Spain out of lockdown!

Feeling' hot, hot, hot 🎵🎵 yep, that's the general vibe here 🔥 summer has most definitely arrived! 🌞 Average temperatures have been in the 30's with 'cooler' days in the late 20's.  Fortunately, most days there's that lovely afternoon breeze to help cool things down - that and our lovely hot tub on our roof terrace (which is refreshing despite being a 'hot' tub lol!).  We've used the tub most days and in fact two other people locally have bought one and are enjoying the benefits of a lovely bubbly spa tub - it's inflatable but fabulous quality and very sturdy, once inflated it's very solid!  It was our little treat to ourselves last summer and so far we're delighted with little indulgence.

And so to the Alfie update.  He's one of our two small dogs and had trouble with his paw early last week.  The vet sorted things out but Alfie then started chewing the top of his paw and wouldn't leave it alone, necessitating our use of a cone of shame.  Anyhow.....back to the vets I went with him on Friday.  He suddenly became about 20kg heavier at the door but I managed to coax him in and in due course presented him in front of the vet.  He started screaming - and I mean screaming - when she clipped the fur in the area and, to cut a long story short, it took both myself and the veterinary nurse to hold him still (and she had him in a very professional sort of arm lock) and I suspect the screams were audible in the old town 😱  I must say I felt like joining in...... The vet located a sharp piece of grass which had pierced the poor little chaps paw but boy was he letting us know about it!  It was incredibly hot and sweaty in there, my mask kept slipping off my nose and I was pretty stressy hearing Alfie so unhappy; his brown eyes were fixed on me with a "Mummy how could you" look and even while screaming, his little tail was wagging.  Once a cheery yellow cartoon bedecked bandage was in place, both he and I fled the scene and he's now fully recovered - as am I!

And whilst on the subject of dogs, it seems our two are fully aware of social distancing 😂

On Saturday evening we went to Alcudia for a wonderful (belated) birthday celebration for a friend.  We went by bus, the first time we'd used public transport since recent events; we wore our masks throughout and the bus driver was wearing one too which means he must wear one for hours on end going back and forth on the PP - Can Picafort route.  Rather him than me!  We felt perfectly safe.  Once in Alcudia we ate at one of the restaurants in the marina area (plenty of hand sanitiser available) but first had drinks on our friends' boat where they live, and felt very jet set!  In fact we had such a good time that we were naughty little stop outs and finally arrived home by taxi at 2am 😳 the taxis here now have large plastic screens behind the front seats which completely shield the driver so although we asked if we needed to have our masks on we were told no need!  Again we felt very safe.

In local news the Rosa Blanca (White Rose) pool is opening on 1 July and Batucada Bar and Imperial are now open; sadly Sparrow Bar (near the Pollensa Park Hotel) is not opening this year but will be back in 2021.  And what was Kashmir in the square is opening soon as a churreria.

Churros are a sweet Spanish snack made of a strip of fried dough dusted with sugar or cinnamon.  Luckily the oil they are fried in is usually olive oil so as healthy as anything fried can be!  Traditionally they're made in a star-shape which means more surface to get crispy and means it won't burst in the heat of the oil; the star-shape is made by using a sort of Playdough extruder 😁  They're usually ordered with a cup of thick chocolate to dip them into so it might be best not to count calories!  The best way I can describe them is doughnut-like but that's not quite right - if you've not tried them before, give it a go some time if you get the chance.

This week we hope to get the boat back in the water as the part that tilts the outboard engine has finally arrived so fingers crossed - normally we're in the water around Easter so we're very late this year.  I'm sure we'll make up for lost time and be out enjoying the water soon.  And tomorrow evening we're going to Nostalgia for their Tasty Tuesday Special - I've pre-ordered their famous fish n' chips, Ian's opted for chicken pie - it's a tough call but ......😂

Stay safe and hasta jueves!

Spain out of lockdown!

Well it's certainly hotting up here - 33 degrees today - but I see it is in the UK too.  And this is unfortunate.  Unfortunate because from the pictures we are seeing here of (in particular) the Dorset coast's beaches including and most obviously Bournemouth - well let's just say it isn't filling those of us who live here with confidence in British tourists coming here.  And it simply couldn't happen here.  Last week when on the beach, some people walked past carrying those inflatable standup paddle boards and stood for a few minutes near some other people to put things into a waterproof plastic canister.  In due course along came one of the lifeguards to move them on and it looked like they told them to move rapidly out of the swimming area too but importantly - "move along, too close!"  Heaven forbid anyone from Bournemouth beach should end up on a beach in this part of the world but....well let's just say I think they'd find things are rather different here......😳

Speaking of things being different here, masks are compulsory in closed spaces which are open to the public most obviously shops, supermarkets, and also outdoors in public spaces where it might be difficult to maintain a 2m distance between others not from your own household.  It is obligatory for 6 year olds up, and only those with medical issues where use of a mask is contra-indicated are exempt.  How one proves this I am uncertain and am looking with interest at the various Q&As on the subject on Facebook, but suffice it to say, if this applies to you I would make sure you have a letter from your doctor stating the need for exemption as the police don't mess about here and will fine you anything from 601-30,000€ 😱  If you forget and set foot in a shop without one on (as I did the other day) you can be sure you will be reminded very rapidly (but very nicely) indeed to put one on immediately!  All shops etc also have hand sanitiser everywhere.  So masks are now de rigeur and we all carry them, there are lots of different patterned ones to match every outfit, so much so that locally, they have been incorporated into window displays:

Tuesday saw me at the vets with Alfie who had a sore paw and was limping.  He's quite the drama queen so every time we so much as touched his paw he squealed like a hyperactive piglet.  The vet received much the same reaction so at least it's not just us, but either way we thought the problem was sorted; sadly he decided to lick it so much it's now worse but in a different place and we've had him wearing the cone of shame to prevent further damage sooooo.....it's back to the vets tomorrow.  In the meantime he's crashing around like a small, disgruntled tank and taking every opportunity he can get to scrape past/bash into our shins so that we can share the suffering 😵  To make sure we understand how much he is in fact suffering, he lies like a drooping flower and makes a little sad whimper every now and again.  I think we've got the message Alfie.  And we have to carry him up and down the five flights of stairs to our apartment's front door as he's a small breed so can't clear each step; he waits like the little diva prince he is for his 'carry'.  Kim Kardashian, eat your heart out!

Today we went to Son Marroig (between Deia and Valldemossa) which we have been past a number of times but never visited.  We tried once but it was shut so this was a great chance to go and experience it in hot summer weather but without the crowds.  As it was, we had the place to ourselves.  Son Marroig is a beautiful 19th century manor house owned by the Austrian Habsburgs and was the home of Archduke Luis Salvador.  In the garden and overlooking stunning views of the coast is the iconic marble temple which was just beautiful.  The garden is verdant and shady and we spent some time there as well as a look inside where the view from one of the terraces of the temple and coastline was simply spectacular 😍

Finally, in local news Laguna (the restaurant with a swimming pool on the Formentor Road towards the Illa d'Or end) is opening in July as is the Miramar and the Galeon Suites.  And finally, the municipality has started opening up the children's playgrounds thoroughly cleaning them first 👏  I must say it is wonderful to see the children playing happily on the swings and slides.  They are the future and we need to make sure it's a safe one.

Stay safe and hasta lunes!

Spain out of lockdown!

Soooo.....the weekend brought us not only the longest day on Saturday but our first day out of lockdown (after nearly 100 days) on Sunday 🎉🍻 and it felt good!  But we are all nervously awaiting the first of the tourists here in the Port; speaking to people a common feeling is that they want visitors for the economy but are somewhat wary of anyone from another country as no-one wants to see us going backwards so to speak, given the very strict lockdown we have just been through.  

On Friday I had the pleasure of going to the dentist for a routine clean, actually not very pleasurable because I have hyper-sensitive teeth and that ultrasonic doodah is a nightmare for me; this time saw me jumping all over the place so the dentist finally gave up and went to manual as it were, making a note that I'm an old-fashioned kinda gal for future cleans.  Anyway I digress, on arrival the front door to the surgery opened and a dental nurse in full (and I mean full) PPE swept towards me with hand sanitiser and a temperature thingy.  I passed muster and was told to wait in the waiting room and could even remove my mask.  I assumed that was that but no - after a few minutes she returned but this time with a full pack of disposable PPE for me - she helped me get dressed in overshoes on my feet, an attractive [sic] green shower cap and a full sleeved gown 😂  And it was thus attired that I shuffled through and had my teeth cleaned.  I wanted to ask if someone would take my photo but bottled it 😳  And I can confirm that yes indeedy, PPE is very hot and sweaty.....

Speaking of hot and sweaty, summer has officially arrived in terms of heat - 28/29 degrees over the last couple of days, and looking ahead we're up into the 30's as the week goes on.  It was certainly hot enough at the gym this morning!  Dog walks are becoming increasingly short especially at lunchtime as it's just too hot.  Yesterday we walked the dogs by the marina and saw an egret (which, along with the cormorants I always associate with the Port) on a llaut which I started to photograph, managing to catch this:

On Saturday I finally returned to the radio studio in Pollensa to do my One4All Radio Show on English Radio Pollensa.  It was wonderful to be back broadcasting and I loved every second of it and hope the listeners did too.  I certainly had some lovely messages from people 💕  This week the theme is songs/artistes with 'long' in the title, as we've all waited a long time to reach the new normal.  I've already had some amazing suggestions and can't wait to get back on air next Saturday 🎧

Yesterday there was a festive air in the Port and Pollensa itself as there was a Music Festival combined with the first day of the new normal.  There was music at various venues around the square and also in the area by the marina that used to be the bus station.  It was very festive and social distancing seemed to be ok here but I believe that a great many people were in Pollensa's main square to listen to the music there which has given the town council pause for thought due to the lack of social distancing as a result.   I believe they are rethinking other events organised this summer so we shall see.....  In any event, to celebrate Fathers' Day in the UK we went out in the evening to Ca'n Ferra (the 'little people') and had yummy paella whilst listening to the music - well it would've been rude not to 😜

Over the weekend we tackled the dog grooming again, using the equipment we've now bought.  The result?  Not bad if we say so ourselves!  And we can only get better with practice so doing our own grooming is a definite outcome from the lockdown that we didn't forsee and the dogs don't seem to mind too much.  It's certainly a money saver and every little helps!

In general news the regional government here will not permit establishments with the capacity for more than 300 people to reopen and will limit the rest to 75%.  This means no nightclubs of course.  Terraces can now operate at 100% though.  And activities such as excursions and sports are limited to groups of no more than 30 people.  

In more local news, Liberty Kitchen is due to open at the end of June and the Daina is apparently opening on 6 July.  And the Illa d'Or has opened its terrace facility (but not the accommodation part of the hotel).  However the Mar Senses has announced that it will not be opening this year but will be back in 2021.  I think it's generally felt that most visitors to the Port will be likely to be apartment/villa owners and I suppose there will only be a handful of hotels who will feel it worthwhile or indeed, financially possible, to open.  Again, we will see.....  

Stay safe and hasta jueves!

Spain in lockdown lite Phase 3 - Day 95

Well the Port is starting to come to life and places like the Torre Playa, Brisa Marina and Los Faroles are open, Centric is opening tomorrow and Ca'n Josep is opening on Saturday for weekends.  However of course there are only so many people to go around as customers are currently all locals.  As you'll probably know, German tourists started arriving this week, mainly staying in the Palma area but some in Alcudia, as part of an experiment win Mallorca but I've certainly not seen any here.  It's such a difficult balance to help the economy but not put all our hard work in lockdown at risk of a second spike of coronavirus - I don't envy the decision-makers one little bit.

We're on the way to 100 days since lockdown started although on Monday (Day 99) the state of alarm here in Spain ends.  And doing some housework we found ourselves taking the last of the loo rolls from our bumper pack of 24  - yes folks, we made it through lockdown (and beyond as we still have a couple to use) on one pack safely enough 😂

Those multiple purchases that some people panic bought at the beginning must be languishing in cupboards somewhere unless we're just lightweight users.....😳😂

On Tuesday we went for another wonderful menu del dia at El Posito.  Tumbet was again a choice of starter but I finally did what I said I'd do previously and had tumbet as my main course.  My tastebuds did a little happy dance 💃 as it was completely wonderful.  On Wednesday I did two classes back to back at the gym - Tabata first and then Pilates.  If you have never done Pilates, don't be under any illusion that it's a bit of faffing around on a mat to whale music.  I did Pilates twice a week for a couple of years but don't do it much now; however this class was a reminder of how much harder it is than it looks!  Especially if you've just done an hour of Tabata (high intensity interval training) first.....😳

Later on Wednesday we had a pretty impressive rain storm which delayed our planned Lidl trip - it absolutely lashed it down as it often does here.  Once it abated we made a 'run' for it to Lidl and managed to get stocked up.  But later that evening we noticed that the new manicure/pedicure place (not sure if it was a hairdressers too) Estilo 21 opposite which opened not long before the lockdown and seemed to be doing a good trade before and after, was being packed up into a car - in fact it was the last carload we saw being loaded and that was that; another business closed 😞

Today we 'attended' Ladies Day at Royal Ascot at Bar Bondia (near the Pollensa Park Hotel) - ladies wore hats and we all had a wonderful time placing bets (through an official bookmaker I must add) and having a wonderful platter of goodies.  I won absolutely nothing whatsoever, Ian did rather better and came out pretty much with what he started with, but some people clearly knew their stuff and did very well indeed. It was such a pleasure to have a lovely scone with jam and cream - delicious!

This weekend my Saturday radio show on English Radio Pollensa restarts after all this time; it's a new show for me running solo April - Oct rather than a continuation of the double act Graham & Sarah Saturday Show which will return as and when in the winter.  It's called the One4All Radio Show so if you fancy tuning in at 1pm (12 noon UK time) please do and if you want a shout out just let me know via the One4All Radio Show Facebook page.  In the wider Pollensa area it's 107.9 FM or you can tune in via the internet using englishradiopollensa.com or via tunein.com (search for English Radio Pollensa).  The theme this week is 'new' to reflect our new normal so part of the show is music suggested by listeners on the theme and there is some great music planned as well as the Top Ten from this week way back when. 

Stay safe, have a great weekend and hasta lunes!

Spain in lockdown lite! Phase 3 - Day 92

Well we did it!  We went scuba diving for the first time ever 🤿 But more about that later..... 

The weather in Mallorca has been pretty windy lately but the hotter temperatures are definitely here to stay and summer is well on the way!

On Friday I had a little charity shop browse and then had a coffee with Ian at Pascalinos where you just can't beat the price of a cuppa with those views 😍 There's still not a very great deal open on Pine Walk and certainly no hotels are open yet but the gardeners were in doing some work on the Miramar's sea terrace.  On the way home I dropped in to Lov which is a new little clothes and accessories shop just along from the Eolo on C/Juan XXIII.  It would have been rude not to buy anything - so I did!  Lovely things, reasonable prices 👍

Saturday's pencilled in diving session was again postponed so that conditions would be optimum for us diving virgins so we took the dogs for a walk through the gorgeous and extremely verdant and shady woods in Cala san Vicente:

We had a coffee at the cafe by the car park at Cala Molins - what a fabulous view of the beach which had quite a few people enjoying the weekend sun:

Seeing that gorgeous turquoise water I suggested to Ian that we return the next day without the dogs for a swim.  So we did - and my goodness many other people had had the exact same thought, lots of couples and family groups.  All Spanish of course at the moment but everyone observing the correct social distancing:

Once back we walked the dogs and then cycled along the seafront to Bar Bondia which opened yesterday (near Palms Bar and the Pollensa Park Hotel) for a well-earned sausage bap and cheesy chips - their baps are the stuff of legend and come recommended!  Then, to walk off the calories 😳 we took the dogs for a walk along the harbour wall.

And so today dawned calm and very warm - D-Day aka Dive Day!  We made our way round to Scuba Mallorca in C/d'Elcano and after filling in various forms including medical history, we learned about the various items of equipment and were sized up for wetsuits, fins and masks.  I can confirm that putting on a wetsuit is none too easy (taking it off later was even harder!) but eventually we managed it.  I can also report that wetsuits are not the most flattering of attire for ladies of a certain age 😂 why oh why didn't I try scuba diving when I was a 20 year old stick-insect; ah well, such is life......  Anyhow, off we went to Cala san Vicente which made it three days in a row there for us.  And it was there that we discovered that a buoyancy control device plus gas bottle and all the 'trimmings' weighs about 40kg.  It took a great deal of effort not to just fall backwards like a stranded tortoise.  At the same time as adjusting to this weight we also had to learn to use the regulator mouthpiece before we tottered after instructor Tom towards the water where mercifully the weight of everything is suddenly almost non-existent.  Spitting in a mask proved tricky - it's not my forte as it turns out 😂 - and then on with the mask which means now you only have your mouth to breathe from ie. the regulator.  I found going underwater just to kneel pretty challenging as I've never been underwater in my life - I'm not what you would call aquatic essentially!  Anyway, cutting a long story short we made our way further out and eventually I let go of the instructor 😂 and we were off.  

We had a lovely time and were down for about 40 minutes at just under 5 metres deep; we saw lots of fish including parrotfish and a baby octopus.  It was extremely strange to see a few people swimming high above us, you get an idea of what the view was like for Jaws!  And just like that it was over and we staggered out of the water and up the beach, sadly looking nothing like Daniel Craig and Halle Berry from the Bond films but in our heads - that was us! 💪

In local news, Restaurant Velomar on Pine Walk is opening as is Corb Mari, and in more general news, German tourists arrived today declaring that they felt very safe to be here - as well they should as we are all very proud of how well we have done here.  We just have to hope that this situation remains the case.....

Stay safe and hasta jueves!

Spain in lockdown lite! Phase 3 - Day 89

Helloooo!  How is everyone?  No diving update because it was postponed due to the stormy weather we've had which made the water visibility less than great 😞 If we'd had some previous diving experience it would have been no problem, but as diving virgins Scuba Mallorca suggested we postpone until the water is clear as we'll have a better first experience.  So currently we're pencilled in for Saturday morning but the weather is still a little unsettled.....we'll just have to wait and see!

On Monday we started the day with fresh weather which was trying to drizzle but the cycle ride along the front to Tamarells beach bar terrace for my gym class was wonderful and the breeze kept us cool whilst we did it.  Sadly there will be no more classes there in future as they are opening the bar soon (possibly only at weekends but I'm not sure) so now we have to register for classes so that social distancing can be maintained at the studio.  So yesterday's Tabata class was there - no nice sea breeze, we've been spoiled!  Electric fans just aren't the same lol.  

On Tuesday evening my children and I had another quiz night which was huge fun.  The theme was colours so we had rounds including music linked to a colour, a scavenger hunt  eg. "find something red" and a round where you had to identify a colour and the language from a word in another language which was fiendish!  And yesterday I finished my latest jigsaw puzzle - The Brands that Built Britain.  Very enjoyable and quite a few of the brands are still current now - Heinz, Bisto, Bird's Custard and so on. As ever, I'll leave it on the table for a few days just so that I can maximise my smugness and then break it up before tackling the next one.  I also met my Spanish friend for a coffee and a chat in Spanish first, then English.  I actually managed to use various tenses in Spanish as we spoke so I'm getting there 💪

Yesterday we went for a menu del dia at El Posito in C/Lleibeig and what a wonderful meal it was.  Their tumbet starter is the stuff that dreams are made of 😍  tumbet is a traditional Mallorcan vegetable dish usually made from potatoes, aubergines and red peppers, sometimes also green peppers and courgettes.  It is entirely delicious and the one in El Posito is fab-u-lous!  I could eat it every single day 💕

Today we walked the dogs along the marina wall - it was VERY windy this afternoon and there were some unusually large waves for the bay as the wind was coming from Alcudia which is less common here.  As we walked we noticed a large superyacht come into the bay towing a smaller boat quite far behind it.  The photos doesn't do the size of it or the wind strength justice but you can just see the small white bit some way behind.

We waited for ages getting blown to pieces to see what happened as it looked like they were towing a boat that may have been in trouble.  But where the photo was taken is where it faced into the wind and stopped and we don't know what happened next as we'd had enough of the wind as had the dogs so we dropped down to the harbour side of the wall and out of the worst of it.  Still, it made for an interesting walk that's for sure!

One piece of great news today is that English Radio Pollensa will be back on air from this Sunday and I will be back in the hot seat on Saturday 20th June with a new summer afternoon show - more news on that to follow, but I can't wait 🎧
In positive local news - Bar Bondia (near the Pollensa Park Hotel) is opening on Saturday, Amazo (where Tribeca used to be, opposite where Guru was) opened today, the Torre Playa opened yesterday (next to Sail & Surf on the front just before La Gola), El Casinet (on the front) and La Llonja (by the marina) are preparing to open soon, Osteria N.15 in the square has just opened and the Marina Apartments open on 1st July.  In less positive news, Na Ruixa on the corner behind and along from the Sis Pins on the Formentor Road has closed for good.  

In wider news, on Monday around 11,000 Germans are being allowed in to Mallorca subject to health checks, as an experiment to see how things go with regard to visitors to the Balearics.  In any event in Spain we have all been told that face masks will be compulsory here even after the state of alarm is due to end on 21st June and will remain obligatory until a vaccine to protect against Covid-19 is available.  So I hope the German visitors all bring theirs with them!  Face masks are definitely going to be the new normal for some time to come 😷  Finally, as at Monday no Covid-19 deaths had been reported in the Balearics for a week although I'm struggling to find an update to that.  In any event, it's great news but obviously we'll all wait anxiously to see the outcome of the experiment with the German visitors. 

Stay safe and hasta lunes!

Spain in lockdown Phase 2 - Day 85

Well we woke up to thunder and rain with grey and glowering skies, a direct contrast to yesterday's blue sky, bright sunshine and hot temperatures.  So we binned the idea of a bike ride as it just doesn't appeal to be out on a bike in a thunderstorm!  Instead, Ian went off to our garage to sort out some things and I went for a run on our running machine.  I didn't quite manage a personal best time this time but came within 11 seconds and was more than happy with that.  As I was running I listened to last weeks' playlist that I put together in lieu of the Graham and Sarah Saturday Show on English Radio Pollensa; it was on the theme of beaches and a top 10 from this week in 1984 - what a line-up that was with great songs from Utravox, Phil Collins, Queen, The Style Council and Wham - it certainly helped me on my way 🏃

I'm certainly making progress on my jigsaw puzzle and can sit there happily doing it for ages - Ian's in heaven as it means he can watch the live sport that's now re-started, horse-racing and snooker, which if I'm honest, I can do without.  I do love watching sport though and this would have been a bumper year for it with the Olympics.  I feel so sorry for all those athletes who trained towards this summer's Olympic games and the Japanese organisers who put in all the work on its organisation, and I really hope it will be able to go ahead next year.  And I do love Wimbledon 💕 which would of course have been on later this month.  What with all the cancelled sporting events I don't think this year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year is going to be a goer as no-one's going to have done any!  Ah well, this is a year that is proving to be like none other:

We spent the afternoon watching last night's TV Bond film 'Casino Royale' whilst a big storm did its thing outside.  We found we had two very affectionate four-legged hot water bottles on our laps during the thundery parts - really brave guard dogs 😂

Out and about during this evening's dog walk I took a good look at the repairs to the walkway by the 1919 roundabout.  Last week they placed the metal moulds for the concrete and now the blocks are in place so I suspect the end of this week will see it finished:

We walked round past Mulligans through to the square.  Mulligans closed permanently just before the lockdown started and word on the street is that it is going to be converted into apartments although that has not been confirmed anywhere.  

And so....tomorrow we enter Phase 3 of the de-escalation.  And it will be up to the Balearic government to decide when that ends.  Currently they have already stated that nightclubs/night bars will not be allowed to open here even though it is possible in Phase 3 if a region wishes it.  It does seem a bit pointless anyway as no dancing is allowed!  We will be able to travel between Balearic islands and there are various alterations to the capacity of things eg. bars will be able to have an increased 75% occupancy inside and on the their terrace.  In any event, people calling for Phase 3 to end soon need to be aware that if the regional government does this, then we will no longer be in a state of alarm and anyone getting benefits or hep from the national government will no longer be able to do so.  So together with the lack of tourists which are so vital to the Balearic economy, people could then be unemployed if businesses are unable/unwilling to open up and they will be unable to claim any financial assistance - this really doesn't bear thinking about 😱 let's hope the government takes this into account and makes some provision......

As we are about to enter Phase 3 it seems the right time to de-escalate my blog too or it'll become too mundane, so instead of posting daily, I will post on Mondays and Thursdays starting from Thursday 11th June and every Monday/Thursday thereafter.

Plans for the next few days are my gym class on Tamarells beach terrace tomorrow although I believe they're opening up soon so that may be the last opportunity to do so.  And on Wednesday we are going scuba-diving with a try-dive at Cala san Vicente so it'll be "read all about it" on Thursday! 😂🤿

Stay safe and hasta jueves!
