    Well this summer has been the worst of all I could remember, so the other day when rain was falling over Madrid
    I was happy.
    Now it seems Autumn is here at last, I am happy.

    Never before I was happy when Autumn was coming, less light, wind, colder days, but this year everything is
    different.

    Welcome Autumn.

    Happy, Happy, Happy, yes I am happy but also because I hope to traslate Cuca from the place she is till a new place close home, so close as three minutes walking.
    Please cross your fingers and wish with me to have her very soon nearly at my side.

    Thanks.
