The long weekend

First of all, we're greeting my sister Kim a happy 22nd birthday! We hope you continue to grow with the values enriching us this season of Easter. Celebrations may be postponed until the proper time, but enjoy it anyway.

It's such a long weekend for us, having no work from today until Easter Monday. After attending the Stations of the Cross this morning, there was nothing much to do, specially with the cold rain suddenly trapping us in the house. It's the perfect weather for cuddling, which we certainly did as we browsed through every channel.

At midday, the chef called as many Sri Lankans he could possibly think of, as today marks the New Year in their calendar. It's interesting to note that they also have a specific time to take their first meal, which we almost interrupted when we called my sis-in-law.

The weather tomorrow will be colder, and not necessarily a more comfortable one than today's. But there's much to be ecstatic about with waking up tomorrow. My uni days friend, Mitch, had driven over from Sydney today with her sister's family, and we're meeting up after having last seen each other some 5 years ago. I have a school kid's hope for spring in me, and that's enough to keep me going.
