@guaguasglobal Thank you for replying - Today we gave up after waiting for so long & wasting the morning. I hope the improved capacity/frequency will mean we can actually get to Las Palmas soon, hopefully tomorrow 😊

.@guaguasglobal As well as waiting 90 minutes(!) from 0930 at Aguamarina today only to see 3 91s go past without stopping as already full 😔 We always have to stand from the airport after a scramble even to get on - surely indicates more frequent 91 buses needed? Please advise…

@guaguasglobal we waited 90 minutes for the #91 to Las Palmas at Aguamarina today - the 3 91s we saw were all late & all full so didn’t stop 😔You need more buses on this route!! Meanwhile 70&9 etc passed frequently almost empty

I kept my last name for lots of reasons, one being that my PhD was in my maiden name. Overall though, changing my name felt like a radical break with the person I had always been, of a sort I didn't want to make - and that no man is expected to make. Approaching 30 years married now, so hardly about lack of commitment! I'm very glad I didn't now that I'm targeted by the world's most deranged activists, since my kids don't have my name. It's become pretty uncommon in my circles to change name - and almost all those women married before kids came and stayed married to their first husband. The correlation between high education for a woman and getting married before kids and staying married suggests not taking husband's name is a very poor signal of lack of commitment in marriage.

Yarn-bombing is thought to have originated in Texas USA, instigated by clothes-shop owner Magda Sayeg and a group known as Knitta Please, who began the "knit graffiti" movement to brighten up public spaces in a form of street art with crochet and knitting #WomenArt
