Ahhhh the old tradition of ‘cow tipping’ now has a science
A cow of 1.45 metres in height pushed at an angle of 23.4 degrees relative to the ground would require 2,910 Newtons of force, equivalent to 4.43 people

So me n mrs mule set off from NL on Friday night, drove through Belgium and France down to Bordeaux. When we arrived at 4am it was raining really hard….most upsetting… but the following day we met up with some friends, Barbara, Russell, Scarlet et al. It was glorious and sunny, we went for a ‘beet spoat ride’ (speedboat ride) in Glyns nice power boat across the lake, and enjoyed some drinks at the bar. In the evening we watched the sun going down over the Atlantic Ocean… very niiiice.
The following day we set off for Spain driving through the Pyrenees and down through Zaragoza to Buñol.
Bunol was already heaving with tourists for ‘La Tomatina’ which is part of a week long celebration. The actual day of the Tomatina begins with the locals climbing a greasy pole to pull off a Ham tied to the top.. This takes about an hour with hilarious attempts of wobbly human towers. Once the ham is down the tension really started to build up, people started ripping each others t-shirts off and throwing them around, water cannons were deployed to cool off the masses.
At about 11am a big ‘boom’ signals the arrival of the trucks, filled with tomatoes.. They slowly drive down the narrow street emptying their tomatoes on the way down… It turns into a frenzy, we were scrambling on the floor to pick up tomatoes and throw them at everyone or anyone in sight…. Pure mayhem!!!! After 40 minutes we were totally covered, drenched, stinking of tomato flesh (it was hard not to gag) tomato penetrates every bit of your clothing/hair/skin. We started to wander back the bus to clean ourselves up… Getting showered by the locals on the way. I took some photies with a waterproof camera… So you’ll have to wait until I get the film developed… I can’t wait!
We are still in Spain.. and debating catching a flight home because we are really, really tired. I think I may pop back in a few weeks and drive the bus home from San Pedro with mrs mules dad… huzzah!
The most well known festival this month is La Tomatina in Buñol near Valencia which is the world’s biggest tomato fight. This takes place on the last Wednesday (31st). It lasts only two hours but the hearty partying begins at the beginning of the week.
Rules for those taking part include no bottles, no tearing of clothing and the tomatoes must be crushed before they’re thrown.
Veterans of the battle advise that accommodation is scarce and it’s best to stay in Valencia (40 kilometres from Bunyol) or elsewhere nearby and take public transport to the festivities.
Me n Mrs Mule will be driving down there in the Bus and stopping off in Bordeaux to see some friends on the way. We hope simply to drive n park there the night before.
The attire is simple: COME DRESSED TO WEAR TOMATO JUICE!!
(its interseting to note that the Dutch solcialist party logo is a Tomato being thrown… “For centuries the tomato has also been a symbol of protest: it was thrown at bad actors. The Socialist Party aims its tomatoes at political actors.”
LOL… sweeet!

Homemade Baby Wipes
I like this idea of making your own stuff at home, ok you still gotta buy the supersoft towls.. but the rest is (simple?!) considering the band saw!
“There are many places on the web where you can get recipes for homemade baby wipes. This, however, may be the only one which suggests making them with large shop tools. I think it adds an interesting element of excitement and danger to an otherwise mundane task.”
