Tuesday May 12, 2020
At least twice a day, around 11:45am and 4:45pm, there is a call to Catholic Mass at the church 3 blocks away. They play Ave Maria in Latin over the loudspeakers. I am embarrassed to say that, as a Catholic and a student who took Latin in school, that I am a complete failure. It wasn't until this week, after listening to Ave Maria probably one thousand times that I realized that it is only the Latin version of the Hail Mary prayer.... I hang my head in shame.
We had a nice rain overnight again so the backyard is thriving once more. The greenery, flowers, birds, insects and animals are all happy. Killer was way out in the sun, beathing heavily with his tongue way out so I brought him a dish of water. He emptied the dish in a minute.
The rosebush is going crazy as are the sunflowers finally. It is funny that I found grasshoppers in both. Tom Thumb continues to battle rivals for the feeders and the dogs are barking at the neighbour who is making noise.
It is another very lazy day of long naps and Netflix. I am thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to resume watching Outlander.
Cristina informs me that I can now only go to Tulua on Friday. They have what are called Pica Placa rules (Plate Sting)... People with licence plate numbers ending in whatever number can only travel on certain days. This was a common worry in Cali where it is a daily curse but unusual in little Tulua. Thankfully Andalucia is even smaller and this is not a rule here.
While we want to kill that damned virus in its tracks in the whole world, the lockdown is becoming a royal pain-in-the-a$$ when we can't do the simplest shopping and get tasks accomplished. I can't even talk to my phone company.
Stay safe everyone.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.
