We recently spent a couple of weeks off on holiday, relaxing, swimming, basking in the sun, and generally mellowing out.

We were down in the depths of Andalucia, 20 minutes from the Med, in the bowl of hills that surround Lake Vinuela.

Plenty warm enough, mid to high 30s (and early 40s) for most of our stay, and plenty of local activities in the forms of various fieras in the surrounding villages.

In the meantime the folks on the Orange Project were playing with inflatable shapes down on the shores of the reservoir. Fun stuff, and bits of which you can see in Orange’s current tv campaign in the UK.

Bizarrely, the folks on the Orange Project claim to be in a desert, in the middle of nowhere, where it’s not rained for years. Sorry, but they’re not close with any of those claims. For starters where did they think the reservoir’s water came from? Maybe this reflects Orange’s disconnect from reality with their surreal animal-based tariff structure.
