Holy Week is a big thing in Spain, with lots of photogenic, religious processions. And this year I managed to miss the lot.
Partly it was the weather – it drizzled and rained constantly for the second half of the week. Mostly it was a combination of laziness and business.
I used to edit two of my blogs — the ones about the island of La Palma and El Hierro — at the Blogger site and then squirt the files up to sheilacrosby.com. It’s called FTP publishing, and Blogger will stop doing that on May 1st. I had a choice between giving Google control of all my files, or moving to another platform.
I’m a bit of a control freak. I decided to move it over to Word Press during Easter week, while I had a little more time. It wasn’t as bad as I expected. With a bit of help from Helresa publishing who host my website I got the heavy lifting done in a couple of days. Of course there were still lots of other bits and bobs to sort out, like putting the links back, and making it look nice. I’m not 100% happy with it now, but it’s a working blog again, and reasonably tidy.
I spring cleaned the utility room, too. Not much fun, but it shouldn’t need doing again for quite a while.
Best of all, I spent a day with my friends in Franceses. My goodness, I’d forgotten how much fun it is to have fun!
And now it’s Sunday night, and I’m wondering where the week went.
