Mundane March

Now that carnival is behind us we have to wait for April to bring us Holy Week. In the meantime it's a case of plodding our way through March. The temperatures are up and down; some days it feels like spring, others it's like winter again. Some migratory birds are starting to arrive but not yet in substantial numbers. Restaurants which had closed at the end of November are starting to reopen but on restricted hours. It's all a bit up in the air.

On the domestic front we had to get a guy in to fix the dishwasher, but he seems to have done more harm than good, so tomorrow I have to wait in for a new machine to be delivered and installed. Then on Wednesday it's off to the hospital for an appointment with my specialist to get the results of my echocardiogram and learn what, if anything, happens next. Oh, and I'm only 54 hits short of 10,000 on this blog. There's something to look forward to.
