Unlucky for Some

It’s Friday 13th.

Did you know that in Spain, nobody worries about Friday 13th, just Tuesday 13th?

Anyway, my son is very lucky today. It’s St. Anthony’s Day, and so the village of San Antonio has it’s local fiesta. And that’s where my son’s school is, so they wanted to shut for the day.

Initially, they were told that no, they couldn’t, because they’d already used up their elective days. Then at noon yesterday, the word went around that, yes they could.

So he’s had one school day this week.

I wish I had a day off housework!
