Hamburg

Sheila and I spent the last 10 days in Hamburg as I had to undergo some cancer surgery at the Martini Klinik here. It all went well, but I will take a few weeks to recover fully. For the anaesthesia I had to shave my beard, which is growing back nicely. From all we know, the stuff the surgeon took out is fortunately very unlikely to grow back.

The weather has been cold, grey and wet. Today it got quite windy. Both of us look forward to going back to Mallorca tomorrow to enjoy some sunshine.

Rain and sunshine

We have had a week of stormy and rainy weather here in Mallorca, but today the sun came back out. Sheila and I went for a long walk along along the beach and around the harbour, very enjoyable! Unfortunately, for tomorrow the forecast is for more rain, great for the water reservoirs that have risen by about 6 meters.

Mallorca on a windy day

Yesterday we celebrated Siegfried’s birthday, very nice. Over night the northerly wind picked up and now it is blowing a proper gale, with gusts that probably exceed 40 knots. We went to Cala Sant Vicenç to watch the waves crashing into shore, but it was difficult to stand in the wind.
