With the way your luck is going watch out for the wolves!
Food waste is in a bag in the van so as not to attract animals!
I'll use the potty tonight. No early bird will be getting my worm.
And the bears
Don't they have zombies there too?
Be careful of farm dogs if in the Spanish Pyrenees, not as friendly as the farm pooches in the UK. I found out just how fast I can still run.
Cartagena worth a visit.
And if you want a good fish restaurant, with a nice setting on your way up the coast - try Antipodas in La Azohia between Mazzaron and Cartagena. Nicely away from the sunburnt Brits. And a nice stroll up to the castle above to walk off your lunch or work up an appetite!
Both myself and Mrs Bigsi have had a bad dose of the Covid since weekend so we’ve had a trip to the top of Holme Moss for a van picnic and an escape from the 4 walls of the house.
Luckily we only live about 3 miles away.

Strange, I thought Cartagena was a bit of a dump. Lots of very poor areas. Only decent bit was this:
Yeah views are immense and we rarely stop at the top to take them in.
Cheers for the good wishes, I think we are coming out the other side now.
Was only saying last week that we should see about another booster as it’s over 18 months since we had the booster.
Doh!
Get well soon
Always the same when it's local. We have a cracking view from our home (not quite on a par with Holme Moss), but we rarely pause to appreciate it.
Just weighing-up whether to have another booster. I'm no anti-vaxxer, but getting booster after booster is not usually how vaccines work and there seems precious little explanation available (I prefer making informed decisions rather than just doing as I'm told!).
That was pretty much the way our conversation went. Anyway, we should have a bit of natural immunity for a while after this.Always the same when it's local. We have a cracking view from our home (not quite on a par with Holme Moss), but we rarely pause to appreciate it.

At the risk of a derail - annual flu and Covid vaccination is a very good thing. These viruses mutate and evade your immunity over time, so it’s important to get some antibodies primed for this year’s strain.Always the same when it's local.

I slept like a log in this spot on the French side of The Pyrenees. I didn't wake up until around 0815, a lot later than I expected and wanted to. I then started my drive to Spain to south of Alicante.
I have woken up to worse views. Had breakfast in worse places too.

I have woken up next to worse looking cows, albeit never 3 of them.

I had to stop as a few of these were wandering on the road. The sound of all of their bells ringing was great.

The problem is, my 6 1/2 hour drive kept getting longer as I had to keep stopping to take in the views. I love this area.

And then finally on the Spanish side.

So, in case you were wondering where I had been in my van today, France and Spain. No mishaps either.

Apologies to all for continuing the derail, but...
I understand the mutation argument, however, I remain unconvinced by the reasoning that says we need constant boosters because "antibody immunity wanes over time". Of course it does - it's supposed to. It's the B Lymphocytes' job to act as the immune system's "memory" and generate appropriate antibodies as & when required. It's this exclusive focus on the longevity of antibodies and the complete lack of acknowledgement of how the immune system as a whole works that makes me question the motivation at play.
