Last day of the Year!?

It's quite hard to explain as I myself do not understand how it works, but today is the 29th day of the last month of the Iranian year and tomorrow we will welcome Nowruz, the Iranian New Year's Day, but still it will be the 30th day of the last month... So in fact, today is not the last day of the year. It's complicated because Iran is in its leap year and the usual 29 day month of Esfand has 30 days as I have mentioned yesterday.
It's still a holiday in memorial for the day that the oil industry was nationalized on 1951, before the Shah of Pahlavi returned to power by an US backed coup d'etat overthrowing the popular PM who initialized the oil nationalization.
Thanks to this holiday, Iran has now entered a six day holiday, though with my job it doesn't seem to be that much of an advantage without any tickets to take me abroad or at least inside the country... Still it was the first holiday for me and my wife and we worked together to clean up our rooms filled with goods. Opening up the closets and wardrobe drawers filled with my clothes was an important task for me!
The internet in our room was dead and I had to ask my wife to spend some time together in my office where the internet was fine. We didn't have time to spend some time outside, but with 5 more days of holidays, I'm sure we will have a chance to do so soon!

In the holidays... I was always eating alone...

now that has changed!
It's so nice to eat meals together...

And


"at home" meals are also nice!
