My oh my....we're in July.

My oh my....we're in July.
Little Lara woke us up just before 6 and whilst Rosana was feeding her I switched on the TV and watched the latest on the London bombing. Terrible. Horrendous. Déjà vu.
Headed off for an early morning run on Monte Pajariel where I suddenly remembered a similar morning in March last year running along this same trail with the horror of the Madrid massacre still lodged painfully on my retina. And here I am again and here we are again. 50+ innocent victims in London. 190+ innocent victims in Madrid. Many thousands of innocent victims in Iraq and Afghanistan (who’s counting?). The evil that men do.
Here it’s all quiet. I take the zig-zag trail upwards behind the slaughterhouse (grotesquely appropriate this morning) and soon Ponferrada is distant below me, waking up and humming softly like some faraway beehive. The track takes me half way up Pajariel and that’s quite enough for today. Dip down into a gully on the other side, scanning the pine plantations for deer, and then steeply downwards, braking slightly to the village of Otero where the village dogs greet me with a chorus of manic barking. Ran on to the next village, San Lorenzo, where the dogs are still asleep. Then back to Ponferrada via the road.
Running time 59 minutes.
