Life plods on

Well, I went to the wood yard and it was fairly uneventful, thankfully! Obviously they didn't have the sizes Jaime had told me and so I had to improvise a bit - I hope I have the right stuff!? My car wouldn't fit the wood in and Rafa hasn't been at school for a few days and so Yicel from school took me in her pick-up and Ana came with us. They were highly amused by the whole thing! But, I now have everything here.
Sadly, Jaime couldn't come back from Tegus this weekend as he was suddenly given an extra seminar on Saturday at his uni! So I still have no fence - but I do have the stuff ready for whenever he can come - hopefully next weekend!

Things have been fairly uneventful really. Yesterday was spent cleaning the house - I even polished everything and washed the windows! With all the dust it all gets v dirty v quickly. Kulicha came round and cut our grass and so our house looks very respectable now!

I was meant to go to the Old People's Home today with youth group, but it was cancelled for some reason - the old people had something else on or something?!

It's the Day of the Pine tree soon (the Pine tree is a national symbol) and so there are folk dances, traditional dances and all sorts on in the Plaza in town every night and so this week should be quite interesting.

Not much else to say. We don't have any water today, but I no longer get stressed by that. It is a city wide problem. Why should it bother me when everyone else is in the same boat? You just learn how to live with it!! Hopefully we will have water in our tank tomorrow.
