No totality today in Alicante but we are expecting a few exciting reactions; some of the those gathered on the terrace are to witness their first ever solar eclipse. Hey!

Perfect eclipse viewing conditions here in Polop de la Marina.
 Clear blue skies heading for 30º later this afternoon. 27º as I write at . . .

OK. Here goes.
BTW, the speckly things on the sun are sunspots.
