Weather

I don’t know if it’s climate change or not but it had the audacity to rain here the other day. I don’t know what the worlds coming to. The temperature dropped so severely I almost had to put a shirt on. 26 C is not warm enough when you’re used to 31 C. Anyway we will get over it and in a few days get back to complaining about it being too hot.

There has been a request for us to stop skinny dipping as the locals found out about it. Apparently the cows and goats have stopped giving milk and the hens have stopped laying.

There is a lot of noise here at night but once inside we’re so engrossed in each other that we don’t hear a thing. (Gag!) There are quite a few mozzies around in the evening and I have got quite a collection of bites.

Only going out briefly for groceries and the odd margarita on the beach makes life is a little boring right now. We only go to the beach every couple of days; sometimes for lunch; sometimes for a drink. For lunch Rosalie likes a hamburger and I have whatever else, usually my favourite, shrimp salad.

There was a bus tour to Guadajalra but we chose not to go until the Covid dies down a bit. Even working up a sweat watching Omar at work isn’t helping as he seems to have been working elsewhere lately. He hasn’t been around for a while. He told us that he had dengue, not good, as he only lives a couple of hundred feet from us.

Considering we’re cooped up together 24/7 Rosalie and I are getting along just fine. Each of us has our chores; Rosalie cooks, I do the dishes and hang up the clothes to dry as Rosalie can’t reach the line. Then it’s time to settle down with our books, games and email stuff and maybe watch Netflix in the evenings.

It’s difficult getting as much exercise as is needed so I suggested that we get a ball to throw around. A nice one was found at the market today, so we’ll see how that goes. I’m a little concerned as Rosalie has a better throwing arm than I. Also, a frisby was nowhere to be found.

It’s beginning to look as though there will be new neighbours this weekend. Some folks are coming from Canada for a month. We’re looking froward to possibly having some company.

At the market today there were a lot more Norteños than usual. That’s a good thing for the local vendors. Most of them wore masks but not all.

Checking to see if the mattresses for the loungers were in yet, we were told they would be another two days and 200 pesos more so I told them to forget it. It will probably end up costing more elsewhere but I somehow felt that they were trying to rip us off.
