Yet another holiday!
Just been into the village and everywhere closed - what is this one for?
You can spend, minutes, hours, days, weeks or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened - or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the f**k on.

All Saints, or Souls, Day.
The Spanish honour their dead relatives. Just go to your local cemetery and see all the flowers being laid on the graves.
Cheers

It's a National Holiday, All Saints Day. Traditionally people spend the night with their departed at the Cemetry. Good business for florists too!!!

Re: Yet another holiday!
Today is All Saints and tomorrow is All Souls (aka Dia de los Difunctos, the Day of the Dead.)
Schools will be shut today and tomorrow and I understand that people working in the public sector have both days off but shops will be open again tomorrow.
If you raise a glass today the toast is "absent friends".

Re: Yet another holiday!
Thank you. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find the village shops closed tomorrow - they generally are here - but hopefully Bricor/Leroy Merlin will be open.

Re: Yet another holiday!
I doubt if any shops will be shut tomorrow, it's not a holiday.
The large shopping centres are open today as is Leroy Merlin etc.

Re: Yet another holiday!
To be quite honest, I like these days off work. I can't wait for the next one on December 6th. The one on the 8th will be lost because it's on Saturday.
