Lazing On A Sunny Afternoon

So, today was another rest day and that's what my mum and I did. Sprawled on the settee, I caught up on family gossip and we talked about the coming year. Nothing exciting but the sort of general chitchat I miss.

My dad, on the other hand, went for one of his wanders. I think he's seen much more of the local area than I have. In fact, he's found a local food market that I didn't know existed (I must get him to take me there).

Later the three of us went to the local park to watch the milonga (general tango dancing by normal people) and I showed them the local Statue of Liberty. Didn't I tell you that we have our own SoL here? It's not as big as the American one or the French one - I don't know how it got there but it's not the only copy of a famous statue in BsAs.

Finished this evening by playing cards... and my dad kept winning. If I didn't know better I'd think he was cheating but I watched carefully - damn!
