Apologies, I have several posts waiting in various formats, and others in my head unwritten; but TypePad's new setup messes with the formatting in invisible ways, and I can't seem to resolve it. Will post when I can either figure out what to do, or they fix the mess they've made.
(Although - admittedly - the day is beautiful, thoroughly summery, and full of well-being – almost as much as there was in Spain. A shame I can't write more about it.)
