YES! Today I received my first freelance pay statement! Well, the money is still not in my account due to interbank transfers (the banks are both in Bremen) which must indeed be very complicated in this day and age...but nonetheless I feel rich - today anyway.
Also a big plus today: people working in public transport, i.e. all those men and women driving around in rusty, dubious mini buses, are on STRIKE! YES!!! That has meant that the noise level on my street has been comparable to that of Sunday afternoon, and on a Monday morning that is quite agreeable.
Other great news: the first ají plant had a flower this morning, and some of the tomato plants have tiny green tomatoes. We are looking forward to harvest time already. But first we must eat the mountains of fruit and veg that we managed to take home from Minka yesterday. It's a cooperative running a food and commodities market including a huge fish section, but since we arrived just after 15.00, we didn't feel like trying the lukewarm afternoon leftovers...Next time! Instead we bought everything else, I think.
