Three Tens Equal Today

I doubt that I'm the only one who has noticed that today's date is 10-10-10. I don't know if that's supposed to be lucky or unlucky. Does anybody know? I know that eight is the most coveted number by the Chinese. They'll even pay to get a telephone number with 8's.

This has been a walking in the rain weekend. Yesterday Madrid was under a yellow alert for rain. So far, it hasn't rained today, but the skies have been mostly cloudy so the threat of rain is still with us. I know it'll probably pour when I'm thinking about going out with the dog - never fails.

 I've spent time this weekend getting my winter things out. I've got a pile that needs ironing and I'll do that later on I promise. I've just got back from taking a few kilos of paper to the recycling bins. There are four near my house - one that I hurry past because the stench of pee is so strong, one where the smell is noticeable and the other one is up a hill. I usually go to the 'noticeable pee' one for convenience; the 4th one I pass by on my way to the supermarket and deposit a few things when I remember or feel like it. Anyway, I've noticed that people aren't ready to let go of summer yet. People are still wearing bermudas and the outdoor terrace I passed on the way to the recycling bin was packed. Of course, there is a bullfight, but I don't think it's 'sitting out on a terrace' weather. It's not cold yet, neither is it warm. I went out in a jacket. I saw the weather forecast (on the Internet) for Cincinnati and Lexington KY and saw that it was supposed to get up to almost 90º F today. I guess there are also places that aren't ready to give up summer yet either. I sure don't miss the humidity in those places.

Nothing much else to say unless I start griping about my neighbour whose life is constantly flashing 12:00, and I don't want to start on that so soon after my holidays. I, and just about everyone I know, was struck down with a cold last week, so I can't say I never get one. At least we could watch a sad, sad film and no one would notice if we cried. LOL. I hope that's the only cold I have this winter. Hope everybody has a good week too.
