.
