day 7

A poster from near the University area of Orihuela from yesterday. I took a small cooked English breakfast in the Washington bar, 4E and 1E for a second coffee.  Various people come in, many because they can have a fag in the covered terrace.

day 5

On a walk to get air this morning I see a goldfinch in a cage outside a house near my father’s.  It was agitated: With my father we speak about the plans that were announced for emergency evacuation of the British from Spain.
