It is another time to take it easy and breathe to reflect on a former joy. However, I am overtaxed (as some dear friends might have noticed!) by some more stress caused by my boss lying in a hospital for hip surgery, and I must do his orders as in my so-called retirement (seclusion). That means every day on standby! I don’t know when I just will be left alone!!
So, I just wanted to let you know that I will probably be almost off for the next two weeks. If you ever mind, you might forgive me for my lack of or late feedback! ππ π Now it is enough lamented; let’s go to one of the most beautiful Canadian islands.

You may remember I shared four parts about the last trip there on New Year’s Eve 2021/22. For the first time, my adorable wife wanted to travel “again” to the same place. I promise she had never done it before! Her reason was obviously the stunning warmth of the winter there, the excellent hotel, and the fine mail. But, we had to recognise that that hotel and everything around it was not as perfect as those days, and the weather wasn’t cosy warm despite being autumn and not winter. However, we gave our best to enjoy, as accepted!






As you know, it is a volcanic island, but we didn’t want to repeat our review from the last time but to see those we missed. Like the green sea, which “fortunately” is forbidden to get near down to it!

I think it is enough for today, and I thank you, I thank you, for your passion and compassion. Have a precious time.πππβπΉ
Aladin, it might be good for you to take a short break from your blog, I do it every couple of months or so in order to revitalise, otherwise I’ll become drained.
I hope work isn’t too busy in the coming days! How exhausting, still you obviously have much compassion for your boss’ situation as you’re offering to help out.
Lanzarote looks beautiful, especially your photo of the Green Sea. It’s great to hear that you’ll be returning at some point. Rest up this weekend! Love and light, Deborah.

Oh that purple sky is exquisite. Who wouldn’t want to go there again.
The feeling of being on standby is hugely stressful for me. And stress/anxiety brings exhaustion. I understand all too well. Wishing your boss a speedy and full recovery. Big hugs to you and yours, dear Magician.

It looks like many friends have misunderstood the post: it’s a report from last October as I was there for spending holidays. Now, unfortunately, I’m at home in a kind of standby if I must go working or not. Because my boss is in the hospital. In any case, it’s not enjoyable at all. ππ
However, thank you so much for your kind thoughts. ππ

I’ve never visited Lanzarote but it certainly looks beautiful – the green lake I’m assuming is filled with an algae to get that amazing colour – nature is incredible! You are kind and dedicated to offer cover for your old boss – I hope that you’re getting the opportunity to rest as well Aladin.
