Yes, but I've got a secret weapon called Mr. Pesky Wesky.

My flight may experience some problems, or even be cancelled in the end, but I did notice on other air company websites that there were very few cancelled flights to the UK. In fact those that were cancelled, were all to London airports I think

Does he mind being referred to as Pesky?

Uhhmmm, he doesn't know.

All supermarkets, shops and petrol stations open in this area. So far very little closed it seems, apart from my Mother's hairdresser who closed because she feared she would be fined if she opened. Not sure who she thinks would fine her but methinks it was simply an excuse to have a day off. She's British, btw.

Keep warm ....it's cold and windy here today.

Not much movig here...but then our village is always quiet, dozy even, except for a brief interlude between around six and seven in the evening when people emerge into the streets and cafes..then all is quiet again, even in summer...

From the Guardian Live feed on the general strike.

11.09am: Our Madrid correspondent Giles Tremlett reports that Spanish police seem upset about a suggestion by the governing People's party (PP) of prime minister Mariano Rajoy that social networks should be used to denounce illegal picketing or violence in today's general strike.

He writes:

I would say that she has been watching what happened last summer in the UK and trying to turn it to her advantage.
So I guess, if nothing else, we could say that Esperanza Aguirre is trying to connect via more modern means and use it to the PPs advantage.
Pity she was nearly a year too late and decided to act with a heavy hand rather than actually socialize. But that's The Countess of Murillo for you

Interesting - when DRY did this with photos and videos of police violence against protesters in Barcelona and Valencia recently, they were accused of faking them.
