Hi, Graham. I guess that you already have Internet. Congratulations!!! Of course, I fancy meeting for a coffee. I’ll ask Carolina and I’ll tell you, but it’ll have to be on the week after the “Puente” because I’m going to take some days off.

The story isn't finished yet, Montse. I have found a temporary solution but still no sign of getting internet connection at home.

Next week will be fine - I'm going to enjoy a lie in this Tuesday and Thursday.
