This morning the mist was so thick we couldn’t see beyond the terrace. It was as if we were standing on the edge of a cliff, a bit like the film Gorillas in the Mist except we have neither Dian Fossey/Sigourney Weaver nor gorillas here. But it is a reminder that we are 500m above sea level. Today the temperature is predicted to be 13° while on the coast at Marbella it is 18°. Up here, with the gorillas, sound was deadened, nothing moved, no birds sang, even the ants were not marching across the terrace. 
5 to remember
como – as if
el borde – the edge
un precipio – a cliff
una película – a film
un gorila – a gorilla

I couldn’t help but chuckle at the Gorilla’s in the Mist! Most of January and all of February was like that here so I can sympathise. At times it felt like we were living on Dartmoor, or in the Scottish Highlands with so much mist and fog. Thankfully that has now gone and we have mostly sunny days now though today is a nippy 8 so hardly t-shirt weather. Tomorrow is meant to be glorious so I hope it is for you too.

You know when we say we live in southern Spain, people imagine it is like the summer all the time. Nope… snow, wind, rain, storms, lightning, thunder, we get it all! 🙂 SD

Great photos! Here in the Pacific Northwest, rain and mist are daily bone-chilling occurrences, but we love the moss, evergreen trees and ferns, as a result.

I must admit it is greenery I seek, having grown up on the Yorkshire coast, NE England. But I love the summer browns and yellows in Spain too. SD

Great movie, great shots! Your terrain and mine is similar, I’ve noticed.

Haven’t seen it for a long time, but makes me want to watch it again! Last thing I saw Sigourney Weaver in was ‘Paul’! SD

Last thing I saw was Avatar. I hope she stars in a lead again soon.

She is a good straight actor, but great comic timing too. Have you seen ‘Galaxy Quest’, v silly but fun! SD

I was about to write that there’s something ‘mystical’ about a ‘misty’ morning – then realised that it’s probably no accident that those two words are homophones. I know your area pretty well, having researched for maps and guidebooks in Andalucia. I’m enjoying your blog very much 🙂

Thx. I hadn’t connected the two words either, but I think you are right. 🙂 SD
