My quiet work day and some news about the schengen visa
Yesterday I wrote about how many sunny days we have here, and today the weather was cloudy. I think I jinxed it, because my day started and ended with clouds. I remember seeing the bright sun only a few times and feeling its warmth. Because I managed to go for a walk during my lunch break. Even though I could only walk for 30–40 minutes, I think it was enough to rest and enjoy a little. I also went for a walk during work time. I had ordered some things, and my phone notified me that my orders were ready for pickup. Honestly, it was already late, and I had only 30 minutes left of my workday. So I decided to go and pick up my orders because I could collect them until 6 PM. If my team lead reads this post, I hope everything will be okay.
Now about the Schengen visa news. A few days ago, the Spain Visa Center (BSL) published news saying that Spain had stopped accepting visa documents and canceled all appointment dates. However, today that notification was removed from their website, and all Spain visa channels on Telegram reported the same. I also saw messages saying that the Spain Visa Center has started accepting documents again and is working as usual.
Fortunately, if this is true, some European countries—Spain, Italy, France, and Greece—have declined the new law that would have tightened the issuance of Schengen visas for Russian citizens. I think I mentioned this in a previous post. Now I finally know for sure. I think this is good news because I have other plans to visit Europe, and I hope I will be able to get a Schengen visa. I’ll write about my next plans once I have my visa.
