Sometimes it's hard to believe that I live just over 200km from Africa! After some much needed snow here is the Cerro de Caballo (3009m), Tajos Altos & Lanjarón Valley
Been enjoying putting together a simple project with , a very quick, small, classless CSS framework that makes semantic HTML look good.
Photo from a few years ago ... Some of the most difficult ski touring I've ever done, whilst attempting the peak of Klyuchevskaya Sopka in Kamchatka. Here, trying to negotiate the rocky and volcanic dust laden glacier. Almost like a scene from a SciFi movie.
I just love the smell of moody olive groves in the morning! Especially those cold and fresh winter mornings when the sun is low in the sky and the shadows are long
My daughters sent me this from this morning. They at travelling the Golden Circle around Reykjavik. Looks incredibly beautiful, but extremely cold
The old spanish "cortijo". I wonder what tales this old ruin has to tell?
Views from the today's dog walk. Lots of water, sun and fresh air!

I think Rita enjoys plunging through the morning dew on the grasses
Comet ZTF (C/2022 E3) the next bright comet to pass earth. Good article about the comet and where/how to view it.
Ghostly almond trees, coming out of the morning mists
Panorama of the snow capped mountains of Spain's Sierra Nevada taken by https://chriswright.photography/. Shot from the Sierra Lujar to the south about half an hour before sunset.
Having a lot of fun this morning having a first look at . It's still at testing stage but you can try it at https://chat.openai.com/
As a lover of all related things, I find it an exciting glimpse into the future.
But is it going to be an ultimately good or bad thing? Plenty of food for thought as I continue to play around.
This morning I set up a basic website using my favorite SSG , together with Tailwind CSS and Alpine js.
Used https://css-tricks.com/eleventy-starter-with-tailwind-css-alpine-js/ as a guide. Whole thing from start to production build, including PostCSS optimisation took 30 minutes. Makes life very easy for us amateur developers. Recommended 😀

Arko being chased along the terrace by Rita on the morning dog walk 🤣
Looking down on the town of Lanjarón this morning, with the Venta El Buñuelo and main road below. Have a great weekend all my fellow Mastodoners
It's a beautiful day!
Impromptu flamenco in a local bar tonight. One of the reasons I love rural Spain
Me and Cerro Torre! The closest I ever came to this magnificent mountain, a sight that will live long in the memory. Of course, to get up there I'd need helicopter assist 😂
