BOAT EXPLOSION
While having morning coffee and swim at our local beach, a boat exploded not far from shore - but far enough. We witnessed the event, but as of yet - don't know exactly what happen. Of course, we had to take a photo!

LITTLE FURRY SPANISH FRIENDS
Dear SpainLifestyle.com,
We sit outside in the evening and these beautiful little creatures come and amuse us. They are tree rats, more like hamsters, herbivores, only eat vegetables and bread. pinky grey and so cute, they come out when they hear our voices. They run along the wall, climb down the wisteria and climb nimbly up the wrought iron bird table. We have now bought them their very own bird bath!. We have whole families who diligently collect the food, from tiny babies to mum and dad. This morning I went into the kitchen, the door was open and our blind Jack Russell was there. I found one of the ratties in the vegetable basket taking some garlic!! I tried to catch it to say good morning to my partner, he jumped into the umbrella and then ran up my arm to get out!! They are beautiful, clean creatures and so intelligent. They are not in the least threatening. If you see them in your garden, please look after them!!

COMICAL CHARACTERS AT SPANISH FLEE MARKETS
Spain is full of flee markets - or "rastros" and they showcase a wide range of articles for sale from antiques to just junk. While searching through the stuff on sale, it is fun to observe the gypsies who are the kings of these markets :)
