The flight of the fruitbat

My mother is safe and well in Granada. Thank you Great Spirit/Goddess/God/Anyone up there who cares.

She sent me a beautiful postcard of the Alhambra at sunset. This, I take it, is meant to make up for the past few weeks of me tearing my hair out not knowing whether she's dead or alive.

Still, she sounds happy, and that's the important thing. After all, she has the right to enjoy sunsets anywhere she pleases. Beauty and freedom go together.

I have opened all the windows in the house; The wind rushing through is cool and good.

Glad to hear that!

Hope all is well in parts northern.

Thank you, you are very kind.

Things are OK-ish. I know I've been working too long when I regret not attending the HG!

Hope all is chilled where you are.

I'm so glad she's ok - you must get your aunt's number so you can call if this happens again.

...and I hope it was the Alhambra sans graffitti, as you remembered it.

Thank you:-) She claims that Granada is 'as beautiful as ever.' My aunt always says the same. I suspect old Granadines* would be saying the same if they turned the whole thing into a urban skateboard rink!

* I may have got this wrong. This may be a kind of fruit or cocktail component...
