Weather not as expected

Well here I am back at work again.

Before I left, comments were made about how nice and warm it would be to work in Spain. We'll wait and see I said.

So far, after about 3 days, it hasn't lived up to their expectations, at all. The weather starts off quite cool in the morning, then warms up during the day to peak mid afternoon and then starts to cool off again. It hasn't got either too hot or too cold just yet. It hasn't chucked it down with rain yet, but we did have a little drizzle yesterday which could quite easily have turned nasty.

The time difference doesn't quite match what was happening at home either. Now when I wake up for 0700hrs the sky is still quite dark, and stays light gone 2200hrs. I think Spain should go to the Portuguese time frame which is an hour later than the rest of Europe. Seems daft to me that the whole of Iberian peninsula isn't on the same time zone. This would work geographically as well, as you'd just switch time zones when you cross the Pyrenees.

The weather back home doesn't look too bad.  Temperature in the high teens, light winds and over the last few days just a bit of rain.
