Almeria Half 2008 - last weekend in January

[El Gordo]

I've got a message for Antonio -
Amigo, we're not there yet and already the BBC weather forecast shows heavy showers for Saturday. Que passe Dude?
Is there some local annual ritual you guys perform during this week to ensure the skies fall on Almería during the race?
And don't say 'yes, we invite the English to our town.'
I'm not buying it :mad:

No rain forecast for Sunday though, which makes a change. Cloudy with a bit of sunshine, and pretty reasonable temperatures over the weekend -- max 17 or 18. No idea what that is in real temperature but someone did once explain to me that the further away you get from zero, moving in a non-negative direction, the less cold it gets. Can't get used to 32 not being freezing. There's no logic in this zero thing. But I'm wittering. Probably driven to distraction by my options:

1. coming last in the Half, and sentencing the rest of the gang to hypothermia as they wait in the darkened stadium for me to turn up :o
   
2. struggling round the 10K, chasing Ana's shadow
   
3. joining Antonio's brother on banana duty
   
4. finding a cosy tapas bar somewhere that has an internet connection, and finishing my annual tax return
