The Simpson's Irish Raid.

Hailstones now and thunder every 2 minutes. Google assures me that hailstones need to be bigger than 1.5 inches before they destroy a solar panel. They're not that big, do I need to worry? Here's a photo, the lighter is for comparison as I have no bananas.

Breaking a Solar is difficult Barrie, but a plastic roofvent..not so.my MH roof is a little dented in places.
A Swiss friend of ours had his MH written off and his restaurant tiled roof severely damaged in the same storm...
I've seen tents torn to tatters...so be careful with the awning..⚡💧🌧️🌨️🌩️⛈️🌦️

I'll be vigilant don't worry. As seen in the photo they were tiny, pea size maybe, so no worries today.

So now we are in Burgos. No photos of the site as it is one huge great carpark full, and I mean full, there are at least 80 or 90 vans here, and it is awful. But it is free with water services albeit we won't be using them, and almost in the centre of town, and we took a taxi to a wonderful restaurant where we had an excellent lunch. The temperature is once again up in the thirties so we now have the air conditioning on full blast. The battery is good so no problem. We'll probably head on again tomorrow and leave the sight seeing for another day.

Morcilla de Burgos, after all we are in Burgos so it would have been rude not to order this delicatessen.

Mollejas de cordero.

Lechazo asado en horno de Castilla. This really is the food of gods.

Just a few chips to go with it. There was a lettuce and onion salad too, which is a typical accompaniment for this dish in Spain. But nobody wants or needs to see a photo of salad.

Why is it so busy? Just volume of normal weekend use or is there a special event on this weekend.

We need to have this sort of info in our planning file 🤭

The morcilla looks good. Every time we cook it (and that will be tomorrow as we empty the fridge) it renders down to almost nothing.
 
I'm enjoying the food pics - would you mind translating what the dishes are please? ( And if you wouldn't mind also naming the restaurants, I'm a bit of a list maker ) I can work out some dishes but it'll all be helpful for when we're in spain next, apologies if you've been asked before!

If you're on the aire that I think you are in Burgos they had a really good market on there before the carpark was all tarmacked.

I have no idea why it is so full, there are no ferias or such on right now. I spoke to a local guy here and he said it is always like this, so just popular for the town I guess. As I said, we will not be sight seeing on this occasion, but the Burgos Cathedral is something to behold apparently and there are more attractions too.

Just had a Portuguese twat empty his grey tank on the floor... I did not confront him because it is too hot to be fighting in the streets. But I might set fire to his van later :cool:

You need to cook it on a very high heat and quickly so it holds its own, and take it out the fridge just before cutting the slices. Only ever use Extra Virgen Olive Oil.
