Carnival Approaches
They call this a ‘Bloco’ and they are practicing for Carnival which this year starts on Friday March 1st and goes on until Ash Wednesday on March 6th.
My wife and I were out enjoying the morning sunshine and taking some exercise when we came across this happy bunch of people practicing their music and songs in typical Brazilian fashion. The beat of the Samba on the drums is unmistakable.
Everyone knows about the world-famous carnival in Rio, where I live just cannot compare to that, (can anything) but we all have a good time, probably due to the amount of alcohol drunk along the way!
Well the excuse is that there are 40 days of lent after carnival until Easter but I have yet to see much abstinence!

Son of a Nutcracker Its Christmas again already!
Well, here we are again, and another year in Foundry land is drawing to a close. After the last couple of years, 2023 really didn’t seem to hang around at all. As ever, its been the Synchro Teams pleasure, to have assisted, fixed, corrected, advised, and generally helped where possible with issues faced, or questions asked by you, the Synchro user, who make our job worthwhile, and we all would like to wish you all the very best, and warmest wishes as we head to 2024.

Cartagena
Snap decision one Thursday to drive to see Cartagena in Murcia which is south eastern Spain. As ever sat nav utterly accurate – 4 hours to do 405km. Great drive around Granada and up into the wooded hills on very quiet roads. Scenery changes and the Land and hills become very dry with little vegetation. Murcia is a very dry part of Spain.
