They said: 'We are afraid.'
Come to the edge, he said.
They came.
He pushed them...and they flew.

Hi Nada, I hope you can hang in there/here. After months of dry we finally have rain, but winter is about to hit, so not sure it's in time. Have you heard the big news of NZ from last night? We have legalised gay marriage, for better or worse, many celebrate.

Hi Nada - How are you? It's been a couple of years since we came to Javea in January - it must be much warmer and sunnier there than it is here now!

Summer seems to be shaping up to be rather nice, unlike last year when summer didn't arrive :-) Have a nice Mediterranean winter over there :-)
