Sunday

Today has been a day of contrasts. It started off with a call from my dad telling me my mum has been admitted to hospital again with a recurrence of her previous problems. He assures me that, although it isn't trivial, the doctor expects everything to be alright. We followed that with a couple of hours on-line crossword completion. This is my favourite way to start my Sundays, it wakes my brain up and gets the day off to a good start.

Later I went to San Telmo with L. I took some more photos (see below) but I have a problem inasmuch as when I look through the view finder everything is out of focus. However the photos themselves seem fine (see below - again). OK, just sorted that out, I've a wheel that adjust the viewfinder focus to allow for different eyesight, unfortunately it's not good enough to compensate for my eyes but I have glasses.

It was a fine afternoon and now I'm at home drinking wine and thinking about going to bed as tomorrow will be a long day.

Anyhow, here are the photos...


Guards at the door of an official building on Plaza Mayo



The jacarandas are coming into bloom



The insignia of "The Mothers of The Disappeared". This is painted around the tall white statue in Plaza Maya. I've been there several times and this is the first time I've noticed it - that's what happens when you forget to look at your feet occasionally.

More tomorrow...
