WOYWW 328 - total mess, totally tangled and some observatories on a mountain.
Good morning!
Do you really want to see the mess on my desk? Well, if you insist....
On the left are two postcards I am writing, and there is one I have received with lots of writing on it. On the right, on top of my colorful laptop, is a little book about Zentangling by Sandy Steen Bartholomew, which arrived in the post today. Shoshi is having some of her art published in one of Sandy's books (not this one). I'm looking forward to trying out several tangles, as we are going away this afternoon in our campervan for a few days. I will have plenty of time (I hope).
Panning to the right... there is a layout I am working on. Next to my coffee cup are some blackboard stickers I got yesterday. And in the bottom right corner is a box with postcards, as I was writing postcards when I took the photo. I have to finish writing them as they need to be posted this morning. The piece of paper next to the mouse is info about solar water heaters to put on the roof. We need to buy one next week.
Last night we went to the Calar Alta observatories not far from here. My daughter and grandson, who are coming over soon, want to watch the red moon (at the end of the month) through our little telescope from the top of the mountain. We thought we'd take the campervan up for that occasion, but we have now seen that it is much too steep and long for the 'old girl'. So it will be a car and a tent I suppose. (Note to self: buy tent on the way to the airport...)
There are five observatories plus laboratories and residential buildings etc. Quite a complex!
There is a modern sundial outside one of them. As we have summer time it is one hour 'out'. It was 7pm when we were there.
And the view was stunning!
The altitude is 2100m or 7000ft. I thought it would be cold and had brought my cardigan, but i didn't really need it. The weather was glorious.
Hope you enjoyed another little glimpse of my particular corner of Spain. And if you were wondering what all this desk peeking is all about, go to Julia's Stamping Ground and all will be explained.
Have a fantastic week everyone,
Blessings,
Lisca

I don't think I'll get many visits done these days. We are at a campsite with very iffy wifi. It has just taken me 20 min to do one comment!
Waving to you from below. Well, Nerja anyway. Enjoying the lovely sun you have over here, and the scenery.
The observatory looks interesting. We might have a car next time so will get out and about more.

I've enjoyed my snoop round your desk and the observatory looks really interesting. I enjoy seeing a little of life in other parts of the world so thank you for sharing it.

Hi Lisca! Looks like lovely weather in Spain - not so much in the UK! Have a great time zentangling in your campervan! Sounds idyllic! zsuzsa @ InkyDinkyDoodle #38
oh wow what a cool trip and I had to laugh about the buy a tent on the way to get your family comment lol. :) there is so much light out for so late in the evening must be partially the altitude? Stacy #48
That mess is proof that work is done here. Mine is way to clean these days.
Not tried to zentangle yet- it looks quite hard. What Gorgeous views!!
Seems you have been very busy - I've not tried Zentangle yet. Enjoy your break away in you camper van. Linda #52

I love visiting you every week to see your little "peaks" of Spain!
So many post cards, I can't remember the last time I wrote one, maybe it is time.

Oh my goodness, I love stuff about the universe. So jealous of the observatories!! What fun. And what wonderful lovely goodies on your desk. It is not a mess--just creativity! Sandy Leigh #40
You do seem to get to see so many interesting places. Great photos. Had a little go at zentangling - don't think it was very good. Anne x #34
Yes! I love reading about your part of Spain and your Spanish life! Solar water heaters...that's means you're getting on well with water systems and roofing..! I thought your laptop was a giant tangle that you were colouring! I love the idea of a postcard that really has to be a letter!
I love reading about the places you visit! We'll be watching the Blood Moon here, too. Nice busy desk! Haven't written a post card in ages but I seem to send lots of cards. Happy WOYWW!

I'm jealous Lisca, the weather looks lovely where you are. Desk looks active too which must be good. Have a great week and happy woyww, Angela x 29
Fun post...so fun to be in the great outdoors when the weather is nice. Soon to end here I think..Loving our fall, Trees starting to change, harvesting of crops very soon, cool days, loss of humidity, a change of foods and comfy cozy nights. zentangle ..haven't tried it but sometimes seems it describes my life. Thanks for your visit. Have a wonderful weekend.
Hi Lisca just popped in to check your desk this week, no post from me - too busy elsewhere. What a fabulous post - lots going on on your desk with your postcards. And what a unique opportunity to do some night watching with the observatories so close...enjoy your weekend RobynO
