Tuesday October 2/12 update

Happy 70^th Birthday Leonie!!

I was awake early and decided at 5am to get up and try to catch some early morning shots with fog and sunrise if possible.  There was cloud this morning which negated the sunrise and the fog just wasn’t here this morning.  I had intended to catch the bus up to El Valle but the lack of fog made me decide to stick close to home.  I took 80 shots and did manage to get 8 shots of value, regardless….

Rosa was a ½ hour late and left after 3 hours work.  At least she claims to have reinstated her RUC status so we again above-board with the laws regarding payments to domestic workers.

I slipped out to Coral for a few minor groceries and ended up deciding to do something about our plants.  I came home with a few new ones and trashed some old ones that were on their last legs.   Hopefully we can find the right formula to keep these alive.   Is there a dirt cheap way to tell when they need water?   I know, stick your finger in the dirt….   Been there, done that.

We also heard from another potential volunteer for AAC so hopefully we will meet her tomorrow.

We just got the sad news that Miguel’s father has passed away.  I am going to miss him joining in at our classes.

That was today’s excitement.   Please see all photos at souvenircuenca.blogspot.com.  Hugs to all.
