From what one reads, it would appear that much has been done to return life to being as normal as possible, at least on the surface. This is very important for the economy of Madeira, but it does not mask the fact that for many of the individual people affected it will be a long time, if ever, before life will return to normal. With an apartment in Funchal, which I am pleased to say was not affected, I wanted to contribute in some way and wanted my contribution to be put to good use by an organisation that would use it effectively to help the people so I asked my Solicitor (now Maderian friend) to suggest an organisation His response was as follows:-" If you wish to make a contribution, I would sugest a non profitable organitazion called Caritas Diocesana, which has been doing a fantastic job:" Bank: Montepio Geral Account: “Cáritas Ajuda a Madeira” Number (NIB): 00 3600 0099 1058 7824 394 I just thought that other blog readers might want to be aware of this organisation also. Finally I wish to thank Der for the blog and to the people who provided information during those crucial few days. What a great community it proved to be! Just because I want to, I am also going to make a one off contrubition to the blog as I think that Der deserves a trip down town to see his mates. I hope his watering hole is open of course!

Just picked up from the Diario, the Beer House (on Funchal waterfront) is reopening tomorrow, Friday! Vic our accountants want our IRS totals a bit later (late March or early April, for electronic submission). It seems to depend which bracket you are in. Best to check with the man at the Loja. Good News!
