The big news this week was the national elections here in Guyana. Everyone was happy that, at least so far, there have not been any protests, riots, etc. The incumbent won again, and the inauguration was held today.
For me, it was a quiet week. Due to the elections, no one planned anything in case things went south. In addition, Monday was a holiday (for voting) and also Friday (Mohammed’s birthday). Despite the holidays, John was busy with work while I was happy to stay home and watch more tennis. Last Sunday I had a fun video chat with Lea and Rachel S., and Friday I had a nice long conversation with Mellisa, a consular officer, when she came to use the pool.
John and I watched “Thursday Murder Club,” “Anatomy of a Scandal,” and “Highest 2 Lowest,” the remake of the old Japanese “High and Low.” We really enjoyed Spike Lee’s version! I finished reading the amazing “The Lion Women of Tehran” by Marjan Kamali and started “The Wide, Wide Sea” about Captain Cook’s last voyage.
John and I have been enjoying the pool! It’s lovely!
