this is a quiet easter for us. restful and peaceful and some quality family time at last. I have even been cooking and cleaning and organising stuff about the house. and not even minding!

wilson is currently watching (terrible) old religious movies. men with long hair wearing dresses and sandals. that’s all they play on national TV at this time of year.
well, they don’t even necessarily have to be religious, about Jesus, or even based on the bible, as long as the men wear dresses and have long hair. and beards. so I Claudius and Ben Hur are also up for their yearly airing.Though this one Wil is currently absorbed by IS religious; the 10 commandments. Yul Brenner, Charlton Heston. terrible acting. even not taking into account it’s all dubbed into Spanish. but apparently, highly intriguing. and recommended Easter watching.

further news;
- we changed all the children’s bedrooms, they now have a room each, and couldn’t be happier.a big and refreshing job going through all their clothes and toys and sending probably about half their stuff, now outgrown and outmoded, off to new owners. liberating stuff!
- in recent days, my new laptop arrived. I’m currently using it – so lucky am I! finding it a little weird in some things though, still getting used to it. makes me realise how much i love, also, my old laptop, now become the family possession
- also I got a new camera to replace the deceased one. talk about consumerism.
- but I am happy indeed to have a camera again. this one seems cool, has a few more functions than the last. and actually much needed for Wils business. fundamental to have a camera.
- today we went up into the hills above Naranjo to go grass sledding. this time the weather was good but the sleds, which were new-fangled fancy things forged from old plastic drums, were not.
- we had LOTs of fun anyway, which was the main objective
alas poor yorrick! I knew him Horatio!
