Picture editing, hustings planning, Merkel warning and May slamming

Bullring in centre of Spanish village
Completed the editing of the pictures taken for the Norris, a cycle of load image, straighten, remove keystoning if needed, contrast, resample and save. In the afternoon planned for the HBN Hustings with 3 of the mayoral candidates tomorrow. Wondering how the event will go, will it be a bit of a bullfight?

Thinking of bullfights. German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke to her parliament in stark terms, of the 'illusion' that some British polititians have of getting a Brexit deal as good as the existing membership.
'A third state, and that's what Britain will be, cannot and will not have at its disposal the same rights ... as members of the European Union,' Mrs Merkel said, and added, 'I must say this clearly here because I get the feeling that some people in Britain still have illusions - that would be wasted time.'

Well, this should have been guaranteed to be a red rag to a bull or at least a red rag to a red top or two. There was a robust response from Prime Minister Theresa May, that tough negotiations were ahead and accusing EU leaders of preparing to "line up to oppose us" over Brexit. However, the Sun proceeded to underline Mrs Merkels point by not seeing that the situation described could occur at all, because we all wanted free trade.

Thinking of living on another planet, the Cassini close flyby of Saturn revealed pictures of a major storm and of clouds scudding across the planet's atmosphere.
