Hello,
I'm like little kids looking forward to getting to the beach already. I'm tired and a bit scattered too. I made a video of a part of my day.
(This post should have come out earlier and I should already be in bed, but there was a little problem, the power went out suuudddddennly... that delayed me)
It is already past 12 am.... :(
There is no silence in it, only in some parts where I removed the audio myself. My house is very quiet and I know that well, I notice it more when I walk away from it.
The video shows a bit of the landscape I could see from the window of the old car, one of those classic cars or Almendrones as we call them here. It didn't have very good suspension and being tin it sounded like a demon. We even had a Dementor attack. ๐
I was travelling to Artemisa, which is about 60 kilometres from Havana. My family on my mother's side lives there.
Then I arrived at Cรฉspedes and Avenida Street and got off the rolling tin can. My aunt was waiting for me there. I went with her to her house and spent some time with her and her pets. The cotorra (parrot) is a talker par excellence and she told me she was rehearsing, because they gave her a part in the silent comedy. Just as well, because with all the shouting she does, she becomes unbearable. Luckily now she's quiet while I finish this post.
My aunt set the seams on a pair of shorts for me and said she was going to make me some sleeves with a thin fabric for my bike rides.
She has a little sewing workshop and sews very well. She's a pro at this ๐, and although her sewing machines are old, she always keeps them up to date and they have served them for many years.
My aunt is one of those people who knows how to do everything. They call her a handywoman.
I took some pictures of her threads and her mess. Everyone has their own mess, right?
Then we went to visit my grandma. In the video, she complains because we're leaving for Varadero first thing in the morning and she didn't have her hair cut. Now - she says - she has to look ugly until Friday or Saturday. We didn't see her hair as ugly, quite the opposite.
My grandmother has always liked to look pretty.
I also laughed a bit with her and her stories. Today she told me that she is going to place a small glass of water for us to have luck on the trip, and that her dad, Sabino, used to cure with water, invoking a spirit. And that she made that request to that spirit too. A man she never met, Doctor Periquito.
I found the story funny, but now I know where my obsession with water comes from and that I don't take pills, just water if I feel unwell. I only take a pill in extreme cases. Sometimes when I have an unbearable migraine, like a few days ago.
Being with family is always very good. And tomorrow will be even better because we're going to relax at the hotel we like, the StarFish Cuatro Palmas. I had to come because the bus to Varadero Beach is leaving from here. I will tell you all about it. I won't stop posting. I already have a whole plan made for leisure, without neglecting work. And I might even go see my relatives, the dolphins, at the Dolphinarium there. I'll bring them a Hive pin.
I miss Chanel, my little singer dog. ๐
Hugs... see you (muy) soon.

This dog is so cute and I want to love him and I see the sparkle in his eyes ๐ฅฐ
Hahaha... That's my aunt's dog. His name is Toby.
BYB, SMH your aunt has a VHS like OMG!
๐คญ๐คช Yes, she has a few curious things here. I was just looking at her perfume collection as well. She's got some real antiques in there.
How divine your grandmother and your aunt, they are both beautiful, what does it matter that your grandmother didn't cut her hair, she is beautiful!
Thank goodness the cotorra rehearses silent movies jajajaja
What a nice tour of the video and see the sewing machines! I remember my great aunt!๐
You saw how funny. When the electricity was turned off she started laughing. Sometimes she's a bit scary.

Mi tรญa es onda retro jajaja
Es re buena onda tu tรญa!!! Asรญ decimos en Argentina jajaja
That video has an effect that I love, the sound of a slowed down car, it's the sound of another reality.
About the text, besides introducing us to a fabulous actress or actor, I'm not sure, you have left us a great metaphor about science. Where the rest of us see disorder, the scientist, in this case your aunt, sees order and harmony.
Y... good morning... @nanixxx
Ah, the Dementor attack. I remembered Harry Potter I don't know why and slowed down the video... Maybe it was the parrot effect.
๐๐ Good morning.
Good morning โ y feliz martes.
Happy is. I wish the same for you.
Mira lo que me encontrรฉ ๐คช๐คญ
Maybe she found you. Did you hear a whisper? Did she want to tell you something? Or maybe she was looking for me (my ego always around ๐).
-Really? asks someone who swims inside me.๐ค
Gracias ๐ค
๐ tantas preguntas... ๐
Y tantas respuestas...
Que tengas un gran dรญa...
It's great you got to spend some time with your family ๐ Your Aunt takes the sewing seriously. A mess? Nah just part of workshop and stuff needed for future jobs. I'm sure everything in there has a purpose.
Oh the dog, what a cutie ๐ฅฐ What a pair you both make, hehe. The parrot ๐ฆ very colorful, talented and pretty if I may say so. I was thinking while watching the video at the beginning and thought darn you are moving along quickly or is that video magic, haha.
Anyways here am I, remember me? I know it's been a little bit but it feels great to come across this article of yours. Take care Amiga and keep enjoying events like the one you shared with us today. ๐
The parrot ๐ฆ very talented yes.... It will be a movie star. Amigo, I apologise for not coming to visit you these days, what a mess hahaha.... But I'll make it up to you. ๐โฑ๏ธ
Pero jamรกs te olvido.
Let's go to the bar?
Or better the swimming pool ๐
That's my thought, jaja I haven't visited you for quite some time, a lot of happenings not to mention I have been in an awful foul mood of laziness. Hoping to get some mojo back ๐
Ummm. Ice cream shop first than let's do a beach side with a bar nearby, haha ๐๐ท๐ป ๐
Definitivamente me perdรญ tu llegada a delfรญn (debe haber sido durante mis pequeรฑas vacaciones de fin de semana). ยกยกFelicidades, ahora...para orca!! ๐ป
Feliz viaje y estancia en el Vara. Abrazos para todos.
Sรญ ๐ jajaja... Pero no te has perdido nada. Esto empieza ahora.
Un abrazo, ๐ค. Los quiero mucho.
Eso!!! Abrazos y cariรฑos de vuelta.
๐ Keep Up the good work on Hive โฆ๏ธ ๐
