Catalonia traffic jams (1 Viewer)

[Richard n Ann]

We travelled north today past Peniscola and into Catalonia, when we got to Amposta on the N340 the traffic came to a standstill, lots of locals seemed to know what to do, either turning round or turning onto dirt tracks. I could see with the binoculars about 500m away A load of demonstrators blocking the road as the police looked on and did nothing.
Tonight the news channel was full of it, seems like they're all over Catalonia (or maybe they're not as bad as they seem)
Has anybody else travelled through the region and seen anything? I'm thinking of heading up to Zaragoza to avoid it.

Just stop here, no one goes north this time of year. Bob.

We'd like to but it's bloody freezing, 6° in Benidorm this morning. Might as well be at home if we need a coat.

Were in Javea and they say down to 8c tonight but I'm in bed until the sun comes up.
Had friends round today lovely day, we're south facing out of the wind, but when the sun goes in so do we. Bob.

I feel for you all.

There's really no need, our daughter's are always telling us
' you don't have a clue you don't live in the real world '
But then it was our choice so we just have to put up with it. Bob.

If you would like to make the ° symbol when typing, you can use these methods:

1. On PCs - hold down the Alt key and on the numeric keypad on the right of the keyboard, type 0176, or Alt+ 248 When you release the Alt Key, a ° should be there.
2. On Macs - option shift 8.

I push Sym then you see 1/2 push that and it's 2/2 and there you have it. °°°°

°°° by jove it works!!! and I may even be able to remember because 0176 is almost the STD code for where i used to live.

Yes... It's got arrow keys too, which is why I got it. Can't stand having to p1$$ about moving the cursor about with my finger

Yesterday swiftkey was giving me word suggestions that were clearly passwords

 

[Richard n Ann]

Nothing to report today, we're now in France and didn't see any more disruption. Must have been a one day event
Until next time

The Swift keyboard is an add on, available on any Android device I think. If you go to the Play Store and search for Swift Keyboard you should be able to find it. You can also add languages to get ë, é, ê, è etc It is uncannily good at predicting the next word you want to write.
