Ash cloud, what ash cloud?

I had just written a long post and then somehow lost it before it uploaded - damn it! Can we have a 'save as you go' button please?
I was commenting on the clear blue skies here all weekend, such beautiful weather with no sign of a cloud and great for bikers, picnic-ers, local marathon runners, children with kites. We have seen all these today, but feel sorry for people struggling to get back to the UK or elsewhere in the world.
Our little barn at the back of the casa is collapsing thanks to the Spanish rains so now we have a dilemma. As soon as we get our residencia we can either apply for a grant (which might take 2 years)or just get permission and rebuild it out of our own hard-earned funds. Does anyone know what the current situation is in the Alpujarras for grants? Has the economy suffered too much for bids to be successful? I would be grateful for any replies!
Steve's eye is mending and he can see a bit already, so we hope all is heading in the right direction. A shame really as I enjoy calling him 'Blind Pugh'! However, I will get him to contribute a bread recipe next time, while he is 'resting'.
