Waiting in Spain

So far the rain shows no sign of falling on the plain.

We've been waiting at the warehouse since about 0830.

There was a little bit of receiving to do but that only took 40 mins or so.

Other than that we've been sat listening and watching the downpour waiting for a truck to pick up a set of shipments for the Magellan.

This happens quite a bit here.

We're told mid morning but that probably means just before lunch. The waiting might not be so bad if it wasn't for the rain.

Starting to feel a bit hungry now but of course we can't leave in case the truck arrives. They're not eager to work in this kind of weather either.

Just confirmed that the truck is arriving.

Probably just like Webster and still half a world away. It's not as if I haven't got stuff I could be doing in the office. Could have a cup of tea as well.

20 minutes later we get the truck but now we only have 30minutes before lunch. Arghh !!

Thankfully the forklift driver carries on til it's done, and we're only 10mins late.

Now we can get changed and leave the port for lunch. Needless to say it's still raining and we're getting soaked.
