Eclipse day - but not here.
Start out to show off the waterfront and the new(ish) walkway just north of us. But by the time we’ve made a couple of stops at pharmacy and supermarket the rain begins so we call it off and settle for food and drink and chat at home. Happy they’re here for a long weekend and there’s visiting time.
The country is going into holiday mode this week. Bayram, the celebration at the end of Ramadan, is Wednesday, and public servants have been given “administrative leave” for the week. Including the attached weekends this gives them nine consecutive days. Other employees not quite as lucky, but banks will close at noon tomorrow and other shops likely to close a bit early as well.
