^ reminds me that Saturday I said "Ramadan Mubarak" to a lady at the fruit market , who was wearing Shalwar Kameez. It was so nice to see her face light up !

We had a new central heating/hot water boiler installed in October. In December it began leaking. Fixed. On Saturday it was leaking again. So we have had no heating or hot water until... Hooray the manufacturer came this morning while we were having breakfast and fixed it.

I finished a BIG project for my consulting contract. Still have 1 to go now (plus 1 after my holidays), but this was the tough, nasty one.
And a dear friend I haven't seen for too long asked if I had time to join her and another mutual friend for coffee tomorrow. I told her only if I had made good progress on my work.
So this evening I managed to focus, and made some ok progress on the next project, so I can justify seeing them tomorrow!

Well as it is after ten PM at night and the day is almost over, the fact that I survived the 29 March is a good thing. Soon it will be the 30th of March.

After much hassle, wasted time, aggravation, I finally persuaded a courier to deliver a package.
They received it before Easter, it first went out for delivery Monday last week, they lied repeatedly by saying we weren't in. I have intervened in the limited ways available on about a dozen occasions, either making suggestions or complaining bitterly.
It seems likeñy that the central office in Madrid finally instructed our local operative to behave itself.
It seems like nothing works properly anymore.

Yesterday was Supermercado Day.
It had to be postponed by a week owing my wife being bitten on her foot by a dog rendering her unable to drive no to walk more than a few dozen yards since before Santa Semana.
It took an age, the shadows being in a quite different direction when we left from when we arrived at the Supermercado.
