We celebrate Saint-Rodrigue this Monday.
We are the 72nd day of the year, and we celebrate the Rodrigue. Saint Rodrigue was beheaded for his faith by the Muslims in 837 in Cordoba. The sun rose two minutes earlier, at 7:10 a.m., and will set two minutes later, at 6:51 p.m. On the weather side, we are waiting for the return of the rain with still mild temperatures.
