I thought it a good opportunity (the only real opportunity) to show the sun going down on 2020. A year which will not be missed.
Well, right now it seems like we are in the middle of the proverbial "month of Sundays" at the moment. As ever, the post office has taken a slight opportunity to remain closed (Saturdays stopped in March at the first sniff of covid) and it was closed on Christmas eve and New Year´s eve (and many days in between). Today is supposedly Friday, but it sure feels like a Sunday - and strangely, the supermarkets are actually open this coming Sunday - Go Figure.
Of course, the spanish festivities are still in full swing, as the "Reyes Magicos" don´t do their rounds until the 6th of January, but here in Casa D, the Christmas spirit lasted until first light today - then we started purging all the decorations, lights, cards etc. We did make one concession though, as we will be having turkey again tonight (and probably for most of the weekend).
We did make the effort to stay up and even went out on the top balcony at midnight as is our (irregular) custom. G even took out a couple of sparklers which we reckon must be more than 20 years old. They actually lit, so I have orange rings burned on my retina for the next month. Along with our sparklers, half the costa had decided to let off fireworks (but nothing "official", so we watched and listened for half an hour (actually they were still going at two in the morning). Not a great ´photo, but it is a screenshot of a snapshot of a video I took. Hmm.
